Jon Stewart is outstanding, but also this video seems like one of his better ones. Aside from gun issues specifically, part of what makes this great is his calling the for-profit media sources out for their hypocrisy and ignorance, and callousness to the lives of innocents including our children.

It’s a great point that they are bitching about crime and violence and at the same time voting to make it worse everywhere. Fuck Republicans!

Tbf the people living in rural areas - where they are surrounded by e.g. bears - probably really do have a (more) legit need for such weapons as handguns and even rifles (NOT ones that can kill 1000 people while barely needing to be reloaded though).
But people can’t even talk with one another these days, much less work together for a supposedly common goal to protect the lives of actual children.
Elsewhere Jon Stewart has a brilliant interview with someone where he barely gets a nod to admit that voters need registration in order to vote, hence registration is not impinging upon that constitutional right.

Hey that’s just like what they do with the economy and many other issues. Strange isn’t it? The party that whines about the shit just constantly makes it worse.

I was gonna correct you to say, "fuck right wing republicans, but then I realized there’s no real difference. 🤷

A lot of the more right-wing Republicans are gone now, whereas the ultra-right-wing ones that replaced them… are now also gone, and the new Alt-right ones seem to be paving the way for the next iteration, the Alt-Reich.:-(
But my point is that while there may have been some people of good conscience before (mind you I could not name any offhand, but theoretically), or at least true believers in their own dogma, nowadays you either bow before the Dump Trump or you get run over.
