Modernista!’s new Stop Handgun Violence billboard throws a spotlight on the legal loophole that permits the sale of firearms at gun shows without IDs or criminal background checks. The ad’s message is clear: "We sell guns! No ID required. No background checks. Criminals and terrorists welcome!" (See a larger image here.) The billboard, on the Mass Pike near Boston’s Fenway Park, is huge—the nation’s largest, supposedly, so none is likely to miss the point. Great.
