    The science is pretty clear; gun control works. Every time you repeal gun control laws, loosen restrictions, open gun stores, gun-related deaths escalate, often dramatically. States with higher gun ownership rates have higher rates of homicides caused by guns. Even a 1% reduction in gun related deaths would be the equivalent of 2,500 people per year. Kids die more often from gun-related deaths than car-related deaths.

    Mass shootings also barely make up 1% of gun-related deaths, so the science behind them isn’t as well studied, but things like reducing magazine sizes shows a correlated relation in reduction of mass shootings.

  • Fred Durst, of the famed Limp Bizkit band, is a speech therapist. You can see him wearing his signature red hat.

    Fred Durst is reciting the lyrics to the Limp Bizkit song, “My Generation,” to which the lyrics during the pre-chorus are:

    So go ahead and talk shit, talk shit about me Go ahead and talk shit about my g-g-generation

    The last word, “generation,” repeats the first letter twice before saying the word fully, for musical effect in the song. However, since in this comic, Fred Durst is a speech therapist, he is saddened to hear his patient repeat the first letter, as the effect resembles a stutter, which would signify a failure on Fred’s goal as a speech therapist.
