“America is about freedom. We believe in strong families, patriotism, God, and justice. We won’t bother you if you don’t bother us . . . well, that’s the way it should be,” McNaughton stated about the piece.

McNaughton – who previously painted President Barack Obama trampling the Constitution and burning it – wanted to show why gun ownership is important in this country.

“Since our country’s inception, we have proudly believed in the right of each citizen to own firearms. No man, or group, can take away these unalienable rights,” McNaughton said.

McNaughton wrote that he wanted to present the man in the painting to be a typical American.

“The man in this painting can be any American who is patriotic, responsible, well-trained, and won’t back down to any kind of aggressor,” McNaughton noted.
