    “It is too soon.”
    This ‘toon could well relate to many of the other tragedies that we’ve endured. Too soon, no in terms of gun control and mental health availability it’s inexcusably late.

    This is a MENTAL HEALTH issue NOT a gun control issue.

    You’re half right. It’s both.

    You are correct, it’s both. Anyone who thinks he needs an assault rifle with 30 round clips and cop killer bullets has a mental help issue.

    Anyone who thinks that more guns are the solution to gun violence is insane and shouldn’t have guns.

    So as usual, we will pass another law and that will fix everything? No, it’s just the American political tradition of a quick fix that will appease the uproar from the people and do nothing to address the underlying problem…

    No, this time we do it right!
    .
    This time we build in the technological advances that cat as safety devises instead of just the tech advances that make the weapons more dangerous.
    .
    Tis is why it makes me ill to see that we’re talking as if a return to the assault weapons ban is “good enough”.
    .
    No! This time we tear the building down and start to build a new one, from the basement up!
    .
    It can be done! Nothing is impossible! We OWE it to these children to let them save those that would be the next!

    Stupid ’toon. Fewer guns = more carnage. You have to live in a fantasy world to believe that. If you want to see how a society functions when everyone is heavily armed, look at Iraq.

    As to the toon, if I saw this with no past knowledge of the artist, I would not know if he was being sarcastic for the pro gun control side or for the Pro Murderer ers.
    .
    The discussion has been about the meme that the fault lies in the existence of a “Gun Free Zone” so is Lester agreeing with that?
    .
    If so, then this cartoon is dispicable in that the GFZ Meme is a case of balming the victim for the crime and not the criminal. “Dude, you go to school in a Gun Free Zone? You’re just asking to get your six year old head filled with bullets until your own mother wouldn’t recognize you when they come to claim your body!.” Which is no different from "Your honor, i had to rape her! She was wearing this skirt that barely covered her thigh! She was begging me to do it, you know what i mean judge!’
    .
    On the other hand, if he’s being sarcastic for the Pro Gun Control side, then well you failed to make that point clear.

    Your egotism and arrogance totally negates any message you might be trying to impart. In effect screaming at people calling them evil, “murder ers” and the myriad of other insults you heap on people just makes you another judgmental voice with no credibility in the argument. You talk about approving of a cartoonists work as if they have to pass your criteria for credibility. What you fail to realize is people that actually matter in such issues discount you as just another extreme in the argument. I’m sure this falls on deaf ears since you seem so self absorbed you are impervious to any opinion other than your own…

    Cause they don’t make tasteless jokes about killing children.

    The Harvard Injury Control Research Center assessed the literature on guns and homicide and found more guns tend to mean more homicide.
