Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Depends on who is holding it.
Turns out, while those supporting fascism embraced gun ownership, those who oppose it apparently decided sometime after 1945 that fascism will succumb to wishes and hope, so that may play a role in the discrepancy you're witinessing.
It seems the people who get guns as a prop for their power fantasy are also those who are attracted to fascism. But at least there are a lot of gun owners in the US whose personality doesn't revolve around guns, those who see weapons as a tool.
