Noah will never be Jon Stewart.

I am humbled, if he keeps saying things like this, clear hard and true, he will surpass him.

And the fact is, the gun lovers are more than willing to have speech numbers 17 to 10017

Boom goes the dynamite.

He is still trying to gain his voice and he still goes after the news a bit aloof as an outsider, but he's starting to finally do what we TDS fans want. . .be Jon Stewart's second coming.

Then he goes on to say how assault weapons "have the same fatal capabilities" as machine guns.

He's either all mixed up, or he's lying to us.

The rifles commonly purchased that LOOK like assault rifles, are modified for civilian use and lack the selective fire option.

Like any ordinary hunting rifle, they only fire once each time you pull the trigger.

They are make believe assault weapons, like those fiberglass Porsche bodies people use to put on VW beetle chassis. That didn't make a VW beetle into a Porsche.

And neither does an evil looking plastic stock make a gun into an assault rifle.

"Did you know that you can achieve full-auto rates of fire legally and inexpensively? Bump Fire Systems is here to introduce you to our Bump Fire stocks, allowing you to recreate the feel of fully-automatic fire. You can use our system to harness your rifle’s own recoil to increase your rate of fire. Bumpfiring with our system is a safe, controllable, and legal way to simulate full-auto cyclic rates without having to spend a fortune on NFA, or Class III weapons."

This is copy from a website that sells an item that effectively turns a "make believe assault weapon" into a weapon with essentially the same fire rate as a full auto.

https://www.bumpfiresystems.com/product/ar15-bfsystem/

So the idea that "look like assault rifles" are just like any "ordinary hunting rifle" is just a lie. But Urchin, you already knew that.

an explanation about which gun is which?? WHAT are YOU missing?? Maybe I miss interpreted your post, but WOW to me this comment is PART OF WHY WE ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM!!

Trevor Noah wasn't even born here, he grew up without a lot of "extras" we Americans take for granted, but HE'S the one who seems more outraged!

The kid DID hit it out of the park!!! How about you?

what gun does what, I find you're reaction vapid and STUPID! Dissecting one gone against another and dissing someone for at least TRYING TO MAKE a humble plea for to stop GUN VIOLENCE sends ME the message that YOU would rather us to "drop the issue" once again, AS WE ALWAYS DO!

Maybe someday you might be taking a walk in a Mall looking to buy something and SOMEWHERE out of the blues, some idiot with an agenda decides it's TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!!

Won't be able to make many more comparisons then will ya?? Getting killed in a movie theater, going to school or just walking around... will you be on the NEXT LIST OF NAMES???

I hope not!

Republicans pray about it, Democrats talk about it, the NRA writes their checks, and nothing is done about it.
