Title of Cartoon: Different Childhood Priorities in Different Places
Cartoon Number: 1
What action is taking place in the cartoon? On the left side there is a happy child with a teddy bear in his arms sitting on his bed in the middle of his neat and tidy room. On the right side there is an innocent looking, freckle-faced boy sitting in a disorderly room looking down at the gun he is holding.
What is the context? The context is that here in the U.S. the belief that everyone should have the right to bear arms has gotten out of control and there should be regulations on who has access to a firearm.

Positive framing of stricter gun control laws.
Framing is supportive of those in favor for increased gun control.
Framing is opposed to those who are against increased gun control laws.
What reality is constructed/framed about stricter gun control laws? This cartoon is constructed to show that there needs to be limitations on who has access to guns. The newspaper headline says "6-year-old shoots 6-year-old" and brings attention that many accidental shootings are caused by guns falling into the wrong hands. While this may be true, the artist has somewhat distorted the facts. Fundamental human rights listed in our constitution, such as the right to bear arms, are prohibited to children. Yet, the artist does a good job of getting the point across.

Title of cartoon: Well Regulated Gun Rights
Cartoon#:
What action is taking place in the cartoon? What is the context?
In this cartoon, the cartoonist asks the viewer to “Pick the ‘Well-Regulated Militia’” from two sources. The minute-man carries a single shot muzzle-loading rifle and the hundreds-of-rounds-per-minute-man is shown carrying an automatic weapon complete with a high-capacity magazine. The context of the cartoon is in regards to the section of the Second Amendment to the United. The amendment states “A well regulated militia” is “necessary to the security of a free state.” The artist wonders what constitutes a well-regulated militia. This is something that’s been debated by advocates for and against gun control laws. Advocates for gun control say automatic weapons aren’t needed while those against gun control say it’s “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” under the constitution. And they believe that right “shall not be infringed” as long as they fight against it.
Tone of the cartoon:
1) positive or negative framing of stricter gun control laws (circle or highlight answer): The cartoonist shows the minute-man as standing tall but looking uncomfortable around the man he’s being compared to. The hundreds-of-rounds-per-minute-man looks crazed as he sneakily peers around his large armament.
2) framing is supportive or opposed to supporters of increased gun control (Circle or highlight answer): The cartoonist shows the minute-man as abiding by constitutional law. The hundreds-of-rounds-per-minute-man looks to be using his constitutional right only for excess.

3) framing is supportive or opposed to opponents (e.g., NRA) of stricter gun control laws (Circle or highlight answer): The cartoonist paints a picture that shows a man from colonial times carrying a muzzle-loading rifle, a weapon he used to defend early Americans in war with those who sought to bring the country’s freedom to an end. This was thought as “well-regulated” in those times. In the present day, regulation is something that is harder to enforce because of the ability to have a military-grade weapon that is not needed for protection, as the country has a large military force for its protection. The hundreds-of-rounds-per-minute-man doesn’t need that weapon for his protection; rather, he wants it because he believes it is his right.
What “reality” is constructed/framed about stricter gun control laws?
The cartoonist plays on his own beliefs, showing stricter gun control as something that’s needed because many Americans are arming themselves to the point of excess. The constitution says a well-regulated militia is necessary to the safety of the United States. The individual with the assault rifle –one nearly as large as they are—is not really regulated because of the capacity in the magazine and the size of the weapon.

longer than we should
Cartoon #: 5
What action is taking place in the cartoon?
It shows three things that the
majority of the US have come to believe were true, including the fact the claim
that guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

What "reality" is constructed/framed about stricter gun control laws?
Whereas it may be true to some extent that people kill people, not guns since
a gun needs a person to operate it.But guns are very dangerous and the most
common weapon to aid in murders and accidental killing. Yes, a person could
kill someone with various weapons, or even with their bare hands, but without a
gun, they’re less likely to kill numerous people at once.

A gun lobby is giving a baby a gun as a gift.

access to a gun, including children.

This cartoon is supportive to supporters of increased gun control.
Framing is opposed to opponents of stricter gun control laws.

the right to a gun.
