^^ +1. And then expanding on this thought, wouldn't the students need guns to protect themselves from their teachers?

With everyone armed it might be best to just shut down the schools.

Yes, it stings a bit. Humor is a healing mechanism; a disinfectant. Charlie Chaplin once said, “To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.”

An attempt at humor at the expense of those who died is just not appropriate.

Just about all humor can be seen as inappropriate.

With all due reverence and respect to your perception of the illustration I posted, not one cent was "spent" to make light of the lives lost.

Beg pardon, but I believe you're missing the actual target/relief of the humor. The punch here takes nothing to task other than the utter absurdity of the NRA's fukdup answer to this tragedy. Most pointedly and deservedly so I say.

I do not think we need to repeal the second amendment. We just need to interpret it correctly.
