Cartoon: Republicans demand brain control

If you’ve been having fun with my cartoons, think about subscribing to my free e-newsletter or becoming a member of the Ink Spot Club, the place yow will discover extra writing, sketches and unique movies!

For some purpose, Republicans like Texas Governor Greg Abbott appear to focus completely on the “mental health” angle of mass shootings and gun violence. If you’re a gun rights advocate, you might be apparently incapable of pushing for higher psychological well being care AND wise restrictions on weapons. What’s mistaken with doing each?

Forget gun control, Republicans need nothing however brain control.

Now that saying “thoughts and prayers” has grow to be so clearly absurd, the brand new catchphrase is “mental health” anytime a horrific taking pictures incident takes place.

School taking pictures? Blame psychological well being. Mass killing at a shopping center? It’s the psychological well being’s fault!

I’m all for psychological well being, however perhaps, simply perhaps, the ridiculous quantity of gun violence on this nation has one thing to do with the truth that we’re awash in weapons. (Not to say the fetishization of gun tradition.)
