It’s time we treat our nation’s epidemic of gun violence like any other public health crisis and DO SOMETHING about it! If we’re going to beat gun violence, we need to arm ourselves with the proper weapons: government-funded research and a dedication to change! #DoOneThing

What happens after a shooting in America:
ReplyDemocrats: We need to do something about this!
Republicans: Let’s give thoughts and prayers.
Democrats: Let’s do something actually useful like background checks and gun purchasing reforms.
Republicans: We can’t do that. We’re bribed by the NRA. I mean, we’re pro 2nd Amendment.
Democrats: We support the 2nd Amendment also, but we want to keep people alive by ensuring this doesn’t happen again.
Republicans: It’s too soon to talk about change. Let’s give it time.
Democrats: That’s what you said about the shooting that happened yesterday!
Republicans: We know, and we will say it again tomorrow since we are only pro life for unborn babies and not our actual constituents.
And repeat for literally every other shooting.
This woukd be the spark to infinite this nation. Try taking black market guns off the streets and actually keeping criminals and mental health patients incarcerated until they are rehabilitated .
ReplyYou just think you want this until fsvist are forcing you to vote how they tell you.
This keeps left and right at bay. Unless you want real catastrophe this us dumbest line you could ever want crossed in thjs country
Love you Samantha Bee!! Ur a Bloody Legend Mate!!
ReplySo.. straight from worrying about someone coughing on me, and back to worrying about being randomly shot by some gun toting loser who can’t figure out that thinking that killing dozens of innocent people because he can’t get laid is probably why he can’t get laid.
ReplyWord.
ReplyDOCTOR MALPRATICE DEATHS IN 2019 250,000 DEAD
ReplyALL DEATH FROM GUNS 39,000
YOU DO THE MATH !
DOCTORS ARE A PUBLIC HEATH CRISIS !
You rock Samantha, have been a fan since the beginnings!
ReplyLaws and action – so tired of “thoughts and prayers” baloney
ReplyThe problem I have with gun control is that most of the proposals are either unconstitutional and/or have no impact on reducing the gun homicide rate. I support some limited measures such as the Violence Against Women Act and strengthening the background check system. However, other proposals such as gun licensing, banning 3D printed guns, and gun confiscation(Beto’s plan) are blatantly unconstitutional. The assault weapons ban has no impact on reducing the gun homicide rate as we saw in the 1990s.
ReplyI thought I was the only one who remembered the Cats PSA
ReplyWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
ReplyGood
ReplyWho is mrs god
ReplyIf u promise to melt my guns, then turn ’em into a giant anvil and crush Donald Trump I’ll hand them over.
ReplyOh and I live in Australia.
“The humans had an accident.”
ReplyAmerica is simply obsessed with death.
ReplyLook, deaths to gun is just a reality that you should accept and be glad for because otherwise, gun enthusiasts won’t be able to own guns! Now, all we need is a law stating that it’s legal to shoot anyone with a gun in any circumstance and you’ll finally have the dystopian future of a gun control(led nation)!
ReplyRepublicans have made “Thoughts and Prayers” to mean “I don’t really care.”
ReplyDuh.
ReplyMy *favorite* gun control thing is the must issue laws coupled with it being illegal for the ATF to digitize it’s records for background checks.
ReplyAmerica has such a gun violence problem that Sam’s joke about “shootable arrangements” actually echoes a real gun crime that happened where I live not too long ago. A man shot his wife at her work, an Edible Arrangements shop, and I believe ended up shooting himself before SWAT could get to him.
Reply1:45 , please do this again!
ReplyThe other countries with significant gun ownership, don’t compare anywhere close to The US gun deaths per capita. We’re Number One!
Reply2:02 having fun with that character? lol
ReplySo the argument went “I need a gun to protect my home frome bd guys with guns.
Reply“How is it bad guys can get guns?”
“They steal them”
“So people need to protect their guns? should we hold them responsible if they don’t?”
“If someone stole yer car would you be responsible if he hit someone?”
“GOOD ANSWER. Guns need two keys to operate an imobilzer an alarm AND A LOWJACK!”
This is really nicely put together!
ReplyFirst and foremost: CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY THE LAW. Second. Your car/guns analogy is deeply flawed, and heavily partial. Everything you said should be fact checked because you are attempting to deceive vast amounts of people. How about taking about restoring normal people’s rights, including minorities and those in poverty, whom have been betrayed by the justice system. Talking about how the justice system strips away people’s ability to properly defend themselves, through arbitrary laws. remember criminals don’t obey the law.
ReplyStating that guns are not regulated enough is asinine on its face and a bold face lie through and through. Guns are HEAVILY REGULATED, and you don’t need to lie and be deceptive in order to promote new policy, it’s just insulting to people who know better. It just casts shade on everything else that you say, and diminishes your credibility and reputation.
ReplyChange isn’t going to happen in the US because they would rather let actual children die (Sandy Hook) than actually implement changes that would either prevent or reduce such deaths from happening again.
ReplyIs that the ancient aliens guy smashing the car?
ReplyAmerica, the great…
ReplyI’m surprised we have even that many guns that it said Australia has. I’ve never seen a gun in real life.
ReplyOne of the best laws would be to require gun owners to report any lost of stolen guns. Legally require them to report make and model and serial number. Stolen guns are one of the primary ways the criminals get a hold of a gun.
ReplySexy, smart and silly, Sam!
