It is probable that children will not be looking at the ad, but young adults will, both male and female -- the males for the girl and her legs, the females to see what clothing is hot at the moment.

In my opinion it is deplorable to even hint that there is anything desirable or fashionable about having a gun. We know that there are far too many children and young adults toting guns to school and other places. I think New Times should use some good taste and discretion and refuse to print such an ad, which almost openly screams "Get a gun and be sexy!" to younger folks. Don't you have any standards? It sure is hard to teach decent values to young people when stuff like this can clog up any eyes that happen to glance at it.
