Cid Campeador, we must be the same age. I turned fifteen the day JFK was assassinated, I got a shotgun that Christmas and my gun control radar stood up then.

Herblock was the most hateful b@stard ever to pen a cartoon. He compared gun owners to Bonnie & Clyde. And registering guns was the prevailing panacea.

The `soul brother’ cartoon appeared in the New Yorker magazine.

Then as now, gun owners are depicted as overweight middleaged unenlightened white men, but nowadays that’s supposed to be a dying minority.

And yes, I did do some 2nd Amendment buying following the Newtown horror, after I prayed for the souls of those poor kids.

Herblock was bad, but here in Atlanta, I have often cringed at the editorial cartoons by Joel Pett. He is clearly on board with the worst of the NRA-demonizers.
