Man, all this talk about terrorism sure is making it easy to sidestep the conversation away from lingering homophobia and woefully deficient checks and balances on legal gun ownership huh.

Please stop politicizing this tragedy and help me implement this muslim surveillance law.

So is Branco just completely unaware that Mateen was born in NYC and is not a foreign invader of any type whatsoever, and that More Gun Control would therefore have stopped him from doing anything (esp since he had already been investigated by the FBI and was on watchlists etc) or is this just an especially impressive display of willful density

Um, excuse me, was Mateen white? I think you'll find that nooo, he wasn't. Ergo immigrant, ergo terrorist.

Actually, as he was only first generation American, the line is that he was an anchor baby.

This deserves credit for sheer tone-deafness and incongruity. It's a form of absurdist humor built on a tragedy. Impressive level of callousness at work, here, bravo.


I'm the white outlines on the black stars because the cartoonist either doesn't know how to use the fill tool, or used MS Paint to make this.

Without getting into I/P chat and speaking from a purely numbers perspective: Israel has really strong gun control, and as a result, the recent violent streak (violence from non state actors that is) has been mostly stabbings, with relatively few killed.
