I'm about to get REAL preachy the next two days. I'm sorry. I just have a lot to say all of a sudden.

The Fed Seized My Guns and All I Got Was This Government Cheese.

Today's comic, and I feel I need to explain it here, isn't a slight against President Monson in any way shape or form. At least I hope not. Though if he is actually like this I'll be flabberghasted.

It's a good thing to have pride in your accomplishments to enjoy a good life you have worked hard for.

But then a Democrat (an extremely moderate one at that) gets elected and you're all salivating over how awesome guns are. Don't get me wrong... I think guns are fine. Whatever. Have at em. Know how to use em. Keep em away from kids who may kill themselves with them. Go hunting. Defend your life. Use them responsibly. That's really a no-brainer.

Where things get ridiculous (and I mean that in the most loving way) is with the stockpiles. And this notion people will use said stockpile to defend their home and their family from the Overlord Intruders who have come to take away their "stuff" and start sharing it with everyone else. Yeah yeah... taxes are the government stealing from you... whatever... your gun isn't going to protect you from taxes. Or is it?

And this love affair with guns. Guns are awesome! WOO! Do you really fantasize and swoon over chunks of metal? I guess I just don't get it. "Man! This gun can rip a beer-can-sized hole in a man from 400yards!" Somehow the ability to kill a person has become praise-worthy.

Do you ever stop to hear yourself talk? What if President Monson talked like this? Does he compare awesome firearms with Jesus? Does Jesus share tips on which bullets can blow bigger holes in things with the Pope? Is this what you were brought up to be like?

No one, and I mean NO ONE, here is saying you have to roll-over and be mugged, raped or killed. If you feel safer carrying a gun into a school, a church, on the street then please do. Go crazy. Carry em everywhere. But give the ability to take a life the sobering respect it deserves. Hand guns are really only good for one thing and that's killing people (and I guess threatening to kill people). At least a knife can be used to cut fruit.

Am I missing something? Please explain it to me.
