After CA Terrorism, New Yorker Mag Cover Targets Smiling White Gun Owners
Fresh off an Islamic terror attack carried out in strictly gun-controlled California, the leftist media haven’t missed a beat perpetuating their message that guns, not jihadists, are the problem that must be addressed.
For the cover of its upcoming December 14th issue, The New Yorker magazine chose artist Eric Drooker’s depiction not of a Muslim couple like the San Barnardino terrorists, but of a white couple shopping together, happily piling AR-15s and hand grenades into their cart along with a carton of milk.
(Yes, white people can be Muslims too, but let’s get real – The New Yorker isn’t going after Muslims but after their stereotype of white, undoubtedly Christian and conservative, Constitutionalist gun owners.)
“What would it look like if I took America’s obsession with firearms to its logical extreme?” says Drooker about the cover, according to writer Francoise Mouly, who continues: “The proliferation of guns and the too-easy access to military-grade weapons is not the only story in San Bernardino, but it’s an appalling part of it.”
Logical extreme? There’s nothing logical about this. White, sane, law-abiding, husband-and-wife gun owners are not carrying out acts of terrorism. They are not waging war against the United States or anyone else. You cannot simply go to a supermarket and pick up an arsenal. Hand grenades have been illegal for citizens since 1968. This artwork is not a “logical extreme” but a grotesque leftist fantasy designed to demonize supporters of the Second Amendment.
“If only Eric Drooker’s image were a fiction,” Mouly muses. You can picture her shaking her head in moral indignation. Except that it is a fiction.
What’s not fiction is the threat of worldwide jihad, which left 14 dead Wednesday in California. If only Eric Drooker had painted something about that.

The New Yorker’s cover illustrates the logical extreme of liberal ideology.
It implies muslim immigration and terrorism are desirable for providing an excuse to disarm Conservatives while gratifying their own twisted concept of humanism.
