Obammer part the 2
O noes!
Some of you took offense at my use of the word “asshole” in the last strip.
I stand by it.
If you think Obammer’s gunna taek ur gunz, and you run out and buy a Bushmaster for $1200 due to the sudden lack of AR-15s in the area, you’re not an asshole. You’re an idiot, but not an asshole. You’re dumb enough to think that you need to GO RIGHT NOW and get a M4 rifle with as many high-cap mags as you can afford. That’s relatively okay. I’ll still mock you, because in 2008 you dumb fuckers did the same thing, and miraculously, AR-15s are still available today, four years later, in time for your latest panic and stupidity. You might have to pay out the ass for them, because you have no grasp on how a gun ban would actually fly in the USA, and you have a foolish amount of money. Again, you’re just an idiot.
You’re an ASSHOLE if you don’t own a gun shop, and you run out and buy 10 goddamn rifles because A BLOO BLOO BLOO OBAMMER’S GONNA TAEK DEM ALL. You’re not an asshole if you buy 10 boxes of .223 right now – the asshole is the fucker who brings his whole goddamn family to the shop to get around the “limit 4 boxes per customer” policy, and cleans out the entire rack of ammunition.
Why are you an asshole? Because some of us, with cooler heads, are left with NOTHING to buy when we want to go plinking. In 2008, there were several months where I wanted to teach my friends some shooting – but I couldn’t find ammo for ANY of our guns. .357 magnum was a fucking unicorn. 9mm was either gone, or sold in Gold Dot 25-packs for $30 (fuck that). Why? Because some goddamn neckbeard mouth breather out there just HAD to go buy 20 boxes of 9mm because OMG OMABBER’S CUMIN! Is he gonna shoot it? Nope, it’s going to sit in his fucking closet and gather dust for the next year.
Yep. If you do that? You’re an asshole. And the only people who don’t think you’re an asshole are either fellow assholes, or people who own gun companies/shops, who are laughing at you all the way to the bank for being a stupid asshole.
You want that much ammo? Do us all a favor and learn to reload your own. Asshole. Don’t like me thinking that you’re an asshole? Direct your complaints to your nearest public restroom. Or go blog about it. Or, here’s an idea: pull your goddamned head out of your ass and stop making life harder for the rest of us.
Yes, I’m bitter. I remember 2008-2009 all too well. You fuckers seem to have the memories of goldfish.
More Obammer on Monday. Again, I drew these comics WEEKS ago, and you predictable bastards made them topical today.
Are you an asshole? Here’s the test: If you can stomach more than 5 minutes of this bullshit… just assume you’re an asshole.
[ADD:] From the comments on today’s strip is gleaned this amazingly good blog post.
I forgot about the buffer thing yesterday… you, sir, are a prophet. A prophet of stupid, but a prophet nonetheless.
No, I just saw the same rumbles as I did four years ago. This time I’m not going to be surprised when we can’t get ammo in stores until October.
I said you were a prophet of stupid. I never said it was hard to predict stupid.
So you’re saying I’m the Tiger Woods of special olympics minigolf?
But do you remember 1994-2004?
Exactly.
This is hardly the first gun buying panic I remember. In fact I remember the panic of 1989.
I was working in a firearm store during that time frame (Shooting Sports Orlando, gone now but never forgotten), and you would not believe the amount of douchebaggery some of our customers were engaging in…….or the crud they ordered through us. The one that sticks in my mind was the guy who wanted 5 30 round magazines for his Glock 17. Yes, they do (or did) make them, and yes, they looked absolutely stupid sticking out the bottom of said Glock…..
I just Googled a picture of that, and just one looks comically oversized. Are you saying this guy stuck five on at once, or am I misreading?
Yeah, I do. Really well. I also remember that during that time, two of my friends were able to purchase an AK and an AR-15 with zero hassle at all. Legally. Here in Texas.
Are you trying to tell me to take the idea of another AWB seriously when the first one was such a spectacular success? That’s one of the things that’s killing me here. ERMAGERD ANOTHER AWB IS CUMIN! Well, we all better panic the fuck out, because the last AWB totally fucked up our 2nd Amend rights forever. Yup, flail and buy all the guns and ammo you can, because the last AWB made those things totally impossible to get.
The problem is, that the rumbles I’ve heard about DiFi’s new version, ditto McCarthy’s, is that (a) They’ll make EBRs non-transferable, and (b) it won’t be enough to shave off the bayonet lugs. You’ll only be able to buy Californicated guns:
The non-transferable thing, if it’s like McCarthy’s HR1022, means “you can keep it until you die, but you can’t pass it on. Heirs turn it in for destruction”.
Didn’t take a direct image linky, oops. Californicated:

