Won't make any difference, but this Michael Ramirez cartoon nails it.

Source for his numbers would make it more powerful.

Not to mention there isn't 18 mass shootings per year. I understand where he's going but he needs to get his facts straight.

Also, be better if he didn't identify the top rifle as a "military-style assault rifle"....

As shown in the header of the cartoon, the number is the average number of deaths per year in mass shootings, not the number of mass shootings.

Agreed. When you purchase/sell a firearm on the Mass e FA-10 Portal, they make you response to "Weapon".... It is not a "Weapon". It is a Firearm, which is a tool of utility. It is forced Lib speak that is used to promote an anti-2A agenda!! As is taking "AR" and fabricating the term "Assault Rifle"!!

Each year, there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths in the U.S. that are caused by falls from ladders. Most ladder deaths are from falls of 10 feet or less. Falls from ladders are the leading cause of deaths on construction sites.

BAN LADDERS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!

These types of personal injuries are more common that some people might expect. Both outdoor and indoor stairways are extremely common areas for trips and falls. Consider these statistics from the National Safety Council.

• Over 1 Million injuries occur each year as the result of stairway falls.
• Staircase and stairway accidents constitute the second leading cause of accidental injury, second only to motor vehicle accidents.
• Each year, there are 12,000 stairway accident deaths.

These statistics are reminders that even just using a simple stairway, can be quite dangerous. Fall down a staircase, and more than 100 pounds of weight will fall with you

Too bad the cartoon is as wrong now as it was in 2012, referring to a semi-automatic carbine as an "assault rifle."
