I think the banners knew their outlook was doomed years ago; now, it's just the sport of culture war that far exceeds any claim of compassion in terms of personal satisfaction. Be glad to help out with any other questions, okay?

BTW, rumor has it the NRA actually pays royalties to cartoonists like this one, to reprint in their own publications. Seems counter intuitive. At first.

Any gun control bill should come with a rider to include knives & other sharp-edged instruments. Just sayin'.

Something is working since the homicide rate has been dropping over the last 20 yrs. That's the "accounting" I like to see.

I don't know what more you could do. Maybe it's time to start allowing gun background checks access to health records? There are a lot of HIPPA issues with this and we would need to probably change our whole medical privacy stance

of what children look like after they've been murdered by guns, if those pictures were released, then maybe people would finally begin to understand what gun violence looks like.

The problem with movies and TV is not merely that the actors aren't really killed and get to play another role in the next movie or the next show, but what people who have been murdered by guns really look like is nothing at all like the calm and peaceful corpses shown on TV or in the movies.

Everyone should see what it really looks like.
