Jon Stewart Fires Back at Republicans On Need for Gun Control | The Daily Show

On the subject of gun control, I am a gun owner. What makes me worried is the people that want to talk gun rights, without talking about the responsibility that goes with owning a gun. "My rights" is the argument of a child. "My responsibilities" is the argument of an adult.

The GOP says gun owners don't want the government on their business. Totally fine with the government being all up in a woman's business. They need to be voted out.

Former UK cop. For contrast: I once seized a shotgun from a middle aged man because his doctor wrote a note to the police because he was concerned about the guy’s mental health and the amount he was drinking. He was allowed it back if he got treatment and his doctor wrote back to us clearing his concerns. The guy wasn’t happy but accepted that his weekend clay/bird shooting would have to take a back seat for now until he was better

They keep saying it’s mental health issues but don’t want to do anything to solve it. They say it’s video games but other countries have video games but not the gun violence.

In 1972 my mom called the cops on my abusive dad and the cops showed up, asked my mom if he had guns, she said yes and they took the guns from the house and told my dad he could come to the station and get them when he was sober. He never did. He was too embarrassed. This is what needs to happen today.

We’ve been having this conversation since Jon Stewart had color in his hair

So, I lost my 3rd class Medical for my Private Pilots license after 9/11 as I was on SSRI medication for a few months. Ultimately another doctor figured out I was depressed due to my corporation going bankrupt. Apparently the FAA thought I might fly into a building or crowded public place. And, it has taken years to get my medical clearance to fly again. In the USA, we can take a persons private pilots license for being depressed, But we can’t take their permission to own weapons? How dumb are we?

20 years and nothing has changed. Some of these clips are even older than 20 years!

Jon tells the truth even if people don’t want to hear it

These people have been in government for over a decade and have made NO push forward in the way of helping people
