This public service announcement is dedicated to Margaret, for the inspiration, and to Eddie Izzard, for this:

The National Rifle Association says, “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” But I think the gun helps, you know. I think just standing there going “Bang!”, that’s not going to kill too many people, is it? You’d have to be pretty dodgy on the heart to have that…

With apologies to Randall Munroe at xkcd, who is today apologising to Robert Frost.

Addendum 9 Sep: The more I look at this, the less it works. It’s a tribute to Munroe that it’s almost impossible to get him right even when it’s mostly stick figures and information-logic humour.
