The ChinaNew Yorker's cover in response to the tragic Las Vegas shooting shines a heartbreakingly candid light on the problematic gun culture in America.
The David Plunkert cover, titled, “October 1, 2017: One Day in a Nation of Guns," honors the 58 victims of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, which injured 527 others. Plunkert displayed each of the victim's names on different-sized bullets, scattered across a red background.

“Based on the prevalence of guns in this country, there’s a bullet for every man, woman, and child,” the artist said about the cover, which will accompany the magazine's Oct. 16 issue.
According to the magazine, the names on each of the bullets were taken from the Clark County, Nevada, Office of the Coroner and Medical Examiner's official list of victims.
When words simply aren't enough, oftentimes magazines turn to cover art to get the message across, and in this case Plunkert's cover already seems to have resonated with people online.

Plunkert's first New Yorker cover — titled "Blowhard" — came in response to Trump's weak response to white nationalists marching in Charlottesville.

"President Trump’s weak pushback to hate groups—as if he was trying not to alienate them as voters—compelled me to take up my pen," Plunkert explained. "A picture does a better job showing my thoughts than words do; it can have a light touch on a subject that’s extremely scary."
Here's hoping Plunkert's Vegas cover will inspire Trump to take action against gun violence in America.
