You know that recently in China a man walked into a school and stabbed 22 kids? Guess what, they all survived. (See this UK Guardian article for more info). You're right, taking away the guns won't stop people from being violent but it will drastically reduce their capabilities for committing mass fatalities on the scale of Sandy Hook.

About banning assault rifles--since nearly all gun deaths in the U.S. occur because of handguns, not rifles, making handguns illegal would actually make far more logical sense--not that it would ever happen in the U.S., mind you.

About the "mentally disturbed" comment: less than 4% of violent crimes in the U.S. are committed by those with a mental illness. Identifying those "mentally disturbed" as you called them that will actually commit a violent act is not nearly as easy as it sounds; you might want to read this NY Times piece on the subject. Alcohol and drug use is actually a much better predictor of violent acts than mental illness is.

Back on topic to this clip--I'm saddened that Jon Stewart has fallen into the trap of thinking of this as a "gun control" issue. It isn't. There are already millions of guns in circulation, many of which are unregistered and would be impossible to confiscate in the case of a ban. The horse is out of the barn already, and it's far too late to start talking about shutting the doors. We need instead to be addressing the issue of why people are using the guns to commit crimes in the first place: economic disparity, the war on drugs, a culture that glorifies violence and "getting back" at the other guy, a mental health system that has difficulty both identifying and treating those with violent tendencies, etc.

People want the quick fix, the easy solution--there isn't one. The sooner Stewart, Obama, the NRA, and the rest of the U.S. figures that out, the sooner we can start having a real discussion about how to make our society a better and safer place.

I almost put this in the love channel, just for this one-time piece considering it's their 100th episode and the time and effort that goes into their productions. THIS is a proper example of the love and care they put into their job, if enough people feel the same we could add it in, BUT I added it to SKILLFUL as I thought that said what they did more than well enough and also...explained the time and love being put into these efforts.

Kudos to their production staff and crew, their executive staff and assistants, and OF COURSE...ALL of the voice actors over the years which have made this a unique experience to watch! Here's a virtual toast to them and if you can, take a shot in their honor and watch their 100th episode if you haven't AND ESPECIALLY WATCH the Star Wars specials if you have never seen them (SHAME ON YOU!!!).

Some of this is an extension of my information above, but not everyone reads it and I wanted the important bits in.

What was with the triangle clock ? was that just a joke or was it an actual time piece ?

Good stuff! A lot of those images in the TIME piece are timeless - they symbolize photojournalism in times of war.
- Though I'm really surprised the Marlboro Man wasn't in that. Thanks.

such a ...timely... piece
