Gun Control - 2006/09/27 23:40
The gun control one.
You could make at least as good a program taking the exact opposite view. Most of the argument seems to be based on the the 18th century views of the founding fathers which is a good argument for slavery too.
The 43 kids killed by accident for every attacker is justified by 42 people who are deterred? Holy shit people in the US must be insanely sick and lawless if the crime rate is still as high as it is with those 42 people not committing crimes. What happened to Penn's theory about the vast majority of people being good?
In the US 40 times as many people are killed by accident by head of population as the UK. Homicide rates in the UK are now rising fast as immigrants pour in with guns smuggled from Eastern Europe.
In the US there are 100 times as many firearm homicides than in Japan by head of population, which has the strictest gun control in the world.
It's not joined up thinking, it's taking a point of view and working your way to it illogically, the kind of thing that the show usually fights against.
Jackie Mason is wheeled out as the expert voice of reason...
The founding slave traders would of course have put in an ammendment to legalise personal nuclear weapons so that the government would be super fearful of it's citizens if they had foreseen it.
Now that is Bullshit.
