In a flashback to an older Doonesbury strip, Garry Trudeau adeptly (as if he ever creates a strip INeptly) noted, with his usual dry irony, two sets of facts: One, that after 3000 Americans were killed right here in the U.S. of A., some swaggered and beat their chests and acted all rough and tough by starting a fraudulent war that cost us trillions; and two, that after 270,000 Americans were killed by firearms right here in the U.S. of A., some swaggered and beat their chests and acted all rough and tough by hiding behind the Second Amendment in order to weaken gun laws.
