Should I worry about my daughter's sick sense of humor?

A few day ago, when my daughter's friends were hanging out in the house,
I saw them passing around a piece of paper and laughing. When I came
home from work, I found that piece of paper lying on the table. This
isn't unusual. Often I will find books, paper and other things lying
around the house, waiting to be tidied up.
The drawing wasn't that bad. It was the content that shocked me. A
police officer and a blonde man with big glasses are standing in an
apartment. Between them is a couch with a bloody severed arm on it. The
officer is pointing to the arm. His speech bubble says: "Mr. Dahmer, do
care to explain why there is a severed arm lying on your furniture?"
The blonde guy, who must be Jeffrey Dahmer, says: "Haven't you heard
about the 2nd Amendment? Every American citizen has the right to keep
and bear arms."
In big letters, was written the title, Jeffrey Dahmer and the Second Amendment. My daughter has mentioned Dahmer a few times before. Should I be worried about this?

Hey-- I don't know how old your daughter is, but I would guess she is about 13 to 15. They seem to go a little far off the path at this age on what is appropriate, funny, whatever. I would talk to her about it and get her opinion on it and why she thinks it's funny-- try to do it without being being too judgemental-- just let her talk. My guess is that it is nothing to be too worried about, but talking about it lets you see her thought processes. Good luck!
