The cartoonist isn't mocking him. He's making a political point against the argument that if only good people had guns, nothing tragic would ever happen. Political cartoonists get paid to do this, and it has a long history in this country.
The cartoon actually appears rather respectful.

That's a rather twisted interpretation of this cartoon. The cartoon is pointing out the irony of an American hero's death because Kyle was killed at a gun range, a popular place for law abiding, gun safe citizens. Nothing more. It's mocking everyone who owns a gun and it's mocking Kyle because he made his living killing the enemy with a, get this, gun.
It's a turd of a cartoon and nothing more. Your crappy interpretation of the cartoon is clownish in and of itself. It's also a complete irony that Kyle died protecting the cartoonists right to free expression, something I have no doubt Kyle would continue to defend if he were alive today.
Really, it's a bad cartoon and in poor taste. The fact that the editors at the KC Star published it speaks volumes about their libtard leanings too.
