Yes, we get it Ruben. You don’t like guns. You don’t understand guns. You don’t understand how they are used, defensively, thousands of times a year (many more times than they are used to wrongly kill someone.) You don’t understand how guns provide the one real deterrent against a potential police state and how the second amendment is intended to make sure that the people always have the means to overthrow the government, by force, if necessary. The one thing this cartoon does get right is that the answer is more guns in the hands of good citizens. We know Ruben was intending irony and farce, but just because there are many who wrongly fear good people being armed, the problem lies with those who decide that all must have their rights removed or restricted because of the actions of a few.
