The Wrong Side of History

Attitudes towards things we thought...













The Wrong Side of History



Attitudes towards things we thought would never change suddenly did. I want guns to be next.



The great tragedy of our time is that somewhere along the way guns got associated with “freedom” and then more and more guns got associated with “more and more freedom”.



The “guns are just an inanimate object!” crowd are the very ones who refuse to treat it as such: an inanimate object that people can use to inflict great harm, the purchase of which ought to be much more well regulated.

“Open carry” activists I think achieve the opposite effect from what they’re going for, they don’t make people feel safe around guns, they reveal how batshit insane our gun culture is



How are cops different? What if those open carriers are cops? We have a right, deal with it.



nah.


Oh right, you just wanna spout bullshit with no real argument. Got it.



Wait, are we arguing? Is your “argument” that I shouldn’t think it’s batshit insane for people to walk around with rifles because “cops”? I should feel safe around people with guns because “deal with it”?


Criminals don’t open carry, and if they did they would be pretty stupid. Law abiding citizens, you know, the ones that DON’T commit crimes, open carry. I didn’t think I would need to explain that, but people like yourself don’t understand logic, so it needs to be explained carefully enough.



lol, I love men who go around the interent barking “logic!” at strangers, as if their whole entire gun thing wasn’t 100% an emotional issue.

A horrible thing has happened, and the same old tired arguments about why we can’t do a thing about it are trotted right back out.



We’re the country that pours more and more unregulated military grade weaponry into the hands of our citizens, and then we’re the country that experiences bloodier and bloodier mass shootings, and then we’re the country that has the dopey debate about whether the two are correlated.

New Jersey Democrats - read the full strip HERE



An excerpt from a comic about a fundraiser event I attended over the Summer for New Jersey gubernatorial hopeful, Phil Murphy, about the current state of mind Democrats find themselves in, and what the point of political parties might even be at all.
