An amulet must protect its wearer, just as wealth protects the powerful from accountability, and gun advocates claim that a "good guy with a gun" can protect from a "bad guy with a gun".
The Trump Campaign received $30.3 million from the NRA in the 2016 election.
At the time of casting and etching these brooches two months ago there had been 303 shootings in 2017.
At the time of publishing this project on the last day of 2017, there have been 345.
A gun won't save you, but maybe $30.3 million dollars will.
