“Jewish Shoes” This meme, using a photograph of Jewish shoes piled up in the “luggage room” at the Auschwitz II–Birkenau concentration/extermination camp (museum), employs a particularly despicable argument against gun control, sometimes known by its portmanteau term: Reductio ad Hitlerum. It is an argument claiming that victims of the Holocaust could have resisted oppression under […]

“They All Owned Weapons” This meme is a response to a response: It attempts to show that some of the founding fathers were pretty young (like the student activists who survived the Parkland school shooting in February 2018), but still knew what they were doing when they created the USA (like the student activists who […]

“Not Above Criticism” So much butthurt in so few words! It seems that Charlie Kirk not only proves the point of the original meme in his “answer,” but can’t follow the line of reasoning in it, either. Allow me to explain— Nobody said the arguments of David Hogg (Emma González is also pictured) are “above […]

“Democracy vs. Republic” This meme continues the abuse of teenagers who lived through their fellow students getting massacred on February 14, 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The assertion is—like the assertion that these students are not old enough, or wise enough, to change the insanely permissive gun laws in the […]

“Treat Bombs Like Guns” As summarized by Wikipedia, “Between March 2 and 20, 2018, five package bombs exploded, mostly in the American city of Austin, Texas, killing two people and injuring another five. The suspect, […], blew himself up inside his vehicle after he was pulled over by police on March 21, also injuring a […]

“Heritage Not Hate” At no additional charge, I have corrected the spelling and punctuation in this meme: “According to the left, Emma González’s [Cuban flag] patch has everything to do with heritage and nothing to do [with] the fact [that] Cuba is controlled by murderous Communists. Just as this [Confederate flag patch] has to do […]

“Brits Took Away Our Guns” This has got to be one of the silliest Conservative responses to the “March for Our Lives” that took place, primarily in the USA but also in the UK, on Saturday, March 24. The fact (as if Conservatives could bother with facts… or balance.) is that the “March for Our […]

“Demanding More Government” News reports say that Florida legislators are now requiring Broward County Public School students to carry ID and wear clear (see-through) backpacks to school—which the county says they will provide. In the meme, featuring pictures of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students David Hogg and Emma González, Conservatives berated the supposed “hypocrisy” […]

“People of Color Too Lazy” Yes, I’m sure it’s just that we think People of Color are too stupid or lazy to get an ID. It surely could not be— Many people work multiple jobs, or don't own or have access to transportation, or don't live in a county with a DMV to get ID. […]

“Maryland School Shooter and SRO” To clarify— The SRO who fired on the Maryland shooter was a trained, armed deputy sheriff. He was facing a shooter armed not with a large semi-automatic rifle, but with a handgun. The shooter was still able to seriously wound the person he targeted, so the SRO didn’t end the […]
