Just an upload for any interested. I've got a 2 hour wait until my management class and have to kill some time. This cartoon really does offend me, though yall may not consider it that bad.

It strikes me as clumsy and not funny.

The deeper problem is that this cartoon shows that the cartoonist does not understand the mission of the NRA and other RKBA supporters: It's not about things -- guns -- but the human rights of liberty and self-defense.

Wish I could see it. Photoshop or linked pictures don't open on my work computer.

I wish I could find some way to get a cartoon of mine in there. I couldn't get them to use my letter to the editor on the last article

I have the same problem.

If you click the QUOTE button on the message, you will get the entire plain text of the message, including the URL of the photo. Copy that and paste it into the address line of the browser.

You should get the photo, unless it is on a site that your employer blocks entirely.

I tried to do it for you, but the URL contains a dirty word.

I'd make a couple changes -
Instead of the gun on top of the monument, a symbolic page of the Constitution, the writing would be the 2nd amendment and instead of "Great Gun Almighty" how about "Sacred COTUS". The rest would be OK.
I believe there is safety in numbers..
numbers like: 9, .22, .38, .357, .45, .223, 5.56, 7.62, 6.5, .30-06...

Not only is it antiAmerican but also Sacreligious. (Never typed that word so hope that is how you spell it.)

That's easy! The idol is a "saturday night special" and the graven images are "assault weapons" on their way to Mexico. :roll:

Wait, how many politicians have the NRA sacrificed to the great gun almighty? None? Hmm... this gives me an idea... :evil2:
