An art installation named "Metro Gun Share Program" is on display in Chicago's Daley Plaza until Wednesday.
The installation, commissioned by the Brady Center, a gun control advocacy group, was presented by the Escape Pod, a Chicago advertising agency.
The installation is equipped with 10 replicas of the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, aiming to raise awareness of how easy it is to obtain a weapon.

The idea of the installation comes from a bike-share station.
The display intends to evoke a conversation about a string of mass shooting attacks and lack of regulations.
