Italians are up in arms about this advertisement by ArmaLite. Puns out of the way, the image of Michelangelo’s David wielding an assault rifle instead of his trusted slingshot has Italians freaking out. David would have made quick work of Goliath with this beast of a gun.

The statue holding an AR-50A1 rifle, entitled ‘A Work of Art,’ has been criticized by Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini. He says that the advert is offensive and infringes the law. He also noted that actions will be taken against the American company, ArmaLite. Some Italians compare the ad to taking a hammer to the statue.
