Reacting to the National Rifle Association’s dissent on Louisville, KY for their Annual Meeting this week, cartoonist Marc Murphy penned an ignorant and offensive cartoon to commemorate the occasion.
Implying the NRA kills children under the Second Amendment, Murphy “welcomed” the NRA to Louisville, but his post received less than a stellar welcome with gun owners:
.@MurphyCartoons @courierjournal I was at the convention in Nashville last year and Indy the year before that. Crime went DOWN during both.

What does this one even mean? That @NRA organizes posses during their conventions? Posses. The 1-2:30 breakout. https://t.co/zucVHqo5hU

Nevermind those who SAVE children's lives using firearms. Of course, you love abortion so no matter

Yep. As soon as they stop requiring drivers' licenses and the registration of the cars. And speed limits. https://t.co/ZBJ0G2GF24

Get rid of the #2A and it will be everything else you love up on those crosses sooner or later.

Actually, no. A free and informed federal judiciary does that. Also, still think Fire and Rain is one of your best. https://t.co/VS0ksNqwwp

Ignoring the many programs the NRA has for teaching children gun safety, like the Eddie Eagle Program, the Youth Scholarships and Contests they offer, Hunters Safety programs, and their Youth Education Summit, Murphy is content suckling at the gun control teat for all the misguided information that paints his cartoons.
Murphy is well-known for misinformed, illogical drawings that feature evil guns and typically fails to draw from facts. Take a look at a few of his hoplophobia-filled portfolio entries:
