It’s time to add some new material to our collection of gun control satire.
We’ll start with this clever use of rhetoric from the debate over illegal immigration.
Seems like a very humane approach.
Next, fans of Willy Wonka will appreciate this side trip into the land of make-believe.
By the way, I’m always happy to share clever humor from the other side, such as this depiction of an American breakfast.
So enjoy this German-language explanation of how to smuggle candy into an American theater.

This next bit of satire is amusing, though I wish its creator just used a random collection of David Hogg-types for the lower frame. As explained by the Pink Pistols, gun rights are especially important for sometimes-persecuted groups.
Three years ago, I shared an amusing comparison of how Europeans and Texans respond to terrorism.
Well, here’s a left-wing version of Paul Revere, warning neighbors of a looming terror attack.
Finally, let’s close with an amusing modification of the one-liner that Elizabeth Warren uses to denigrate gun owners.
We can safely assume that Ms. Warren has never seen this image. Or, if she has, she reached the wrong conclusion.
P.S. On a more serious note about gun control, I invite readers to peruse my collection (here, here, here, here, and here) of honest leftists.