Oh gods, Alex Jones. Yet another foaming lunatic who needs nothing more than a heapin’ helpin’ of SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.
I’ve heard that Alex jones is a graduate of the same government program that produced Hal Turner..so that would explain a lot of his crap, anyways. “say stuff that gets people to do stupid things so we can bust them, and we cut you a check”. lazy law enforcement
ok watched the whole thing but with my jaw on the ground after about 1min is this real???
ps: we have an Alan Jones who is just as bad
I think most people are currently basing their actions on the AWB of 2004-2012. At that time, it was legal to go own and use what you’d had before, but couldn’t get new stuff. I think a lot of people are stocking up now on the assumption that that is what will be passed. I think a lot of people want their kids to have the same rifles they do. “Obama is gonna take yer guns” is shorthand for President obama has stated on many occasions that he would like to reinstate the assault weapons ban. Feinstein is planning on introducing such a bill in January. I’m sorry you think this is all crap and anybody that gets in your way of plinking with your 357 is an “asshole” who should learn to reload (back at ya bub), but that’s what’s motivating actions. Rail against it all you want, or call your congress people and make sure they’re not on board with any new restrictions.
As for reloading: good luck finding primers (for any caliber) or bullets for 223
Argh. Ban from 1994-2004. Stupid not being awake.
Argh. Posted just before you posted the correction.
Good news, everyone! I can just leave the comment in question out of the approved bucket!
Well you conveniently forgot the concept of “grandfathering” and, if it really was going to be a door to door confiscation, “armed rebellion”.
I didn’t forget anything. Read the comic again: the statement applies whether you’re talking about a ban, or an actual confiscation. He either has the power to do these things, or he does not. (Hint: He does not.) Grandfathering? Well, if that applies, no, he does not. Armed rebellion? See above.
I’m sorry you’re getting your panties in such a twist because you think I’m “the real asshole here.” However, I did warn you, and all other readers: I’m not going left or right wing in this comic. I’m just making fun of shit I think is retarded, from time to time, and the current Obamascare II definitely applies.
A friend of mine suggested (as a joke) that rather than making guns illegal, we just make bullets illegal. If they ever did that, I’d buy stock in any company that manufactures bayonets.
I giggle when I see the puppet “Alex Jones” he’s one of those people who’s out there to stir the shite pot on purpose to make everyone crazy. While he’s right about a few things, he’s wrong about so much more. Then again as Gobbel’s and other masters of propaganda said, “Sprinkle truth in the middle of half truths and obscene lies to make your audience follow you to the end of the Earth.” Most fundamentalist religious nutters are the same way, they listen to charismatic charlatans and do stupid things in their name and blame it on “g-d”.
A fellow I know says it much better than I do, and complements your comic quite nicely:

I’m editing the post to add this link. Thank you for this.
Glad you liked the post. I’ve been reading your comic for a few weeks; it’s always fun to see someone I read independently find my stuff.
im going to turners this weekend, and there BETTER be some goddamn large rifle primers for me to buy.
this shit is ridiculous, you crazy assholes are depriving the rest of us our 2nd amendment right to do things like plink, hunt, COMPETE. (i had to turn down going to a cowboy action shoot in 2008 because i didn’t have any goddamn AMMO)
so screw you guys, and STOP IT.
@Hunter57dor
The Second Amendment isn’t about plinking, hunting, or competing.
He could go the same was as uk, austrailia, canada and probably many others and just say ‘this, this and this are illegal, turn them in before this date or you are a felon, end of story’
That’ll work.
My apologies for your butthurt over your temporary inconvenience when it comes to plinking.
My apologies for deleting the rest of your comment, shithead.
Very instructive indeed, seeing as what you kept vs what you deleted. Well I tried to reason with you.
No, you came in here being an insulting shithead. Now go fuck yourself.
Don’t expect a ‘yes man’ chorus when you call people assholes.
I expect nothing of the sort. But I also don’t like having people come to my site and use it as a sounding board to insult me. Don’t like it? Go fucking blog about it.

I don’t know what you think you’re proving here. As you may have noticed, I don’t feel like putting up with your “Fuck you” followed by a childish “Whaaaaaaaat? I was just sayin’, man, why you gotta censor me like that? I didn’t do anything, whine whine.” Don’t like it? Again, go fucking blog about it. You’re not going to “win” here, you aren’t impressing anyone, and all you’re giving me is a minute or two of work at a time.
The next time you decide to “dish it out”, you might remember that being a dick to me here gets you nowhere. Save us both some time.
This one cracks me up everytime I look at it! a hernia! heh!
“Because some goddamn neckbeard mouth breather”
That’s my new favorite insult.
And the neck hair is my least favorite to shave, damnit. I’m a sensitive soul.
On back on topic, I have always tried to have enough on hand and in the reloading room to keep the family in good spirits for a year of shooting. It really beats dealing with panic store-emptying and then having to pay panic prices.
And damnit, I didn’t have enough primers saved up. *sigh*
Absolutely LOVE the comic… Even though I do not agree with your assessment of what *I* perceive as our devolution into a true police state, and/or the perceived need to keep more than a plinker’s supply on hand.
And may I state ahead of time- I know you don’t give a shit about my opinion. I still love your strip.
Oh, I agree that we’re living with an encroaching police state. I have ZERO argument on that, as the base level. Shit, look at what happened in Boston. Look what happened to Dorner. Look at this country for the last century and tell me that we don’t live in a corpocracy.
But it’s mostly being done on the local and state level, not the federal level. The feds don’t NEED to go after your rights. The State Govs already do that, to varying degrees.
