Can't get the image to post, but it's a veteran grilling a hotdog and shouting 'Ready to Serve!' while ghostly servicemen look on approvingly. The title is "Happy Memorial Day from La Cucuracha".

Not sure how that'd set off righties.

I believe it was this one, which ran on the day he posted the link:

Yeah, I intended the one about unsafe guns. I wondered that the link I posted didn't have a date or ID number on it. MY link must be to "today's strip" or "latest strip."

Yup, that's what it is. I saw the original; no doubt they change every day.

Okay.

But considering that more children 14 and under die of accidental poisoning than from firearms accidents (94 vs. 62 in 2010, per the CDC's WISQARS database), it might not be fiction.

1) Who claimed it was "fiction"?

2) What's your solution?

Well, actually, if you want to be literal, and if I wanted to be a temperamental a*****e, I would say that I did. :<)

I have not seen any other report suggesting that the pink finish on children's guns is toxic.

Seems most of the kids dying around these guns are dying from acute lead poisoning.

Same as it has been. More training for kids as to what to do when they find a gun. "Stop. Don't touch it. Leave the area. Call an adult.", comes to mind. You could have such training in schools on safety day. Maybe have a costumed character to re-enforce the lesson, like McGruff the Crime Dog or Woodsey Owl. Perhaps an eagle?

Also, more sure and severe punishment for folks who leave firearms where unsupervised kids get to them. Maybe if folks aren't concerned about the safety of the kids, they'll be concerned about a few years in jail.

Seems these simple steps would be more effective than, say, expanded background checks, or bans of the sale of "assault weapons" or large magazines, in reducing accidental shootings of children.
