seems like to me. I find this truly insulting. This highly cliquey, and expensive company is just trying to make their product more charming to the eye then it really is. Besides the obvious terrible connection they try to make to the American flag, they also seem to be trying to show us that only cool upper-class people own this fragrance.

A nonprofit organization, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, has attempted to advocate for further restriction of guns in America by releasing a series of shocking images in which guns are depicted in some form of closeness to young children.
