So what happened to the assault weapons ban, which was dropped Tuesday from the Senate gun control package? Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News thinks he knows.
“We know how much money the NRA pours into lobbying for guns like this to be completely available in America,” he says in today’s edition, which bears on its cover the pictures of the 20 school kids slaughtered at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., by Adam Lanza on Dec. 14. “We know that it has turned so many politicians, too many politicians, into cowards in the face of the money and imagined power of the NRA.”
As Lupica writes: "If Sandy Hook Elementary doesn’t make every member of Congress take a stand against assault weapons in this country, then what does? How many small coffins do we need the next time?"

The question to pose to both federal and state gun grabbers is how many patriots are they willing to kill and how many of their enforcers are they willing to loose in enforcing their ill conceived laws?

The quality of your photomemes is improving greatly. I can’t put my finger on why, but they are.

The question to the federal and state gun controllers is how many patriots are you willing to kill ...By their own admission, tens of millions.

Up at #5 I just added text to existing anti-gun cartoons. Here is my newest one that I spent any time on. It's not meant to be clever, but to be a lesson in one image, for "visual learners."
ANd here is a host site for a bunch of my memes:

This is actually one I have seen before and is one of the ones that had me take notice that you were definitely improving.

Make a meme, post in perpetuity.
But the main reason is to reach the visual learners via meme sharing on social media. Essays just don’t reach them.
