This is from a photo collection called Suburbia by Bill Owens.

Actual quote accompanying this photo: I don’t feel that Richie playing with guns will have a negative effect on his personality. (He already wants to be a policeman). His childhood gun-playing won't make him into a cop-shooter. By playing with guns he learns to socialize with other children. I find the neighbors who are offended by Richie's gun, either the father hunts or their kids are the first to take Richie's gun and go off and play with it.

My parents had a copy of this when I was growing up and I was very enchanted by it.

Richie’s spent the last 30 years at San Quentin for shooting a cop after he was rejected by every police department in Northern California.
