Thank you for pointing out that in the US it's clear that guns hold more value than kids - at least for our lawmakers and gun lovers. It's very sad but true. It's been 25 years since the Columbine shooting and still nothing has improved, only worsened. It's crazy and sickening. Back in the '70s, I spent many weekends on the streets with an ironing board for a table, and petitions for people to sign that demanded changes in gun laws in our State (California). Luckily we've had some good changes here, but not enough! But at least we're safer than most states. But we need major changes and more people raising holy hell over it.

Money is our morality now. And there's money to be made in arming up the populace.

It will take a massive collapse to change that.

Sadly nothing will change until enough people are willing to vote for the changes and to stand up to make it happen. When half or more of the country decides to go to D.C. and stand in front of the WH and scream at the president to do something about it then some change could happen but only if you have a Democratic president because the Republicans have proven that the NRA and guns are their G-d and not about to change.

I wrote a few years ago about a family who was warned, after one of their young children got their gun and shot another of their children, that they must give up either their guns or their children. Last I knew, the children were still in foster care. Some people in this nation truly do love their guns more than their children. This is my #1 pet peeve ... I wish there were NO guns in the hands of civilians. Full Stop. Good post, Clay. Sad, but true.

That is the Christmas tree from hell, Clay, but I love it.

On a more serious note, I will be dead and long gone before this country has sensible (any?) firearms regulation.

I won't be here either when and if that ever happens.

There will be insane firearms regulation as soon as Trump demands it. And the Trumpers will all line up to hand in their guns.

Thanks, Clay. Yes the cold in Iceland, England and Ireland can be penetrating, but not so penetrating as a bullet. Your words are important, as are your toons.

You messed up Clay. Baby girl guns are in pink.

Google "Crickett rifle pink".

Things I’ll never understand and no matter who is shot by whom, the culture continues to arm more. I fear Inauguration and the militias in the streets. We will stay far from windows and outside. .

Well, he could mean the season that lasts from mid-August/early September to late May/mid-June aka the school year.

This lesson has never been understood by the NRA supporters. Great toon and blog.
