Sure, it seems like there are a lot of Republicans running for president, but that doesn’t even include the guns who are also trying to get to the Oval Office. As the candidates try to out-tough and out-gun each other, it turns out that the sixteen candidates own at least 40 guns. That’s quite a candidate-to-gun ratio.
Poor Ted Cruz seems to have a weird AR-15 bacon grease fetish as you’ve probably seen by now, and it turns out the candidate named Lindsey has one of the biggest arsenals. (He must be making up for his time as a lawyer in the Air Force who received dubious promotions.)
This would all be ridiculously comical if the candidates’ actions, on the campaign trail and in their various day jobs, didn’t actually have an impact on our nation’s gun policy. It would be much funnier if so many people weren’t getting killed by guns.
Prepare yourself for more tough-guy candidate photo ops. Fall will bring hunting and plenty of opportunities for desperate presidential hopefuls to pose with their big guns and the occasional dead fuzzy or feathered creature. Enjoy the cartoon, check out the additional links and be sure to share it with your friends, gun-totin’ and otherwise.
At least forty guns are campaigning to be in the Oval Office, too.
Here’s a sampling . . .
AR-15 (Carolina drawl voice): Hi, I’m Lindsey Graham’s AR-15, I pledge to shoot people up if law and order breaks down. Huh-heh!
Group of guns: Lindsey twenty-sixteen!
.38 Pistol (more refined voice): I’m Bobby Jindal’s laser-sighted thirty-eight. As governor and eventual Commander-in-Chief, you never know when you’ll need a gun to overthrow the very government you lead!
Bacon gun (Texas twang voice): I’m Ted Cruz’s bacon-makin’ machine. ‘Cause you never know when the Tree of Liberty has to be watered with bacon fat. Yeeee-haw! White House here I come!
Two pistols: Us too!
Heckler .45 (New York tough guy voice): I’m Donald Trump’s H-K forty-five. I can make you bleed outta’ yer ears and your you-know-whatsit, too. Trump twenty-sixteen, you losers!
Narrator (tough, grunge voice): But it’s not just guns.
NRA Lobbyists (smooth corporate guy voice): Hello, we’re the NRA lobbyists who got Jeb Bush to sign the Stand-Your-Ground law and scared Chris Christie into supporting fifty-caliber rifles. We’re shooting for the White House, too!but we never hear the voice of compassion over all those kids and adults no longer here just more guns buy 'em and shoot 'em and kill with 'em the end????
