Animator Brilliantly Explains The Gun Control Debate Using Cats

BoredPanda staff
With over 18 school shootings in the USA this year alone as well as the last month’s tragedy in Stoneman Douglas High School, the gun control debate is more heated than ever. While some Americans push for stricter gun laws, mostly focusing on semi-automatic rifles, the other camp proposes different solutions to the obvious problem. And since the complex and sensitive nature of the subject might be confusing for some, artist Alex Clark created an animation that explains the matter in a brilliant way: by using cats.
He addresses the main arguments and issues by portraying them through a clever metaphor, using such characters as Mrs. NRA and comparing guns to cats. ‘Guns Explained With Cats’ even addresses one of the more controversial propositions, training and arming school teacher, an idea endorsed by President Trump and criticized by many, including teachers themselves. The video concludes with a suggestion to attend “March For Our Lives” rally in Washington, D.C. on March 24, one of many across the United States, an event that’s been widely reported as the tipping point for gun control legislation.
Watch the video below and let us know what you think about the artist’s analogy.

What do you think ?
i loved how Trump said if he was in Florida at that shooting he would have run in. I say give the man a gun and send him to a combat zone. see what he is made of.
A paint ball gun, that is.
We have a saying in Romania: "dupa razboi, multi viteji se arata", meaning "After the war's over, everyone's a hero". I wouldn't trust Trump with a pool noodle, let a lone a gun. After all, let's not forget he did this: giphy-12.gif

Melody, no. Your obsession and worship of Trump is sad and pathetic.
if you are talking about ego, yes he has more than me.
Anyone else supremely annoyed that the so-called "apple pie" is actually a blueberry pie?? No, just me? Alright then, I'll see myself out.
Yeah exactly! I was like, WAIT why is the apple pie blue???
OBVIOUSLY you never had moldy apple pie. Get your facts straight smh. (*sarcasm)
You're not alone, I was surprised too...
SHOOT never tought of that (see wat i did there) 😏
WHY ARE KINDER SUPRISES ILLEGAL BUT GUNS AREN'T????
because candy is dangerous and guns are completely safe and never hurt anyone
Of course! Candy serves no purpose but to choke children, while guns are useful for all sorts of things, like killing people and killing animals and, mmm, let's see here...
