 '... of Cotton & Rope' is part 1 of the CreatureBizarro series, a work in progress. 
This is first of three themes about the survival of African-Americans from enslavement and US history rooted in the dehumanization of forced labor of the cotton fields harvesting the ingredient used to create the rope, the very tool used against them for violence and lynching.

'...of Cotton & Rope'

The central theme of GunsRule#02 is the problem of gun violence in the United States, which consistently harms the nation's children. Throughout history, the foundation of the United States has been established and dominated through gun violence. As a result, many lawmakers prioritize profit and money over the well-being of their constituents, particularly those they deem different from themselves, exhibiting little care for the lives of their own citizens, particularly children.
