Gary Varvel for November 01, 2022

That is correct. Next thing we need is common sense kitchen knife control legislation.

What Varvel needs is some common sense.

When you are dealing with Democrats and Liberals, common sense is the first thing that goes out the window.

even the man with the phone thinks this is a stupid cartoon

Ah, come on. Really? What is the kill rate and range difference between a hammer and an “assault-style” fire arm? Hard to wipe out a classroom of children with any handheld weapon. This isn’t even a half-baked commentary or toon. Besides, as reported, on my news sources, the attacker claims he never meant to kill either of the Pelosis, but to maim her so she would be a cripple at public appearances. I’ll sit back now and get ready of the knee-jerk gun love response.

Varvel is equating hammers with AR-15s. Leave it to him and people like Don Jr. to find the humor in slaughter. Wait…

What’s that scraping sound? It’s coming from the bottom of that barrel. Oh. IT’S VARVEL AND HIS FUNNY PALS! AND THEY’RE LOOKING FOR FUNNY MATERIAL!

The claw on the back looks scary and makes it an assault hammer, so those need to be confiscated..

Is this some kind of false equivalence with guns?

Being the pedant I am, I couldn’t resist visiting these two places:

Political cartoonists of all stripes often engage in one or both.

Not a single Democrat has suggested hammer control. You can’t win arguments with those you consider your enemy, so you need to make up enemies.

Why not? Great Britain has it. Same with screwdrivers.
