You’re right, that’s a bad cartoon. Bush’s finger is inside the trigger guard.
Of course, it’s also tasteless, and looks to be drawn by a five-year-old.
I am very sad to see this cartoon. It is disgusting beyond belief. We need the Second Amendment NOW MORE THAN EVER!!
What is the rapist’s worse nightmare? A WOMAN WITH A GUN!!

The “artist” is a a part of the student staff of the paper. The paper has been left-leaning for years (the campus, in contrast, is quite conservative), but it has lunged further to the left in the last few years. I think that it is due to BDS on the part of the uber-left faculty members who oversee the paper.
Can anyone remember the story of the guy with a gun on a campus, maybe in the midwest, where he started the same thing, but a couple of students went to their cars, retrieved their own guns and killed the guy?? Where and when was that??
You know...if there is ever a reward for best FReeper post ever...you should get it.
This is coolest picture I’ve ever seen.
Who is the author of the cartoon? Can you post contact info? The cartoonist is unwittingly supporting the 2A position: There were no guns at VA Tech, therefore the incident occurred the way it did.
I think there is just something about ladies with protection.
That’s extraordinary!
The gun is nice, too!
Without hesitation, I choose C.
Here is one reply to the student’s cartoon:
“I’m not quite sure what is more disturbing, the fact that the editorial staff of the DT thought this was appropriate to print today, of all days, or that the staff believes that this is legitimate political discourse. Ad hominem attacks are childish to begin with but this is beyond the pale. Young men and women, just like you, died on Monday. Does that mean nothing? It’s disappointing that DT editorial staff had such poor judgment. This cartoon was shameful and a disgrace on the paper and those who created and allowed it.”
"You guys carrying concealed weapons?"
"Uh, no."
"Well, you oughtta be. You never know what you'll run into out here."
We all went out and got our permits after that.
Maine, in spite of their liberalism in many areas, was a very "Don't mess with my guns" state back then, in the late 80's. Probably still is. Law enforcement was not allowed to ask you why you wanted the permit. If your record was clean, you got it.
On January 16, 2002, 43-year-old Peter Odighizuwa, a Nigerian student at the Appalachian School of Law, arrived on the campus.
Odighizuwa first discussed his academic problems with professor Dale Rubin, where he reportedly told Rubin to pray for him. Odighizuwa then walked to the offices of Dean Anthony Sutin and Professor Thomas Blackwell, where he opened fire on them with a .380 ACP semi-automatic handgun. According to a county coroner, powder burns indicated that both victims were shot at point blank range.[4] Also killed along with the two faculty members was a student, Angela Denise Dales, age 33. Three other people were wounded.
Students subdued the shooter When Odighizuwa exited the building where the shooting took place, he was approached by two students with personal firearms.
At the first sound of gunfire, fellow students Tracy Bridges and Mikael Gross, unbeknownst to each other, ran to their vehicles to fetch their personally-owned firearms. Gross, a police officer with the Grifton Police Department in his home state of North Carolina, retrieved a 9 mm pistol and body armour. Bridges pulled his .357 Magnum pistol from beneath the driver’s seat of his Chevy Tahoe. As Bridges later told the Richmond Times Dispatch, he was prepared to shoot to kill.
Bridges and Gross approached Odighizuwa from different angles, with Bridges yelling at Odighizuwa to drop his gun. Odighizuwa then dropped his firearm and was subdued by several other unarmed students, including Ted Besen and Todd Ross.
I see four cowards who only attack the unarmed.
Amen
