Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Ramirez combines an encyclopedic knowledge of the news with a captivating drawing style to create consistently outstanding editorial cartoons.
"Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions and deep emotions. Editorial cartoons should be the catalyst for thought, and frankly speaking, if you can make politicians think, that is an accomplishment in itself."

Mike: we got restrictions on drinking, driving, jaywalking, smoking in public places, going to work with the flu, on and on. That’s the price of living together. I think the big boys in yer audience can handle life without firing 50 rounds a minute in school yards, movie theaters and the local shopping mall.

Then why is the NRA to blame when it’s a psycho that stole his mom’s gun?

And there are already laws on the books for that. But what of NY passing a law saying you can only have 7 bullets in your gun? Even if you are a cop? Or how about the phony “assault weapon” ban. Tell me how banning a pistol grip would stop a “big boy” from shooting at a mall?

Hey conelly, “Big Boys” don’t take guns to school yards, movie theaters or local shopping malls. I guess statistics are just too much for the gimmies in America. I bet you live comfortably behind a gated community and have an armed guard protecting your office every day. Remember, NO ONE should have a gun (unless he’s protecting me and mine), right?

First thing to do to save kids is BAN “Gun Free Zones” ….They are nothing more than a flashing red arrow to Wackos

Only EIGHTEEN mass shootings with an assault rifle?!
.
What were we thinking?! That’s NOTHING!

IMHO we should tax the crap out of guns, require background checks for ALL guns sold at gun shows, restore funding for mental health treatment and increase the number of school nurses educated in psychiatric assessment

It’s suddenly clear to me! Remove all hands and feet! There will be no more driving (drunk or otherwise), no more handling guns, hammers, knives, screwdrivers, etc., and no more punchings or beetings! How obvious and simple the solution is! Thank you, Ramirez, for showing us the light!

Sorry but changing our society would be more effective in the long term by giving children back something called fathers. Harder but much more effective.

I’m surprised people don’t get this. If people don’t have guns, arguments and psychotic states of mind don’t become lethal, and even if they do (like with knives and fists) less people die. If you have good guys with guns shooting bad guys with guns, other good guys (and kids) die in the crossfire. Guns are bad, period.

It’s time to put the blame on the INDIVIDUAL and not the objects.

You have deaths by guns totaling less than 7,000. Where are the other 5,000? Please try to keep your facts straight. More NRA propaganda.

Ramirez is using FACTUAL NUMBERS to inform clueless Americans who view cartoons….to prove that a crusade against gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment is not in need of federal infringement!
-
Fact, also, is that Criminals with murder in mind do not care about Laws and they don’t care about the Right to Life and Liberty for all other Law-abiding citizens. Criminals only care about Laws after they are arrested and charged with crime.
-
Obama/Biden have opened a crusade against law-abiding gun owners…..hidden in the 23 Executive Orders is a new inroad into forcing physicians to spy on law-abiding patients and their households, without reason and violating privacy rights of Americans. No doubt Obama’s regime plans to prosecute Doctors if they havn’t reported patients to the Feds, with info of what guns they own, where they keep them, names and addresses for a Federal List for future confiscation.
-
Egads! Do you Obama voters really want an American repeat of Stalin…Mao…Fidel….with using children as a cover to subvert citizens’ rights?

So, why don’t we put the same restrictions and stigmas on guns that we put on drunk driving in the 70s? You know, when the drunk driving rate was 3 times what it is today. Just because something isn’t 100% effective doesn’t mean it’s 100% ineffective. Also, you have the right to own guns; it doesn’t mean they can’t be a pain in the ass to acquire.

@wmconelly
So, we also already have laws about guns in schools, theaters and shopping malls. The laws did not prevent the incidents, neither do all the other rules and regs You mention prevent people from doing them and other innocent people being hurt by them. Do you see the trend here?
Laws do not stop those that will disregard them.
The NRA is the leader in advocacy of gun safety, responsible ownership and training concerning those things.
