I'm definitely against Satire-Free Zones. I've got a fever and the only cure is...more satire! Enjoy the video.
WATCH: Are the President's Kids More Important Than Yours? [Fiore Cartoon]
A Meeting of Minds and Ideas. What started as a discussion of the 2008 presidential elections has grown larger and deeper into an opportunity to voice and to challenge each other on our opinions about the state of our nation, politics, political ideologies, history, and even philosophy. How life-affirming and liberating when minds come together to share ideas and thoughts!

"The Secret History of Guns"
A fascinating article by Adam Winkler on the history of gun control. Well worth the read.
The Secret History of Guns
It presents a lot to digest, from Black Panthers to post-Civil War to first gun control legislation to the evolution of the NRA, but definitely points out for all of us the importance of history and understanding the proper perspective of history when it comes to the Constitution and political discourse inextricably linked to it. Enjoy!

"Guns don't kill people. People kill people."
Let's unpack "Guns don't kill people. People kill people.":
People kill people.
People use guns to kill many people.
People use assault weapons to kill many people very quickly.
Should we remove people or guns from these equations?
Or is it just remove bad, evil or mentally ill people?
Sane people can't possibly shoot off their own guns in anger or by accident, right?
One of NRA's solutions is to add more guns to the equation. Real shocker!
Gunnies use distorted facts, statistics and projections off of gun-owner surveys.
Rest of us use simple math and common sense.
Am I missing something about why we need gun control?
Give up your love of guns, America!
