Wow, a Bok cartoon that speaks truth. Now what are we going to do about it? Tougher red flag laws? No parental signature without full parental responsibility? Limited to .22 for target or varmit shooting?
Red Flag laws and focusing on mental illness won’t solve this. They are a panacea. The gun rights people have beaten it into our heads, a bad guy will always find a way to get a gun and do bad things. As for mental illness, are we going to lock up all the crazy people? This is America the land of individual freedom. We have to do something else.
I have said it repeatedly the little monster should have been in the NICS database. He had a record of making on and off line threats, cops had been called on him several times and he had been referred for mental evaluation. So many red flags. How about we actually use and enforce the gun laws already on the books. Instead of defunding the police, add funds to establish a domestic violence response team to investigate reports of threats and violence by little demons such as in this case. If Arrest, lock up and charge the father as an accessory to murder as he knew darn well how dangerous his son would be with a gun.
I’m prepared , I have a stone axe head (very sharp at both ends) on my night stand within arms reach, with which to bash in the head of anyone who tries to attack me while I’m asleep. I feel very safe.
Look at what one homemade gun can do in Japan! They had one firearms death last year 1 now they have a dead former PM. Crazy is crazy what will Japan outlaw next..pipes?
Either Chip Bok had a rational brain implanted to replace his (clearly defective) conservative one before drawing this ‘toon, or somebody has him locked away somewhere and a rational replacement ‘toon creator is working here using Bok’s name.
Funny that people could buy firearms by mail and we didn’t have this problem. Maybe it’s NOT the guns. Maybe it’s something trickier to address.
It’s also telling that you would abrogate Rights that pre-date the Constitution because a tiny fraction of evil-minded people misuse them. There are a few dictatorships around the world that might be more your cup of tea.

Even a stronger case than the one in Michigan where the parents are still in jail

Simple; If a parent signs off on a gun sale of someone under 21, and the kid commits a crime, the PARENT spends the SAME TIME IN PRISON AS THE KID!

Gun violence advocates, like those commenting above demand weak laws and weak enforcement.
.
Is Bok dropping out of their ranks?
Is Bok ready for real laws and real enforcement?

Add my name to the list of those colored “amazed” that Bok got something right AND correct.

Whatever has happened, I hope it is permanent.
