Modernista! Boston designed SHV’s new billboard overlooking the Massachusetts Turnpike outside Fenway Park. Stop Handgun Violence (SHV) is a non-profit organization based out of Boston whose mission is to decrease the number of gun related deaths and injuries in the United States, and educate the public on this issue. The work presents strong anti-terrorist themes, which SHV chose to pursue as a result of the deadly consequences that have arisen due to unregulated gun sales at gun shows. The United States has approximately 5,000 gun shows annually and 32 states do not require background checks or ids for gun purchases. (This means that almost anyone - including kids, criminals, and terrorists can attend a gun show and acquire firearms with no questions asked).
