In Canada last year, the government outlawed ALL handguns. Various groups took the government to court with the verdict being released on Monday, just a couple of days ago.
I think this cartoon is about the investigative style of the current US House of Representatives. Start with the conclusion you want to reach, and work from there.
Ah, Jordan’s hearings to impeach Biden, where one politician spent his whole time for asking questions by shouting allegations and threats at a witness.
This argument resembles two kinds of weed. One flourishes, then fades, and the other fills that same space, then fades. They repeat throughout the year.
There is not now and not likely to ever be an agreement or solution. There is only mourning for those who were either accidentally or deliberately killed and regret for their passing.
There some comics strips, that bring the inane, banal, fatuous and stupid comments from the commenters who come out of the woodwork to type the inane, banal, fatuous and stupid comments, this is one of them…
The states with the highest per capita deaths due to guns (per 100,000 people):Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Wyoming, Alaska, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina. – predominantly MAGA states.
The states with the lowest per capita deaths due to guns (per 100,000 people):Washington, Nebraska, Minnesota, California, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Massachusetts. – predominantly free states.
The average per capita death rate in the top 10 (predominantly MAGA States) is 25.83 per 100,000.
The average per capita death rate in the bottom 10 (predominantly blue States) is 7.20 per 100,000.
You are 3.6 times more likely to be shot to death in a MAGA state than you are in a blue state.
SOME politicians know that gun owners and supporters are a large part of their voter base. Doing the right thing to them is whatever gets them elected or re-elected, period.
So anxious are they to get to their pre-drawn conclusion that it probably hasn’t dawned on them that this precedent will open the door to future “investigations” against anyone or all of them.

The verdict? Look at the cartoon and guess.

Sorry, I’m lost – is the rope supposed to be someone who’s just been hanged? What’s the message from this cartoon … very cryptic.

A lot of cartoonists should team up a scriptwriter so they can concentrate on the artwork and leave the jokes to someone else. Wiley is a good example

This cartoon is somewhat incomprehensible as a cartoon (unusual for Wiley), but it sure is proving to be a good Rorschach test.

By the Numbers:
Myth: Gun deaths are highest in Democratic Areas.
The states with the highest per capita deaths due to guns (per 100,000 people):Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Wyoming, Alaska, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina. – predominantly MAGA states.
The states with the lowest per capita deaths due to guns (per 100,000 people):Washington, Nebraska, Minnesota, California, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Massachusetts. – predominantly free states.
The average per capita death rate in the top 10 (predominantly MAGA States) is 25.83 per 100,000.
The average per capita death rate in the bottom 10 (predominantly blue States) is 7.20 per 100,000.
You are 3.6 times more likely to be shot to death in a MAGA state than you are in a blue state.
Myth busted.
