The flags also had the hashtag #ShootBack indicating a more proactive approach to gay self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>The posters were attracting attention in front of the Pacific Design Center, The Abbey, West Hollywood City Hall and in front of artist Chad\u00a0Michael Morrisette&#8217;s house.\u00a0\u00a0Morrisette\u00a0had\u00a0covered the roof of his house with 50 mannequins to make a statement about the Orlando shootings.<\/p>\n<p>If one picture is worth a thousand words, the series of posters surely represented an eloquent plea to the LGBT community and other Americans\u00a0to stand as one\u00a0(thus the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Tread On Me symbol of the American Revolution), as well as a marked attempt to encourage the LGBT community to\u00a0eschew their traditional pacifist\u00a0role and take up arms to defend themselves, in the manner of Americans from the Minutemen of the Revolutionary War to the armed service members who defend American values to this very day.<\/p>\n<p>In pictorial fashion, the poster truly represented a call to arms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40559\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_3_0-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If the series of terrorist attacks across America over recent years have proven anything, it is certainly the government&#8217;s inability to protect American citizens from acts of terror. Thus the call to arms is much more than symbolic; it is a very real reminder that citizens must be ever-vigilant and prepared to confront evil when it comes intent on violence, and the only real path to ensuring one&#8217;s own survival is to rely on the most powerful deterrent that one can utilize. Those who would emasculate Americans by denying them the right to bear arms are guilty of aiding and abetting evil when it strikes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_16-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40560\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_16-1-1024x926.jpg\" alt=\"2016_06_15_shootback_16-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_16-1-1024x926.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_16-1-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_16-1-768x695.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_16-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_49-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40561\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_49-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"2016_06_15_shootback_49-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_49-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_49-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_49-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_15_shootback_49-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>California has traditionally been at the forefront of the leftist agenda, and it is no\u00a0different\u00a0concerning the right to bear arms.
