It is not in fact a good Rall. In fact the power to change this does lie with the US legislature, and the executive branch has been doing everything in its power to address the issue, including rulemakings and applying public pressure on the legislature, which is the very action that Rall is mocking. It's the same as always, fact-free misdirection intended to induce cynical detachment.

China Daily by Cai Meng Another "article" that repurposes previous comics, some we haven't seen: quote:
Le Monde  by Emad Hajjaj from Jordan Charlie Hebdo  Balkany has lost weight "I can't keep my chains nor electronic bracelet on." Balkany is/was a very corrupt mayor of a Parisian suburb, to put it mildly.

 Most cartoons are about the new Coalition leaders: Peter Dutton replaces Morrison unopposed as leader of the Liberal party (and opposition leader), Sussan Ley is the Liberal deputy. David Littleproud topples Barnaby Joyce in a party vote to become leader of the Nationals. Rowe:  Knight:  Warren Brown:  Lethbridge:  Wilcox:  Pope:  Canberra Liberals take stock as Zed Seselja faces losing ACT Senate seat to independent David Pocock (ABC). David Pocock is a former rugby player who played openside flanker. The ACT only has two senators picked through preferential voting which as a system has solidly delivered one Labor, one Liberal; so an independent managing to take one of the seats is a big deal.

Australian unionist cartoonist Sam Wallman has a book out, "Our Members Be Unlimited" https://scribepublications.com.au/books-authors/books/our-members-be-unlimited-9781925713053 quote:In our current political climate, people are looking for answers — and alternatives. The promise of unions is that their ‘members be unlimited’: that they don’t belong to the rich, the powerful, or special interests, but to all workers. The Guardian's published a sample of 20 pages https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/may/31/pissing-while-walking-is-tricky-inside-an-amazon-warehouse-a-cartoonist-starts-a-union

gently caress I always knew that comic artists are spineless slimeballs but how do you churn out cartoons about the Uvalde mass shooting and the veterans day right after another and don't feel the emotional whiplash you're providing  Catching up after the weekend is always a trip, but seeing cartoons about children shot in a classroom right next to images of cemetaries with an american flag and the words "thank you" in one morning is loving wild for me let me tell ya. Especially since it took me like 4 of them to realize that it's a national holiday for you guys in US and not cartoonists suddenly shifting to thanking the dead children for dying in a mass shooting so they can have freedom.

It's still around, as far as I know. Answers in Genesis still exists as a group, at least; I'd have to do some more research to understand how the talking points may have shifted/faded.

ID tries to be as vague as possible when it comes to what the "designer" is and argues that it could be anything. To the fervent believer this is wishy-washy bullshit. If you mean God say God.

Honestly what is the conservative solution to mass shootings if they're correct and it is a cultural problem/desensitization/violence culture? How do you fix that? Ban violent media? Forced morality/religious indoctrination? Do they want to spend more on mental health care? Obviously no to the last one. I never hear a feasible answer to how you rewire an entire society if that is truly the problem and not guns.

Theocracy. Their endgame has always been an authoritarian theocracy. Whenever republican solutions turn out to not work, the answer will be that you just didn't indoctrinate or oppress hard enough.

For reference, Colossians 1:16 says that God made everything and Isaiah 45:18 says that God made everything (and there are no other Gods). Those same sentiments are also in a hundred other places in the bible, so he could have just written "See: Bible" at the bottom, but that would rely on him or any of his audience having actually read the bible and that's obviously not going to happen

It's not intended to have any solution, not even religious theocracy; efforts at trying to tie it to overt related policy pushes tend not to function. There's no real coherency in play, it's just deflection from gun regulation.

I guess there's the "armed guards in every school" or "give teachers guns" suggestion but that doesn't really fit the feasibility requirement. Metal detectors won't do poo poo, limiting the building to one entrance wouldn't either. Neither of these would have stopped the most recent school shooting.
