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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

School shooters don't always have legal guns, if you shoot your mom and steal her rifle for example, you didn't legally acquire it even if she did. (Sandy Hook). Or if you get your friend to straw purchase you a bunch of guns you can't legally buy, that's illegal because straw purchasing is illegal (Columbine). There's more examples but that's just off the dome, I'm not a human google machine after all.
That said, yeah of course a terrorist can obtain one, legally or otherwise. They can either have a clean background themselves, or if not then have friends with clean backgrounds illegally straw purchase for them, or 3d print them like Luigi (now y'all gonna believe they work? Luigi's problem was the can without a neilson, not the print.), hell in the Khyber Pass they mill beautiful guns with hand tools, in the jungles of the Philippines they do the same just with less engraving, people can make some shit.
