A police officer looks for evidence next to a Philadlephia CeaseFire poster while others work at the scene of a shooting late Friday night in the Brewerytown section of the city. Photographs for the Gun Crisis Reporting Project by Joseph Kaczmarek.
I guess they can add the poster to the Mythical Failure Menu Of Things That Do Not Work to Control Criminals.
“Stop shooting people!” sounds like the sort of thing you say when you don’t actually believe anybody will listen.

Or it’s the sort of thing you say when you want to remind people that shooting people is an option…
“Come on, People! We need more shootings if we’re going to get guns banned!…”
Need to replace the sign. This one’s magic has worn off.
That little part of me that thinks an anti-gun/rights person used a gun to kill someone then posted the sign in order to drum up more support.
“Sniper! Stop sniping!”
Works about as well as it does for Dora the Explorer. . .
