1. "Second-half-of-the-Second-Amendment"

Another classic Tom Tomorrow. Captures the bullshit arguments of the gun culture perfectly.

Boy, that "not even qualified" remark is so on the money. I get so sick of the gunsplaining.

10. right, it's like you can hear the hectoring basement dweller who REALLY knows about guns

13. I'd bet money that Tom Tomorrow uses DU gun threads as a source. (nt)

[longship]

7. We're going to get the guns.

If only!

8. Gun fetishists don't even have the good sense to shut up after mass murders-by-gun.

Instead they see these as an opportunity to post their gun porn and bizarre fantasies of "self-defense."

Gun love is disgusting.

11. Kick and rec

[Towlie]

12. The argument in the third panel is known as "The Courtier's Reply."

15. Fancy term for a pro-gun essential. Thanks for the information.

And pro-control folks: do not be fooled by this tactic. The pro-gun types constantly use it as a means of shutting down meaningful debates on gun policy, because they've got very little else in the way of meaningful support for their positions.

17. My response to that tactic...

is this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7916489 - DUer Bucky's righteous post "Dear pedantic shits saying it's a Sig Sauer MCX, not an AR-15, and not an assault rifle: FUCK YOU"
