'''Antonio F. Branco''' is a [[conservative]], [[United States|American]] political cartoonist from [[Washington]] State whose work is featured in "Conservative Political Cartoonist for Net Right Daily, Legal Insurrection, [[Conservative Daily News]]".<ref name=twitter/> Like [[Ben Garrison]]'s comics, Branco's comics are overtly pro-[[Donald Trump|Trump]], pro-[[gun]], pro-[[Israel]] and anti-[[liberal]].

===Repeal Revealed===
[[File:ComicallyIncorrect - Anti-2nd-rev-600-li.jpg|thumb|left]]

Branco claims that [[Democrats]] want to repeal the [[Second Amendment]]:<ref name=ComicallyIncorrect-repealing-the-2nd-amendment/>

{{quotebox|It has been revealed over the past week that the Democrat party is officially the party of repealing the 2nd Amendment. Political Cartoon by A.F. Branco}}

This comic is a response to the push for "common sense" gun laws by Democrats that ban highly dangerous guns.<ref name=CommonSenseGunsLaws/> [[Second_Amendment#What_is_meant_by_.22arms.22|The comic illustrates the common confusion that the Second Amendment is exclusively about guns, when it's actually about ''arms'']]. In other words, the Second Amendment has already been violated because citizens' rights to explosives and such are already restricted; explosives are {{wpl|Armaments|arms}} by definition. However, Branco has not shown any sort of outcry over this. Also, Branco takes it to the extreme by insinuating that Democrats [[Slippery slope|secretly want to repeal the Second Amendment]].<ref group=note>Either that or he doesn't understand what it means to repeal something.</ref>

===March Madness===
[[File:ComicallyIncorrect_-_guns-illegal-600-cdn.jpg|thumb|right]]

Branco created another anti-gun-control comic:<ref name=ComicallyIncorrect-March_Madness/>

{{quotebox|
"March For Our Lives" doesn't seem to care about all the lives saved by people owning Guns. It doesn't fit their repeal the 2nd Amendment agenda. 
}}

{{wpl|March For Our Lives}} advocates for tighter [[gun control]] and doesn't advocate for a 2nd Amendment repeal. Branco is putting words into their mouths and is applying the [[slippery slope]] fallacy. Also, Branco is overestimating [[Gun_control#Research_findings|how many lives are saved from gun self-defense; the number is less than 1%]].
