'Shoot a school kid only $29' billboard appears in Las Vegas
A self-proclaimed activist group vandalized a billboard near the Las Vegas Strip on Wednesday night in order to make a statement about America's gun violence epidemic.
According to KVVU, the billboard was the work of the infamous art collective INDECLINE, which says it "focuses on social, ecological and economical injustices carried out by American and International governments, corporations and law enforcement agencies."
The group apparently fixed a banner over part of a billboard for local gun range Battlefield Vegas in order to change the prominent advertisement's message.
While the original sign stated "shoot a .50 caliber only $29," it now reads "shoot a school kid only $29."

"This protest piece is in response to America’s longstanding obsession with gun culture and our government’s inability to honor the victims of mass shootings by distancing themselves from the homicidal policies of the NRA," INDECLINE said in a press release.
The Battlefield billboard isn't the first time INDECLINE has made headlines with its controversial artwork.
The group was also behind the naked statues of Donald Trump that popped up in cities across the country in 2016, including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Seattle.
