Thought sarcasm wasn’t very American?
Think again.
The New York Daily News has printed this puppy-dog, polar bear, kitten and fawn covered edition in response to the US gun control debate.
It says: “To all those that have been offended by hearing the truth about our nation’s gun scourge and the NRA and cowardly pols who think nothing’s wrong: Everything is awesome!”
The cover is a nod to the current gun control debate, sparked by the 355th mass shooting in the US this year, in San Bernardino California.
And it’s the sixth cover in a row that calls for better gun control in the US.
With the San Bernardino shooting declared a terrorist event, opponents of stricter gun controls have argued that it should not be a part of the broader debate.
President Barack Obama has indicated that he intends to seek change. Something that the National Rifle Association and the Republican Party are expected to oppose.
But the New York Daily News is campaigning hard for change.
They also ran this cover on Sunday, December 6:
It directly takes on the NRA, with the claim: “NRA big policies would let the jihadis kill.”

Why is everyone so terrified of blaming the terrorists? Gun laws would not of helped with the latest terrorist attack, radical jihadists don't care about gun laws and abiding by them, they pretty much go in knowing they are going to die. So they will break laws to get guns, buy them illegally, obviously they had financial backing from somewhere and connections to get these guns.
All those front pages should of had a picture of the terrorist and the heading "We need to stop Terrorism" in BOLD writing. But no, instead of being strong on terrorism they decided to be weak and blame prayers and attack Christians.
Kind to f makes it easier when guys and ammo are readily available- it is much harder to hard such volumes if they are not legally available. People like this are often not criminal masterminds but deranged nutters jumping on the band wagon of Isis to do what they fancy. tHe reality is the could not do so much damage if those types of weapon were not legally available.
WOW, they are giving their all! I hope the masses start to listen.
Unfortunately the people who need to listen become more staunch in their opinion when confronted with this.
