1. Great cartoon

2. Where are the outraged cries from the DU Gun advocacy Group? n/t

[CTyankee]

4. I was interested in reading what they had to say but I couldn't find them since I deleted them

from appearing on my DU. I wanted them forever banned from my sight (I lost a niece to gun violence so it's personal with me).

I guess there's no way I could get them back, just temporarily...

[n2doc]

7. One way is to log out and then browse DU as a non-member

You have to deal with the ads but everybody appears.

8. thanks.

30. I am sorry about your niece

[CTyankee]

37. thank you. these school shootings bring back that memory...

At her funeral my brother collapsed at her coffin. He was never the same and died a few years after. my other niece who was supposed to accompany her sister backed out at the last minute. Her guilt was keenly felt. She changed her first name and decided to go into the ministry. She and her husband are co-pastors of a Methodist church in North Carolina.

I will say this. My niece's death was caused by anger, fueled by alcohol and the accessability of a loaded handgun her stepgrandfather kept, loaded, in a nightstand, ready to shoot any intruder.

This happened in Dallas.

[mr_lebowski]

28. I dunno ... that looks like Ron Jeremy ...

[NickB79]

29. Hey, you got it!

I was afraid I'd have to explain it.

[mr_lebowski]

33. Lol ... n/p ... but you may still have to ...

5. I guess this applies to my cousin's husband

Not sure about the tiny penis but he's not tall.

6. Says it all.

10. Ya know, if we passed a law that all hand held weapons had to be pink....

with unicorns on the stock...

[Hoyt]

14. Now that's funny.

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. and made an unmanly sound when fired...

trying to think of one that would work...

[Hoyt]

19. I can't stop laughing. Pink gun and a wimpy sound. If only Congress had a sense of humor and wanted

to cool down gun purchases, that would do it.

You are on a roll today.

13. Gun marketeers recognized that long ago, and it didn't take much market research.

Remember the ad for Bushmaster, the rifle used at Sandy Hook? It nailed it:

15. Honestly, the fact that so many of us want to believe this ...

says more about us than it does about them.

I just hope that all the young & impressionable men with smaller than average penises, liberal and conservative alike, don't internalize this nasty streak in our culture and allow it to make them feel "lesser than" men who are differently endowed.

[johnpowdy]

17. ABSOLUTELY AGREE....how can we say we stand up for victims yet shame the size

of someone's genitalia which they have no control over? This is beneath us

[johnpowdy]

16. Can we stop with the small penis shaming?

AR15s are horrible....atrocious...but lets take the high road please

[Hoyt]

22. Why? Gun-humpers call us gun-grabbers, snowflakes, liberal wusses, commies, and worse.

[johnpowdy]

24. I disagree

[Hoyt]

25. I seriously appreciate your patience with what I consider deplorables. I get what you are saying,

and you may be 100% correct. But I've been dealing with these losers for too long to coddle them -- or play nice with them -- anymore.

23. How is this supposed to make me feel?

I've never owned a gun in my life, and I refuse to even associate with those who do. I feel physically nauseated around them, and I've done everything I can in my life to fight back against the terrorists in the NRA. I also have an very small penis. Before anyone trys to reassure me with the standard comments, no, it really is small. Like, to the point of uselessness. I've tried. This fact has caused me severe mental anguish, and has sabotaged my every effort to find love and a fulfilling relationship. I recently began taking prescription meds to deal with the crippling depression and near-suicidal thoughts, and things have improved somewhat. As a man who is too small to ever have a fulfilling sex life, what's the take away for me here? This is clearly meant to insult based on a physical characteristic that no man has control over, and clearly paints that deficiency as something to be used against someone. I mean shit, what's the message? Why are so many people so willing to use a very real and personally crippling deficiency as a cudgel?

[johnpowdy]

26. Thank you. I am sorry to hear your story.

I keep hearing the small penis insult. As a man, that is offensive to me. I would NEVER own a gun and think such a thing is disgusting but why is it okay to shame the size of a man's genitalia? Such a thing is a real, crippling issue for many men.

[mr_lebowski]

32. It should be taken much more euphemistically ... it's not LITERALLY about having small genitals

It's about gun owners having insecurities about the perception of their 'manhood' ... it's an unfortunate societal construct that penis size has somehow become associated with 'masculinity' (larger = more of a man) but it is what it is. Obviously there's little or no truth to it and who really gives a shit about their masculinity anyway, it's a dumb and vague and totally subjective 'measure' to begin with, but some men clearly DO anyways.

What this sort of 'insult' is actually meant to convey is that the gun-owner is insecure in their masculinity and penis size is just a stand-in due to convenience and a certain annoyance factor.

[johnpowdy]

34. I see, but perhaps we should target "masculinity" instead of genitalia

Because I can see how making fun of genitalia size could be triggering for some men. Going after masculinity and toxic masculinity is much better in my opinion.

[dawg]

36. Thanks for posting this.

It was brave.

Most people don't realize that approximately 1 out of every 167 men has a penis that is small enough to be designated as a "micro-penis" by medical standards. It's not at all uncommon.

Shockingly, many of those men don't own AR-15's.

39. All I can say, as a woman, is...

... I never orgasm from penetration. It doesn't matter, big or small, about whether I (and the vast majority of women) are going to have a good time in bed (correction for me: too big hurts, so actually too big IS an issue). It's the hands, the mouth, and especially the brain that are the major organs creating the pleasure in lovemaking for us.

And that I am sorry the way you were made is causing you so much depression. It's easy for me to say that it wouldn't mstter to me. But that doesn't mean it doesn't impact you. Hugs.

27. A lot of them think having the gun

immunizes them from being accused of what they fear most; being considered "weak" or "cowardly." It seems for many of the gunners to be about that.

38. Great cartoon
