I’ve shared several satirical signs, posters, videos, and bumper stickers on the topic of gun control, but surprisingly few political cartoons.
If my aging memory is correct, I’ve only posted a couple of Chuck Asay cartoons on concealed carry (here and here) and one Steve Kelley cartoon mocking the leftist tendency to focus on inanimate objects when a bad guy uses a gun.
So it’s time to correct this oversight.
Let’s start with this comparison of liberals and conservatives. As you can see, it’s sort of what you get when you mix this joke with this poster.
No wonder liberals and conservatives are contemplating divorce.
And with Obama proposing a bunch of executive orders on guns, this Scott Stantis cartoon is very timely.
After all, who cares about the Constitution and the democratic process!
And here’s a cartoon with the same theme found in this poster.
Now let’s shift to a couple of cartoons that look at causes of death, starting with one from Michael Ramirez that shows that so-called “assault rifles” are a statistical asterisk (and no more dangerous than other types of guns).
And here’s a specific comparison for 2011. Obviously we need hammer control.
While all these cartoons are amusing, the attack on our Second Amendment rights is not funny.
In my poll on protecting the right to keep and bear arms, a plurality of respondents said the Second Amendment was worth preserving so people had some ability to resist tyranny.
I personally think that the risk of societal breakdown is a more pressing concern, as I explained in this interview on NRA TV.
But all that really matters is that we all agree that freedom is worth defending. So let’s close with this inspirational powerpoint presentation on the Second Amendment.
[…] error by mocking leftists who have personal (and well-armed) security guards. Gee, I wonder if we might have an example of such a […]
If you were consistent, you would want to outlaw cars (killing machines on wheels) but saving lives is not your goal. Protecting rapists, murders, terrorists and tyrannical government enforcers is something you feel is a worthwhile cause. Stop being anti-woman, stop thinking about your own selfishness for just one second, and support a woman’s right to chose a gun for protection and law abiding citizens, overall, the right to defend themselves.
Wait, 10k+ deaths per year from drunk driving? Isn’t drunk driving illegal? Maybe we should make it legal so that everyone can drive drunk and defend themselves against other drunk drivers.

In our high tech society, there is no better way to express a message than graphically. So I suggest that viewing the YouTube video of The Battle of Athens will be instructive of the real reason for our 2nd Amendment. Also, take your children to watch The Hunger Games and focus on the living conditions and the loss of familial control of the rights of the individual members of a given family subjected to tyranny. Yes, the movie stimulated archery interests among girls, but should also stimulate a strong feeling of resistance to a Progressive minded leader that wants to take our personal means of self protection away from us. There is also a great explanation by Dr. Thomas Sowell for the reason of having as many bullets in a magazine as possible when confronted by multiple assailants in the home. Everyone misses when shooting and if you limit the ammo, you may lose your life, after running out.

My dear fellow Gun Nutters™.
Today I have some good news for y’all! Just stop ‘n think about this for one darn cotton picking minute, if’n ya will…
Even if the friggin skaredycat libtards out there take way our guns, we Gun Nutters™ will still have access to hammers, which our good friends at the NRA sez are responsible for more deaths in the US than sum guns! (So that means they must be purty awesome weapons, rite?)
Matta o’ fact, did y’all know that even as I write this here letter ta y’all there are hundreds o’ thousands, probably even millions, o’ semiautomatic hammers available in this great nayshun o’ ours? Oh sure, they don’t call em that, they call em “nail guns”. Sounds harmless, rite? But don’t be fooled, these so-called nail guns are really semiautomatic hammers (‘n with the rite knowhow ‘n a little bit a tinkering could even be converted to fully automatic hammers).
And while so far there have only been a few fatalities from semiautomatic hammers, it is a fact that across the nayshun some 37,000 people have to go to to hospital emergency rooms each year due to serious injuries from these (potenshilly) lethal weapons.
And y’all should check this one out rite quicklike; ya can own as many o’ these semiautomatic hammers as y’all want!
All ya have to do’s go down to yer local hardware store where’n they‘s freely sold over the counter ‘n ya can buy one on the spot, no kwestyuns asked or background check rekwired. (I ask y’all, “How awesome is that?”)
And so I say to all ma feller Gun Nutter™ friends, I sez, “If’n thay take our semiautomatic rifles way frum us don’t worry bout it, we’ll still have our semiautomatic hammers ‘n I know tha tha friggin libtard carpenter’s unions will see ta it that we nevah lose those”.
Anyways, hope this here news helps ease any anxiety y’all might be havin bout losin the luv of yer lives, sose y’all can rest easy now ‘n have a good day.
Cheers!
In My Humble Opinion:
As Obuma’s dream of destroying the rich and productive in America comes to fruition societal breakdown will necessarily ensue.
The Gov’t will have it’s hands full if they don’t take away the guns from us serfs.
Dan – You are doing a magnificent job of outlining the truth about the Obama administration and Obama himself. We are in for a tough four more years of his socialistic decrees and damage to our freedoms, liberty, property and economy. Thanks for your efforts, keep it up, God bless!

Good commentary on the politics and the irony and hypocrisy of the gun control debate.
