Lease ends for pro-gun rights billboards with Native image






Two pro-gun rights billboards that drew controversy in Colorado because they utilized an image of three Native men with guns have come down.

The billboards were purchased by a group of people who wanted to remain anonymous, a local ad executive told The Greeley Tribune. They had a one-month lease that ended.

Underneath the image of the Native men, the billboards stated: "Turn in your arms. The government will take care of you."
