being a britisher, i really don't understand these... are these people really stupid enough to think that they may make people forget that obama is in the shit because of the past 8 years, and not yet president? It hurts my mind and yet I still keep this thread bookmarked...

I don't recall the second amendment having anything to say about people having to wear clothes in national parks?

read the "punch line"

stolen joke: it's about the right to arm bears

oh duh. cuz the thing is that you can carry in a lot of nat'l parks!

New regulation will relax gun control in national parks

oh duh, concealed weapons, i am an idiot.

Shit I'd certainly feel safer in a National Park knowing that anyone I see might be carrying a concealed weapon

what the fucking fuck

One of the orginal reasons they banned loaded weapons in Nat'l Parks (unlike Nat's Forests where it's permitted) is that hunting is strictly prohibited and they didn't want any jackasses poaching endangered species.

i was thinking of forests!

i thought the people in the first frame were meant to be cavemen or something.

No, they're just the kind of cretins who feel 'naked' when they're not packing heat.

I mean I can see the argument for concealed carry in an urban situation. I don't buy it, but I can see it. In a national park though, those hotbeds of crime and violence, sure, whatever, you batshit rightwing loon.

and yeah the literal depiction of the 'exposed' metaphor in the cartoon is totally confusing and dumb.

Anyone remember a parody piece written after Virginia Tech, imagining what would happen if all students could 'pack heat'?

I believe, under the old law, you could bring your weapon into the park but it had to remain broken down or locked or something and the ammo had to be stored separately or something. I mean, an outright ban would be an undue burden of people traveling thousands of miles, who want to get in alittle , legal hunting along the way or whatnot, but concealed weapons in nat'l parks is pretty fucked up.

can someone please explain why they make such a distinction between weapons and concealed weapons?

those lisa benson drawings as well, are you sure they are rightwing batshit cartoons becuase i've been reading them the other way entirely. eg that it's a crying shame that public education doesn't afford people any choices. (ok, the others, i can't really explain those)

can someone please explain why they make such a distinction between weapons and concealed weapons?

Probably because hunting is boring but concealed weapons mean that hopefully someday your fantasy of killing a kid who mugs you or breaks into your house can come true.

i meant that the punch line was that without guns, people are "exposed". i think they say that exactly too.

thanks, george bush! someone still loves ya!

can we start a new thread, this one is hueg

so, i'm assuming this guy backs your standard silver coins/purestrain gold/ron paul-ish distrust of national currencies and/or federally backed bank and treasury notes

I think his point is "government money" is actually "taxpayer money."

new thread:

Chuck Asay died for your sins: batshit rightwing cartoonists 2009

how is that a "point"? the money you pay in taxes originally belonged to someone else before you traded your labor for it, and by paying taxes you're trading it for labor and services done by the government. it's no more a fiction than "taxpayer money" or "corporate money" or anything else

As somebody pointed out on that other forum, a lot of these can be distilled down into "THOSE FUCKERS, OUR SHIT" etc

Have we discussed this yet?

On the current thread, yeah.

Chuck Asay died for your sins: batshit rightwing cartoonists 2009

Ah, I didn't see there was a new one, sorry.

chait's catalog of 'weekly standard' covers is kind of funny

why'd we stop posting rightwing cartoons? did it just get too depressing for everyone?

yup

am just remembering that i stopped clicking on this thread for that very reason

i think it's because you can't go to the artist's house and punch them in the back of the head

ILX has a weird relationship with comics, period

Yeah, I bailed out of skimming thru these things when it hit my limit of activated comorbidity.

I almost revived the current-ish thread with Ferguson materials but I got too angry at the batshit ones - though they seemed thin on the ground - surprising number of conservative cartoons focusing, reasonably, on the militarization of Main Street theme, etc.

the batshit right wing got too real

"the cartoonist has no idea how net neutrality works"

Those rule. lol I guess I'm pretty out of the loop, would never have guessed there's this huge right-wing groundswell against net neutrality.

i may be totally off here but i think conservative keyboard warriors really only got on board very recently. it seems like i remember even dudes like glenn beck being FOR it back when it first became a mainstream(ish) concern. of course this all changed as soon as the usual suspects started spoon-feeding the idiot feedback loop
