My god given right to kill in front of my toddler shall not be infringed. She MUST see me snuff the life out of someone by riddling their blood-soaked corpse with hundreds of bullets.

Also she goes deaf in this scenario, but that's a small price to pay for getting to kill someone in front of her

I like how even using the example of home invasion the "protagonist" is wielding some kind of high capacity rifle that you'd use to defend a loving embassy or something.

What you think I bought this gun that cost as much as a car and made my children subsist on substandard food to make up the cost to my paycheck so it could NOT be used to murder people? What's wrong with you sir!?

The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

Okay so about that gun comic. Ignoring the lack of spent rounds, bullet holes or blood splatter, the way the corpse is posed suggests the intruder didn't see Dad with his M-16* before he was shot dead.

So, did Dad shoot this guy before he even walked into his daughters bedroom? Because that seems like it was Oskar Pistorious explanation as to why he shot his girlfriend dead.


* = That doesn't have a handle or a trigger. Maybe it's powered by psychic energy? That would be safer than a normal gun.

It’s never happened. In fact a large number of illegal guns out there are from home burglars stealing them from the houses of people like McCoy and the only thing having a gun in your house has been proven to do is drastically increase your chance of death by gun.

It’s a fantasy up there for arm chair warriors with the heroic man stopping a mass shooter with their concealed carry penis compensator

Also in that dumbass comic the guy has his off safety gun’s muzzle pointed downward at his daughter in the bed with poor trigger discipline:laffo:

The best part is it does have a trigger, it's just...up where the firing pin area would be? The gun looks like this, as far as I can tell:

Unless I'm mistaken - eight of the ten worst mass shootings in the states happened under Republican presidents. FOUR of these were under Trump.

Not that this particularly means anything but it kind of defeats the entire crux of the argument.

Aussie liberals are conservatives, right?
Australian federal parties: Liberals are conservative, Nationals are regional, Greens are red, One Nation is divisive, Centre Alliance are splitters, Labor doesn't work.

Actual answer: The Australian Liberals used to be economic liberals, which decades ago used to include other more liberal policies e.g. Liberal PM Malcolm Fraser was welcoming to Vietnamese refugees in the seventies. Under Howard the conservative factions of the party asserted control, to the point where Fraser quit the party in disgust, and after the whole Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison faction wars they are in full dominance. Their coalition partners the Nationals are even worse, just full on fighting the culture wars at this point.

The Aussie equivalent to "liberals, liberals, liberals!" is complaining about greenies, you can see this in a lot of the right-wing cartoons in particular Spooner. Combined with the culture war bullshit it explains why our climate change response is so atrocious even by world standards.

As I recall The Sun dropped their last political cartoons in 2013. The Mirror occasionally uses specific cartoons, but I don't think they've ever had a regular on staff; I'm not sure why not. Maybe they feel the whole concept is just a bit too posh, and cartoons should just be mindless fun? Their daily cartoon The Perishers was sometimes indirectly political, but that was a long time ago.

Yeah, a lot of Asay's cartoons require you to have the same bigotries he does in order to understand that you're supposed to be horrified. Like that one just posted with the couples, if you didn't realize you're supposed to automatically be horrified, you might come away thinking "yes, these are both equally equipped to take care of children and it's just fine." Especially since in the couple on the right, the baby holder is actually looking at and engaging with the baby.
