Got it from a religious cringe instance, as how people of the 80s will live in the future… Mostly accurate except the shirt that still goes too hard.

    Turns out the bible people ended up being the gun nuts, not sexually liberated people with tattoos.

    Chic tracts. Serious propaganda aimed at convincing 80s children that they will be going to vividly imagined hell if they don’t accept Jesus as their lord and savior. I’m not ashamed to say my 12 year old self had a moment of doubt.

      This one is absolutely a shitpost drawn by Danny Bulanadi as indicated by the artist name on the desk in the bottom panel.

      So I did more googling and it’s apparently from an abridged Bible called Truth For Youth, hence the book in the comic. After drawing comics in the 70s and 80s he went to Kingstone at some point. It’s a Baptist fundamentalist style comic publisher. Can’t say for sure if it was money or passion that drove that move.

      Ah, you see the event is always both weak and strong. The enemy is too weak to realize how guns help you protect your rights and your family while at the same time the enemy is very strong and dangerous and is armed to the teeth with guns and wants to take away your rights and kill your family.

      These are the ‘bad guys with guns’, allowed to run free at the liberal indoctrination centers thanks to liberal gun restrictions somehow

      Conservatives: “You see when the librulz and the minorities get ahold of guns they inevitably try to overthrow those above them, causing chaos and disorder, and therefor we have to take their guns away and make sure we all stay well armed. Just like Reagan intended.”

        Ah here the guns are bad because Satan is holding them. If Jesus were holding them they’d be inalienable rights

        I was taught by abeka books that evolution is just a theory so we shouldn’t be swayed by it and ray comfort told me intelligent design is proved by a banana. The earth is probably only 6k to 10k years old because really smart people counted back the names in the Bible and multiplied it by the average life span between now and Methuselah.

        Fr though I dropped out of college but I got miscellaneous tech certs so im doing just fine. I had to unlearn for years before anything made sense. My grandfather tutored me though and he was a very skilled engineer with pieces in a museum so it made a difference. He was sometimes mean but he liked my curious side where most shut it down.

          Bananas do prove intelligent design, but only of the banana – they were selectively bred by humans to be how they are. Wild bananas were much smaller and stubbier.

    I am sure people who genuinely share this then go on to defend civil gun ownership because it’s land of the free

      Well of course. Because they’re the good guys with the guns. It’s not the guns that they view as the problem; it’s the people using them.

      It was only when members of the Black Panthers had assault weapons that Reagan enacted an assault weapons ban. Nevermind all the continuing overt racism that persisted even after black codes were abolished.

      It’s clear they interpret 2A to mean, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed…except those people.”
