The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I was more pointing out that there are legal and constitutional hurdles beyond the number of guns, the later of which you are hand waving away under a "the second best time is now" argument and ignoring the former. Especially with the current Supreme Court, we have at least 4 years before further gun control legislation attempts can be made. State and county guns bans and control laws are being struck down as unconstitutional left and right.

I am pro private gun ownership personally and believe in a legal right to self defense, but am not even talking about that. You are vigorously arguing for a pipe dream of seemingly "just make guns illegal, it will work out from there", in the current political climate, while calling people with different opinions Nazis. All those blank steps before Profit are doing some very heavy lifting.

We are thirty years past the time for meaningful gun legislation. Congress has been cock blocking any attempts to study gun violence for decades now. We are being held hostage to corporate greed and gunsexuals.

Just to let you know how ridiculous it is. Glock doesn't sell the model that is easily converted into a fully automatic gun through a switch in other countries. This is because other countries are not fucking insane and actually regulate this shit.

Needless to say constitutionalists and their re-envisioning of our legal structure is a crock of shit and just an excuse for big monied interests to flex on our rights. Oh and have they flexed.

You confuse me making fun of people for their retardation for meaningful critique. But certainly someone fantasizing about how powerful a gun makes them is a little fucking Nazi piece of shit.

You show up to defend the indefensible. Your resignation to how things are and defending the wholesale slaughter of our people through the excuse of private gun ownership is garbage.

The US has hundreds of child deaths every year due to guns and Japan has zero. You pretend we can't fix it. That millions more Americans will have to die. That tens of millions of Americans will have to live in fear. Wives will be murdered all for what?

You pointed out you are a fucking tool. You are welcome to walk that back if you want, but don't lecture me on how hard it is to change when the lives of your fellow Americans hang in the balance.
