No matter what your stand on gun laws, this editorial illustration is appropriate, civil, and respectful. No one condones gun violence.^On an ironic note, after doing a five minute segment on the shooting, including conversations with people who talked about the shooter playing online first person shooter games on a large screen tv, the newscaster said the following -“And on a lighter note, gamers are excited about the release of Grand Theft Auto V.”Yeah….right.disgustedly,C.
Hmmm, Molon and others, about that Bank of America robbery standoff between the “bad guys” and police in Los Angeles, where the robbers had the police outgunned for quite some time They had “assault” rifles, on full automatic, helmets, and body armor! So, there indeed have been crimes since ’34 committed with full auto weapons. You might also want to check on some “gang banger” drive-bys and other shootings around this country that take place on a regular basis. Granted, those have been with Un licensed automatic weapons, and a bunch that were purchases as semi-autos, and converted quite easily.

Steve: thanks for a respectful ’toon.
Automatic weapons are NOT “illegal”, they just require a tax and license. My nephew owns TWO fully automatic weapons!!

What the hell do you expect!? We haven’t done ANYthing to stop this kind of violence. Of course it’s going to happen again and again and again…
