Hank Berrien

A new exhibit in Chicago’s Daley Plaza is designed to convince citizens that guns are as easy to acquire as bicycles; what is typically a bike-sharing station has been stocked with 10 replica AR-15 rifles instead.

Created by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence in conjunction with an agency called The Escape Pod, the exhibit is titled, the “Chicago Gun Share Program.” The Brady Center stated, “The program was developed in response to the lack of federal gun regulations and conflicting state laws that would help protect American citizens from unnecessary gun violence.” The exhibit accepts virtual donations and boasts the social media hashtag #GunShare, according to AdWeek.
