Okay, fair enough. But, how do you feel about displaying the Defend Equality image of a semi-automatic long gun imposed over the Progress flat? Is that the kind of message you really want to advertise or encourage? What about the bullied queer or trans kid who lives in a house where parents leave weapons unlocked? Wouldn't this image encourage them to take out their resentment at school with bullets? If a queer or trans person were to brandish a weapon purely as self defense against the Proud Boys or some such hate group, wouldn't that likely start a shoot out and possible collateral victims? Lots to think about.
