The Daily Show: A Series of Gunfortunate Events

Leading up to another nationwide school walkout to protest gun violence, Trevor recaps all of the news coming from "good guys with guns."

1. Yes! And it doesn't even include the three year old who shot her pregnant

mother. Is this a great country or what?

2. There are so damn many "accidents" involving guns that it's tough to keep track

I remember Rachel giving the statistics - that the chances of accidentally shooting a family member or friend were so much greater than using a gun to defend against any intruder.

3. Yep. If there's a gun in the house, or in the car

or in the purse, people tend to get shot. Oddly enough, in households or cars or purses without guns, people don't get shot. I wonder why that is.

4. And my "sport" when I was in school

Was on the HS rifle team. I was "second man," LOL. That's one skill I learned at the camp in Vermont. I was the first and only girl on the team at school, while the team at camp was only girls, it was a girls' camp. But someone like me, having experience with guns, takes them damn seriously. We had to learn specific rules and understand them before we ever picked up a gun - and there were no "accidents" on my watch. And because I understand handling a gun requires training, I am opposed to public ownership. I did shoot competitively, but I never had one at home and because I know what they can do, gun control is a big issue with me.
