Since The Giffords Shooting

The title of this cartoon is ' since the Gifford shooting". In the picture we see a little girl telling an older female that the stretch of candle that goes beyond the horizon is memorial for every one that has been shot since the congresswomen. to understand this cartoon one must know that after this deadly shooting congress wanted to have new laws regarding guns and control on a Federal level. this artist on the other hand is trying to say why is it after millions of people have lost there lives or had their life changed due to gun violence, congress is just now trying to do something after one of their own was the victim. this cartoon relates to our time period and what we lean in class because we are learning how laws are made and also on a bigger scale there are more weapons in the street then ever, even weapons that you should only see on a battlefield.
