platform of the Democratic Party.

You say that you are absolutely opposed to the ownership of firearms by the public. That is not the position of the Democratic President of the United States nor the Democratic Party.

President Obama, through a spokesman, said that the right under the Second Amendment is a Constitutional right.

"We will not accept any treaty that infringes on the constitutional rights of our citizens to bear arms ..."

2012 Democratic Party platform:
"We recognize that the individual right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans' Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. ..."

Your use of an unintelligible and vulgar obscenity ("Guns in the hands of the public is nothing but a fuck store.", whatever that means) shows your obvious lack of understanding and your inability to intelligently discuss the issue.

The President of the United States, the members of the Democratic Party who wrote the party platform, and the members of the Supreme Court all recognize that firearm ownership is subject to reasonable regulation, but that it is still a right protected under the Constitution.

By taking an absolutist position, you have shown that you cannot understand that. You even indicated that it took you a while to understand the cartoon. Your lack of understanding (and your use of your vulgarity "fuck store", whatever that means) does not mean that their position and others is invalid.
