   Free, fire, and kill were the only 4 letter words used by the NRA. Very disappointing.

   Extremity is the road to absurdity.

   I’m sure that when their NRA realizes absolute free speech is actually leading to needless deaths, they will see the wisdom of sane regulation. How could they do otherwise?

   Brilliant comic btw.

   There is a movie based on the concept of an alternate Earth exactly opposite us.

   Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) worked in the Cold War. It should work on American streets too, right?

   “Journey to the Far Side of the Sun” from 1969. In the movie, though, everyone on both Earths seems to be British, so the premise doesn’t seem very believable.

    The NRA hasn’t represented gun owners for decades. It just represents arms manufacturers, whose only interest is selling as many weapons as possible.

    Lapierre had a perfectly workable solution to the problem of gun violence in schools. Just put in enough armed guards to handle the situation. I estimate the average school would require about 10 armed guards to cover all of the doors.And, obviously, just covering schools is inadequate. We would also need them in malls, skating rinks, movies, anywhere that more than ten people were likely to gather.Where would we get the money to pay them? No problem, just tax each sale of weapons or ammunition enough to cover their salaries. That wouldn’t just cut down considerably on the sale of guns, it would be a big help in finding work for returning vets.

    If you’re wondering if I’m serious or this is satire— frankly so am I.

    Let’s give them Idaho and be done with it.

    Ticks? The small minded, blood sucking inhabitants of the woods? We got a lotta guns out here too. Best life, EVER.

    I feel sorry for the people that live in the city; too many rats a cage….

    I love these ‘counter earth’ stories. One of the best way of illustrating an accepted absurdity by taking another angle and playing it the same way. Like this cartoon obviously did.
