Milford Progressives Scared Of, And Object To The Mere Representation Of A Gun

A statue memorializing veterans in Milford, Michigan faced opposition from progressive idiots.

Milford has approved plans for a veterans memorial that earlier raised concerns in part because it included a depiction of a gun.

Yes, sadly the objection was seriously made because the statue depicted an M4 with a helmet resting on its stock and its barrel pointing down and its bayonet in the "ground" at the base of the statue.

As seen in the Detroit Free Press which has an image of the quite unobjectionable memorial.

Milford Village Council voted Monday to approve construction of "The Battlefield Cross" in the Veterans Memorial portion of the community's Central Park. The statue depicts combat boots with a rifle dug in the ground and a helmet resting on the rifle.

Let's hear it for sanity winning out over unjustified hand-wringing and unfathomable fear at the mere depiction in bronze of an inanimate object.
