Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My fellow worker: YOU need to buy a gun and legally protest with it. The fact that pro-gun Republicans are a lost cause doesn't imply armed resistance is a lost cause.

Part of the reason that Donnie can send ICE into blue cities is because many of us are unarmed. Imagine what would happen if we took lessons from the Black Panther Party and patrolled our streets with armed neighborhood watches.

Reminder, Ronald fucking Reagan passed the first gun restriction laws because the Black Panthers were exercising their rights.

It looks to me that these ICEholes run in packs of four. 10 armed people responding to their presence would make them think twice.

To avoid cross fire, you can flank in an L-shape

Well no, the existence of the NFA from 1934 alone disproves that. At the time, Regan was only 23 and working as a sports broadcaster, his entire political career up to that point amounted to "Student Body President" at his college and leading a student strike that got the president of the university itself to resign. He wasn't even a California resident (much less governor) until 3y after the NFA. About 10yr later (from the NFA) he would enter actual politics as a Democrat, joining the:

Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions (HICCASP), worked with the AFL–CIO to fight right-to-work laws, and continued to speak out against racism when he was in Hollywood. In 1945, Reagan planned to lead an HICCASP anti-nuclear rally, but Warner Bros. prevented him from going. In 1946, he appeared in a radio program called Operation Terror to speak out against rising Ku Klux Klan activity, calling it a "capably organized systematic campaign of fascist violence and intimidation and horror".

Clearly it went downhill after that, but fun fact nonetheless.

Regardless, there were plenty gun laws before The Mulford Act (which shouldn't exist), like said NFA (which also shouldn't exist.)
