Guns for Good Guys appears to the observer as a military or police
armory. It is a metal structure, easily controllable from the inside
as well from the outside, with racks and windows where all the weapons
are arranged. A frightening warning, watching and serving as sign
of vigilance against
evildoers: visual deterrents that seem to do little to actually
foil bad guys. The system is based on intimidation and lies: a grotesque
masquerade fated to crumble down in case of real attack. In fact,
this terrible armory
is just made up of useless toys.
