The Hitler Poster/Shirt is effective because it links gun control with
a known authoritarian mass-murderer.

Even though Reno is also an authoritarian mass-murderer, this is not 
[ yet ] the normal public perception.  The message would be totally lost
on the leftist closet authoritarians (and those merely befuddled by
their propoganda ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H the mass media) out there who think
that (a) Janet Reno is a saint, and (b) Revoking the 2nd ammendment is
a good idea.

I like it.  Not exactly subtle, but there's no rule that says the
truth has to be...
