Tigger is wrong again, as he almost universally is. The cartoon is a reference to a “sting” where newspaper reporters went to gun shows in Arizona and bought Glocks and assault rifles with cash, even after telling the seller that they wouldn’t pass a background check. All perfectly legal, of course, and exactly how Mexican drug gangs and criminals in cities get their weapons. Fear of the NRA keeps the loophole from being closed, and people die directly as a result.
