[Phentex]

[Electric Monk]

30. ...

[madokie]

4. K&R

thanks

[stage left]

5. They're all good, n2doc

but I love the moment of silence one.

[world wide wally]

6. Next time you talk to a 2A freak, remind them that the writers of the Constitution also provided

a vehicle to amend it.

[malaise]

7. Brilliant

but oh so sad

[kecpdx]

8. Not to Nitpick...but Jefferson didn't help write the Constitution.

He was in France (with Sally, btw).

And Hamilton was an ardent Federalist who supported the Constitution sans the Second Amendment (or any of the rest of the BoR).

That said, the I absolutely LOVE the Toon Roundups on DU, so thank you! thank you! thank you, n2doc!!

12. Wasn't it Burr who wanted the duel?

And Hamilton shot up in the air to avoid hitting Burr?

[kecpdx]

21. Well, if you believe Gore Vidal -- Alex had it coming.

And as far as I know, the historical jury is deadlocked on whether or not Hamilton actually did try to delope (miss) with his first shot. Some witnesses thought he was trying to hit Burr right between the eyes.

15. Good catch,

especially since Ben Carson got in hot water last week for making just that claim. You've made the day a little brighter for the people at Monticello.

Welcome to DU.

[kecpdx]

23. Now the good folks at Monticello can go back to filling the halls w/ pharaoh's grain :)

Thanks for the welcome!!

32. MAdison and Jefferson engaged in lengthy correspondence

regarding the Constitution while the latter was in France.

Jefferson definitely had fairly significant input into the final document, as did Benjamin Franklin and others.

33. I remember buying that issue 42 years ago this month.

Was a huge Lampoon fan back in the day.

[KansDem]

35. As was I...

Was a huge Lampoon fan back in the day.

When you're in your late teens/early 20's and the future looks bright, you can afford a little dark humor.

14. Redefining mass shooting

Looking at a map of mass shootings in the US, I notice that most of them have between 4-7 victims. Simply by raising the number of deaths in order to be classified as a mass shooting to, say, 12, we would have a lot less mass shootings, and I expect the NRA to start lobbying Congress for this re-definition immediately.

[alfredo]

17. God point, and welcome to DU

[ChazInAz]

25. I propose a new prize:

The Jonathon Swift Award, to be presented to this poster!

[alfredo]

16. Knr

[dickthegrouch]

18. Can't we send some senators and NRA executives to jail?

As complicit in the murders that are occurring?
The murderers are dead, but the Senate and the NRA are equally culpable in many of our eyes. Especially when they vote down sensible restrictions on no-fly-list members as they did yesterday.
Have the Good Wife examine gun laws, they way they have been abortion recently, and let's PROSECUTE SOMEONE, or at least name them as co-respondents in the wrongful death suits.

20. Love the last one!

And the "shoot this dog" one brought back memories of that cover on National Lampoon.

[Duval]

22. K&R! This endless cycle of gun violence is affecting us all.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. Okay, I'd never have thought of Alexander Hamilton's last words being, "Ow!".

[hedgehog]

26. K&R Thank-you!

[Bucky]

27. Jefferson did not write the Constitution

for that matter, neither did Burr, and Hamilton's contribution to the Bill of Rights was nil

[CrispyQ]

28. Love the rosary.

Bullets, bags of money & a gun held by a slimy politician.

[Electric Monk]

29. Thanks for posting. I've added these to the GCRA Gun Toons collection. k&r
