Provocative Bulletproof Posters

ARS' Outdoor Posters Question Gun Laws

Discussions and debates around gun laws in the United States are ongoing, and with the help of Ogilvy & Mather Chicago, Americans for Responsible Solutions added its voice to the conversation with a unique set of outdoor posters.

The Americans for Responsible Solutions' 'Bulletproof Poster' is true to its name and coated with a bulletproof material that is capable of stopping a .44 magnum bullet. As such, the poster calls for people to question their stance on gun control laws, and includes text that urges people to hide behind it in case of gunfire.
