There's really nothing new to say when it comes to gun control. Those who oppose it always use the same arguments, and those who support it always do too.
The whole point of Jeffries' bit was to mock what's already been said over and over... I thought the way that Jeffries depicted the pro-gunners in his role as an anti-gunner was funny, myself.
Of course, his gun control piece wasn't nearly as clever and original as some of the other bits of comedy gold posted up around here recently. I mean, who would have thought that farts and shit could be turned into humorous subjects.
(I generally hate that stuff, but sometimes that same old shit can still make me laugh.)
As for gun safety labels and NRA courses in schools, okay. But, case after case of babies and toddlers being injured and killed have been posted in this thread; babies and toddlers living in the homes of so-called "responsible safety-trained" adults. There have also been more than a couple of stories about police officers, some of them firearms trainers, shooting themselves and others; shootings which would have been prevented had these firearms experts practiced the basics of what they'd been taught and what they'd taught others. So, I don't personally think a gun safety label like those found on hair dryers and classes teaching 5th graders how to hold guns properly would result in many fewer accidental or negligent shootings, especially not the latter. But, maybe Jeffries can work those suggestions into his next bit...
