An art installation in Chicago, Illinois is striving to prove just how easy it is for someone to purchase a gun — in fact, it might be just as easy as renting a bike.

According to CNN, the exhibit features a row of replicas of automatic weapons situated within a metal rack, the way several bicycles might be displayed in a bike-sharing program. Adjacent to the display reads a sign: "Metro Gun Share Program."

The exhibit itself is reportedly called "Chicago Gun Share Program," and will be available to visit in Chicago's Daley Plaza through May 16. It was put together by two organizations: The Escape Pod, a Chicago-based advertising group, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, an organization that aims to "create a safer America by cutting gun deaths in half by 2025."

Max Samis, Brady Campaign press secretary, explained to CNN that the goal of the exhibit is to "raise awareness about this important issue." Samis went on to say: "We're hoping the Chicago community can take advantage of this ... and learn how simple it is for a civilian to obtain a weapon of war." Vinny Warren, The Escape Pod executive creative director, also pointed out that "this issue is especially relevant to our hometown of Chicago, which has suffered more than most from the plague of gun violence."

The art installation raises several important points regarding the ease with which Americans can purchase guns. Business Insider reported that, while gun laws vary state by state, there are some places where it takes less than ten minutes to purchase a gun. For example, a reporter with the Philly Inquirer, was able to purchase an AR-15 in seven minutes, according to her column written in June 2016. And, as Business Insider notes, 33 states allow private sellers to sell guns without any type of background checks.

Shannon Watts, activist and founder of Moms Demand Action, addressed the art installation online, responding to NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch who suggested that the exhibit doesn't reflect reality. "You actually have to create an account to rent a city bike that includes personal info, a valid ID, and a credit card number in case you don’t return the bike," Watts wrote, adding: "To buy a semiautomatic rifle in 30 states, you only need cash and an ID." To her point, there are several things in America that are much harder to acquire than a gun.

In addition to spreading information, the "Chicago Gun Share Program" exhibit urges its visitors to make a donation to the Brady Campaign, which continues to advocate for stronger background checks, extreme-protection laws, and the banning of assault weapons. As Samis explained to CNN: "We're grateful that this will raise awareness of this important issue and support our efforts to enact gun safety reforms."
