The Revolution will be Fabulous!

"Designer" rifles, chainsaws and machine guns have been designed by Peter Gronquist for the collection The Revolution will be Fabulous which opened last night at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles.

Glamorising warfare isn't a new trick, gas masks are sometimes used as a stylish prop in shoots. But this, is taking it to a .. different/new level. I'm not really sure what to think of it all... I'm slightly perplexed. If anything, I'm intrigued to see it in context at the gallery, but that's impossible.

hope these types of designer weapons are not use for glorifying offensive weapons in the streets of London and everywhere else. Nice though.
