Bullet Ballot
(Installation description)

Two bales of hay or straw of equal weight are placed on either side of a balancing mechanism. A photograph of the president of the United States captioned "Too Restrictive" is attached to the middle of the bale on the left; a photograph of the president of the National Rifle Association captioned "Not Restrictive Enough" is attached to the middle of the bale on the right. A notice (above) is posted at a table five meters from the target. [The gallery may loan or rent guns to viewers without their own firearms to ensure equal suffrage.]
