SHOULD WE BUY A GUN?
A graphic novel about the gun debate aimed to help heal our polarized divide.
Should We Buy A Gun? unites a provocative, humorous heartfelt story with simple, enchanting, evocative drawings.
Maggie & Adam are newlyweds building a life in Austin, TX. He's a NYC transplant and school counselor. She's a native Texan and NPR journalist. The like-minded pair are eager to try to start a family.
But everything changes after a mugging. They're shocked to find they have opposing views on guns. Whether to buy one, try for a family, or even stay together is now in question.
11 years in the making, authored by a politically left writer and illustrated by a politically right artist, this graphic novel doesn't claim to have the answers, it only asks that we stay open-minded.

“A brilliant and complex distillation of the relationship between gun rights and today’s mental health crisis and Hollywood’s depiction of violence. This book may well fill the gap for a Great American (Graphic) Novel about guns in our culture.” -Rebecca Yeldham, Producer, The Kite Runner, On The Road, The Motorcycle Diaries.
“What starts as a simple plot with simple drawings, slowly unfolds into a complicated and nuanced comic, rich with history, context, and relevance. A beautiful genuine story.” -Shannon Wheeler, two-time Eisner-winning Author
“Both daring and hopeful, this will be a conversation starter at a time when we urgently need one.” -Ieva Jusionyte, Ph.D., Author of Exit Wounds: How America’s Guns Fuel Violence Across the Border
