Not a bad cartoon, actually. I was expecting a lot worse from Garry Trudeau.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Let's laugh at this, will make us look better, if we can laugh at ourselves. Ever think we are all a little silly?
Comeon, no one has drawn on themselves in the mirror?

OhI can be silly as all get out, butI am silly in an educated informed sort of way.
So if this cartoon is OK, then I can OC while wearing a coyote hide Indian style?
It's ok to crack jokes with people I know such as " you better watch it" and one of them says " yeah she's got a gun! nuck nuck" ?
And no,I have never drawn on myself in the mirror. As far as drawing on a mirror, I may have done that as a tike with crayons.

I disagree with the comic, but I find it funny -- but that is what humor is, it always uses generalization to make people laugh.
It does show an issue, Trudeau doesnt understand why people would carry.

Yeah, I mean that's the reason I posted it, I think it's a good thing to be able to laugh at yourself a little bit. I certainly don't agree with everything about it, but I've definitely seen a lot worse.

I personally think a lot of people carry firearms to "show off" but I'll protect their right to do so
So do I. I see people carryin' a sidearm while wearin' flip-flops.
Yeah... that'll work. :banghead:

So, apparently Trudeau wants folks to believe that because people are open-carrying in their local Starbucks, negligent discharges are commonplace.
Once upon a time, Doonesbury was a great comic strip; then one day, Garry Trudeau woke up believing he wasthe great political commentator of our time.

Don't you KNOW anything? Guns are dangerous. They go off all the time. All by them selves. Gun owners are stupid and careless. Do you not read that in the mainstream media all the time? Good Liberals should not be subject to having to see or even acknowledge that firearms may have a legitimate purpose. Why even the Police could go unarmed if we just got rid of those awful guns.
Doonesbury is just following the usual liberal line. Why is anyone surprised?

Well, I thought the first one was a little funny, but there's just no redeeming qualities to today's strip. A gun randomnly going off in Starbucks? Really??

I stay away from the intellectual section. It's way too much for me. But then, I don't read the papers at all. Our local paperis affectionately known asthe Austin Anti-American Statesman.

Actually, this is making fun of both sides...
That the place is "bristling with guns" and they can't believe it.
Doonesbury is equal opportunist
I'm a libertarian, I find all static viewpoints worth making fun of.

Now, I'm not bashing women OC'ing, quite the opposite. Just saying that at least in the forum's spectrum, the comic author is right on the sex of the OCer.

Well, considering all the ND's in Starbuck's...Oh wait, It's NEVER happened!!! Oops, My bad, Sorry!

An alarmist? Whatever suits their ahh-gen-dahhhI suppose. 'Been OC/OK at Starbucks in AZ for as long as there's been Starbucks... it's just not an issue. But... Kommiefornia is another animal. They're forced to be activists. Of course the ULOC they're forced to do will result in ND's up the gazoo... (uh-huh) but Trudeau is (and will remain)clueless.
