I am sure you all have heard about the recent Church shooting in Knoxville, TN. Being a transplanted native from Knoxville, it hit close to home for me.



THe other day the FLS politicized the tragedy, merely a few days after the fact.

That is pretty horrible following the tragedy at the church.

Actually, gun control would not have prevented this as they guy obviously had a 3-shot legal for hunting. Only gun bans would have stopped this. So this cartoon, underlying it, is actually a pro-gun ban cartoon.

Hmm...I wonder if FLS is liberal, pro-gay, and pro-gun control.

Luckly we live in a free country, where people can be as'liberal' as theycan beandtry and suppress others rights all they want :banghead:

I agree it is in poor taste but how can you type that it is not OC related. The picture clearly depicts a person openly carrying a shotgun.

I think because OC generally refers to handguns.

That is disgusting. I consider myself liberal on most issues, support gay marriage, but I absolutely support abolishing the majority of gun laws. I don't understand why they have to take a cheap shot and make a cartoon that basically says if you support gun ownership, you are an ignorant bigot.
