Mike Luckovich: What I learned in school.

1. Perhaps the most meaningful Luckovich

cartoon ever.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. So agree.

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. I think you are right.

Incredibly pointed!

[Gothmog]

2. Great cartoon

[BigmanPigman]

3. But they sent their Thoughts and Prayers...what more could you want?

The gun rights organization spent a stupendous $54.4 million in the 2016 election cycle, almost all of it in "independent expenditures," meaning spending for or against a candidate but not a direct contribution to a campaign. The money went almost entirely to Republicans to a degree that almost looks like a misprint (but isn't): Of independent expenditures totaling $52.6 million, Democrats received $265. Yes, that's 265 dollars.

21. Shit - I wouldn't want their money!

[ploppy]

4. It's so sad

but true.

[Stuart G]

5. Yes, you are correct...because the money allows that cartoon to happen..

It is all about keeping the "gun laws" as lenient as possible. Protect gun owners. Make buying a gun as easy as possible. What happens after that, means nothing to the NRA

[Fritz Walter]

7. Well done, kpete!

Help us to stay focused!
Because there are -- and will continue to be -- many distractions from others, against the heart of this particular issue.

Get. Out. The. Vote.
Our children's lives depend on it!

[kpete]

13. FOCUS EVERYONE:

Get. Out. The. Vote.
Our children's lives depend on it!


thanks Fritz Walter for reminding us all
at this point, it is the only way OUT.

[Nevernose]

14. Not enough to GOTV

We need to vote, get everyone else to vote, and make sure that our politicians know WHY we’re voting for them — and that we will punish them at the ballot box if they don’t get off their cowardly asses and do more.

We also need to write, call, email, and show up in person, just to talk about gun safety. One issue. I used to say we need to do this when there aren’t any mass shootings, because gun safety issues tend to die down a few weeks later, except now there are too many mass shootings to ever get it out of the mainstream consciousness.

And we need to talk about more than mass shootings. Suicide and homicide disproportionately affect communities of color and poor families. They’re not as “scary” as the CNN televised mass slaughters, but they’re just as devastating to the families involved and there are far more of them.

8. NRA would rather have dead children than any gun control.

NRA would rather have dead children than any gun control.

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

[Auntie Bush]

9. Perfect cartoon! Shows it like it is!

[MoonRiver]

10. If only this were just a cartoon.

[Pepsidog]

11. Wow says it all

[Wounded Bear]

12. Chilling...

because of the truth behind it.

[DesertRat]

15. k&r

[Scurrilous]

17. K&R

[WiffenPoof]

18. Wow

Just wow.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Exactly!

Best political cartoon in decades!

[bigbrother05]

20. New NRA leader was guilty of illegally supplying guns to hostile forces

So he has proven on-the-job experience for his new position

Lyin' Ollie North, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

Making America Great since Iran-Contra and back for more Greatness

22. Thanks for sharing.

Spot on.
