If you still have problems getting the interpretation of this cartoon, call up Lee Judge and hear it straight from the horse's (or other four-legged critter's) mouth.
"Supposedly fool-proof response"? I think their point was that an armed guard is more effective than a sign that says "Gun Free Zone." Strangely enough, anyone who is a high profile target with assets available to them completely agrees with the NRA. That's why celebrities use bodyguards instead of Gun Free Zone bumper stickers on their cars. That's why Obama is protected by the Secret Service instead of a Gun Free Zone t-shirt. Speaking of Obama, do you think that security (including armed guards) was ramped up to insane levels when he visited Sandy Hook? Why?
