“If I were a gun who just wanted to be a firework with a nice flare that just so happens to operate as a vehicle for bullets, I wouldn’t want to shoot anyone. I, too, would find my owner ‘irresponsible’ for using me to kill people and then blaming me for his actions. But I don’t want to to empathize with the gun that killed Trayvon Martin. I don’t want to empathize with any gun. If I were a gun, I would hope I’d want to self-melt.” – Rich Smith in New Video Poem by Nikkita Oliver Imagines Trayvon Martin Shooting from Gun’s Perspective [via thestranger.com]
