Disgusting, repugnant, offensive, disrespectful, tasteless, depraved, insulting — there are no words for that horrible cartoon (June 3, page 4A) denigrating the 5 million patriotic law-abiding members of the NRA and the 100 million law-abiding U.S. citizens who own guns. 
It does nothing for the victims of criminal misuse of firearms, whether past, present or future, and it shows utter lack of respect for the rights of those of us who never commit crimes and only want to protect ourselves, homes and families. It also shows utter contempt for the Constitution of the United States. 
It is nothing but cheap, tawdry propaganda to shill for a strident agenda that always exploits tragedy. Please show a little class and get out of the gutter of this political pandering.
