It’s not about deliberation and facts and finding solutions. But what’s even more brilliant posting the photo now is how much - whether we’re talking about gun control, the economy, or any significant political issue - it captures the way the Congress and the political right is behaving, too. What’s brilliant about the photo is how it’s red meat to both sides - that the child “gets it” if you take away the gun or leave it in Mike’s hand. Though the gun is pointing forward of the child, the perspective and photographic proximity of barrel-to-cheek arms this photo with the almost indescribable tension that such a weapon could blow a head off.

It’s not just the tension in that hand and that elbow. ![]() In the name of protection, we’re seeing the baby framed as a prop, an unwittingly counterpoint, even a hostage. What is cleverly sickening is how the photo subjects us to emotional violence. Nelson’s photo of this hard-gripping gun owner wearing the country radio t-shirt, the cammo pants and the glare couldn’t do more to stoke the fire, enhanced by Mike’s fully loaded quote: “It’s my constitutional right to own a gun and protect my family.” Targeting archival content that gibes with the times, the Getty Reportage Tumblr site posts this Zed Nelson photo from 1998 as both a visual reference and pictorial provocation as we engage this latest gun control debate.
