I'm sorry ...
...but I am a bit 'bothered' by the design in the new set 'Hands' where I am looking down the barrel of a snub-nose revolver...

I am not anti-gun (No I don't want to argue that personal opinion) it just 'feels' bad... It is not the fact it is a gun, far, very far from it... I just don't know what would anyone embroider that on?

It is just my opinion...I am not chastising the designer, or this site, it is just so very far afield from the last set that emphasized 'caring'...
I just thought you all might weigh in on it tho...

i have to agree with you here. it's not the fact that it's a gun, but that you're looking down the barrel of a gun, and the message that it would convey when put on something.

I happen to agree with you on this topic, but that was actually a requested design (along with the fist and the hand of cards) that sparked most of the rest of the set. Shocked

I find it very disturbing, but all I can do about it is not use it myself, I guess. Confused

Living here in the New Orleans area where murder is almost an every day occurance, I don't think I could use it. I am not an anti gun person
I believe in our constitution, but looking down a barrel of a gun is alitte
over the top.
