There are multiple things that can be inferred from the cartoon. A. Chris Kyle wasn't a good guy. B. All people who own guns are bad. Do I think if Chris Kyle wanted to stop that guy from shooting him he could? Very likely but doing so would have required him to kill the vet. He likely made the choice to continue to try to help that vet than to take action and was killed trying to save a life rather than take it. Hey gave his life trying to help this guy and now the cartoonist is trying to mock that attitude. Very poor taste and looking at his other cartoon a sign of significant mental illness of his own. We a cartoon with a grave with the #37 on it be appropriate with the tag line...if only we had more lifeguards? Chris Kyle likely made a choice to try to help instead of kill and lost his life for it. Now we mock him for that choice.....

See that's the different take, I'd be willing to bet he made a choice not to kill the other guy when he probably could have. So yes a good guy with a gun probably could have saved his life. But he choose to try to save the other guy instead and failed.
We'll never know the exact circumstances of what happened, but given his training I think it's safe to say he has tools to take control of that situation that others don't. So yes I feel they are mocking him that he choose to help rather than kill.

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. |

You've never been around members of the special operations community, I have, I've seen some of their training tactics upclose they have skills and training that most have no understanding of.
Consider the skill it takes to take a shot at those three pirates in choppy seas with a their guns on the captian in the at sea rescue out near somila a few years back. Three head shots and three very difficult shots to make with the lifeboat bobbing up and down in the waves. Those people are trained to crazy levels and not just for common cases. I would not at all underestimate their capabilities. You want to say the 'modern day' approximation of batman...that's the seals and delta etc. But on that note I bid you a adieu. Not worth my time to argue with you to the ignore pile you go.

The cartoonist is being sarcastic with his one-liner at the bottom. There was a good guy (Kyle) around who did have a gun. But still, there was a crazy dude who killed this sharpshooter. So the cartoonist is saying to the NRA that their supposedly fool-proof response to the Newton incident of putting a good guy with a gun at every school is not going to work.
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. |

Im pretty sure this thread proved the cartoonist's point.
