A flag and guns. I took this image earlier this year and knew I would hold it for the 4th of July. I don't understand the fascination with guns, but here it is. (I have obscured the telephone number on the sign, but you can easily find this business with a Google search).

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

Beaucoup d'humour dans ton titre mais on peut dire que c'est assez bien vu.

I think US would be a better country if there were tighter gun laws.

I don't understand it either. It's pathetic. But I do love our country - VOTE! :-)

Ha American freedom ...
That's one thing that impressed me when I visited Chicago, seeing signs on the entrances to buildings and restaurants saying not "No smoking" but "No firearms"!
Happy Independence Day!

Very American indeed. Interesting find and perfect for today. I do not get the excitement about guns either. Violence breeds violence. I do hope your country stays strong because the world needs it. Happy Independence Day!

@Darkelf Photography: There are always dark times, and sometimes they seem worsee while they are going on. But it is never guaranteed that they will pass.
