The number of left wingers on this forum is impressive. As if your words will actually make a difference to Lester, influence his character, and change his art.
I hate to break it to our head-in-the-sand liberals on this site, but our society (in fact, most modern societies) require a concept called voluntary compliance with the law. The police, government, military, et al are not large nor pervasive enough to monitor every moment of every day of every person in the country. Thus, normal society requires that people voluntarily obey laws of their own volition. Hence the term, voluntary compliance with the law.You know who doesn’t follow the law? A criminal. In fact, one of the synonyms for “criminal” is “lawbreaker.” So, riddle me this liberals: If they are breaking existing firearm laws — not to mention committing murder, how will passing new, more restrictive laws get them to comply with the law? Your desires are well-meaning, but completely impractical and will only service to harm the citizenry of this country. After all, if you ban the carbine-style rifles (because there is no such thing as an “assault weapon,” just like they cannot fire 700 rounds per minute), who will you be taking them away from? The criminals? Or those people who wish to protect themselves from the criminals? Because in a place I like to call the “real world,” the criminals will still not obey the law. They will still get their hands on them through various sources and channels. Also, wm, I couldn’t let this one pass by. EVERY firearm in existence is a weapon of war; From lever action to revolvers to AR-15-esque rifles… they have all seen war. Even ball muskets are weapons of war. Being a weapon of war simply means they have been battle tested and are reliable in the field. Stop perpetuating a strawman because you are similar to Kuntzman.
Are the parties so self-absorbed that they can’t take a break from extreme polarization to work out a compromise that will make Americans feel safe from an irresponsible persons getting a military style weapons and protect the rights of people who feel insecure without a gun?Exactly who is behind this extreme polarization?And why?
Are you forgetting that MY right to live ( and that of every other person ) is more important than your right to own a gun? Plus, it may disturb your thought process, but not every liberal supports abortion.
Apparently, the Republicans want a soldier of Allah to wield an assault weapon in the name of Baghdadi. You not guilty by association (fourth amendment for those who only care about the second) so it is legal to swear allegiance to ISIS and we make sure it is legal to obtain an assault rifle for maximum kills.
By not signing on to sensible gun background checks, it’s repuglies and and the NRA who are allowing TERRORISTS to buy whatever Weapons of Mass Destruction they want. What part of that don’t you dumbasses understand?

Couldn’t happen in Texas – Where they regulate dildos, but not guns!

It’s not an either/or proposition. The binary mentality of some cartoonists on this site is worrisome.

You foolish right wingers really want domestic terrorists to have free access to assault rifles? Do you not care about human life at all?

I wonder what the founding fathers would think if they walked into a gun store or gun show? This is a regulated militia?

Interesting. 4 gun control bills voted down by the senate – two authored by democrats, two by republicans. None had the name “Obama”.
