Lol. Hanging fruit.

The poster is true in response to gun advocates using that nation as an example.


Maternity leave and healthcare were irrelevant to gun rights, even with some bad comparison from gun advocates.

The more important aspect of the Swiss guys point was the ammunition regulation (if it's true)

Of course it is relevant. You can't pick and choose parts of a system like they are Lego pieces. They have successful gun culture because they are a very equal and fair society. The United States has a failed gun culture because we are unequal and unfair.

We have much more reasons to turn to crime here than there. That is the biggest factor, economics success.

and its equally a response to those who think that guns are the actual issue. Im sure the swiss would still have drastically lower homicide numbers even if they were allowed to keep 1,000 bullets in each home. The key factor is the differences in economic realities in the two countries, differing gun laws in both countries are far less influential than income inequality.

But its always funny to see someone trip over their own partisan biases!

Indeed. Apples and oranges there. The US is more like Brazil, just not as exaggerated. That is what the future looks like in the face of authoritarian capitalism and the loss of democracy that is occurring through legislative and judicial partisans acting.

I can't help but think all the comics like this seem so pretentious. Same with the philosophy ones. Idk, I just imagine all the college students reading them and feeling soooo smart cause they get it.

The scar was pretty funny though lol
