Except for those directly manufacturing and selling them - the rest are jobs which would still exist and those who do them are not necessarily pro-gun due to it increasing the market for their services. I'm in one of those categories and absolutely in favor of gun control.

To me, the toon expresses the need for additional staff to handle the violence associated with guns.