ReplyMatt Carriker probably owns half those guns…
ReplyFINALLY! Take the guns! #Socialism #GOPfear
ReplyYeah… Watching the US from Australia the mentality is just incomprehensible.
ReplyUhhh, you haven’t heard of the death grip ?
ReplyLess guns less Republikkans!
ReplyHow do you plan to take the firearms away from illegal owners in the inner cities aka gangs seeing how they are responsible for the vast majority of gun violence in the US? Or do you plan on just going after conservative gun owners because they are your political opposition and you want them unarmed?
ReplyI wonder what Obama did about that during 8 years? Also, rich Hollywood celebrities should be the ones giving up their heavily armed bodyguards, not the average person owning a gun to protect himself.
ReplyActually, I’m gonna need an entire series based off of your fox news correspondent character thanks.
ReplyOwns 40% of guns yet rank 32 in gun violence globally. Not bad, surprisingly.
ReplyI will never understand the obsession that some Americans have with guns! How can they possibly be so scared?
ReplyFirst of all, handgun donot need ban only ar15 machine gun and shotgun need to ban. Anything that fire more then one or spread out bullet need to ban. God is transexual, there no miss God. I love batman uses. He is true gun control owner.
ReplyIn Kansas, the only time you have to get a vehicle inspected is if you’re transferring the title and registration from a different state. Just a fun fact.
ReplyPLEASE MAKE “FOXY BEE” A CONSTANT SEGMENT!!!
ReplyEhh….ummm….ehh..
ReplyIf you really want to have some gun laws, theres a simple solution everyone tend to forget. Black people and other people of color should be armed. Cuz all these gun debates are only based on what white people think what’s safe.
ReplyBest example, the Black Panther movement in the 70s-80s; they formed a militia to protect their communities from the government-runned police force. Literally what the 2nd amendment was for, but some state legislators passed laws such anti-open carry for everyone. But we all know its cuz white legislators were shitting themself cuz black people were exercising the same rights as whites.
If every American can’t own a gun. No American should own a gun.
ReplyLol. The mom called so the internet stopped. So many young people who have no idea what that joke is about.
ReplyAt least with a hand gun, people cant squeeze the trigger and spray a line of bullets, and there’s not a huge magazine full of bullets.
ReplyGo back to Canada.
ReplyI want to see what happened in the end to the vehicle…….
ReplyAs for car regulations, thank Ralph Nader. Guns need a Nader, and let’s hope the guns don’t get him first.
ReplyYou people are insane – your country is certifiably crazy
ReplyRepublicans say that “we need more GUNS… everyone should own and carry a GUN… no need for a license, no need for an ID to purchase a GUN”… we need more guns so that everyone can protect each other”.
Republicans are the problem… then GUNS.
ReplyYou are more than 4 times more likely to be killed by a car than to be murdered by a gun in the US. This is despite the fact that there are 73% as many cars as guns. The politicians and media just like to project the problem to be much, MUCH bigger than it is
ReplyYou Liberals will be thanking Republicans fighting for gun rights when Fascists take over
ReplyWhen I worked at Walmart, there was a few times I had to sell bullets. I felt so panicked and weirded by the amount people took.
We would get ammo once or twice a week and costumers would by 1 or 2 shopping carts full nearly on a weekly basis.
It was horrific
ReplyYeah, give up your guns, then when the left turn the US in to Venezuela, you wont be able to fight for your rights.
ReplyThe auto safety regulation analogy is very strong. Please be direct about sharing it with politicians.
ReplyOne thing to note – Jay Dickey himself wrote an Op-Ed in 2015, expressing remorse for the amendment he’d pushed and the harmful legacy it wound up leaving.
ReplyWhat’s funny is the majority of people that have a negative opinion about gun control don’t even own one
ReplyA small thing but thank you Sam, for using images of women, including a woman of color, in your graphic for scientists and engineers. For someone studying the gender gap and leaky pipeline in STEM, little things like that go a long way in reminding us and our kids that jobs are not gendered.
Replyboth japan and the USA have some of the highest suicide rates worldwide
Reply#bullettax now!
Replyyeah Fauci calling the gun violence epidemic a public health crisis is only going to get republicans to hold on to their guns tighter, trust him and the government less, and not get a vaccine or listen to public health safety measures… nearly 40% of Republicans didn’t trust Fauci before this that number is going to very quickly spike to 100% if Fauci’s statement about gun violence gets picked up by far right media, If Fox news, Newsmax and Ben Shapiro all picked it up practically every Republican would know about it in a week…
ReplyIt’s weird how lockdown not just saved people from covid, but also from mass shootings
ReplyUnrelated, but her hair looks so good today!
ReplyShe’s preachy, confused and cringy. But not funny at all. I was told this lady is a comedian?
Reply…. Scalia re-wrote the 2nd Amendment…If we want any kind of safety from guns..we have to change the 2nd Amendment back to where it was..
ReplyI love Samantha Bee’s alter ego! Great idea.
ReplyLosing brain cells watching this
ReplyHere’s to all the fragile men who lost there lives in combat so this woman is free to run her mouth sans brain.
Replyhee hee “car slinky” hee hee
ReplySad big mouth immigrant from Canada. Should have stayed across the border. Here for the US dollar and flap her trap.
ReplyGun violence isn’t a public health crisis, it’s a thinning of the herd by The herd.
ReplyWith the majority of the Supreme Court being conservative our gun rights aren’t going anywhere. Good luck trying though! Hahaha
ReplyIn Hollywood tonight. Hollywood, hollywood, hollywood. In Hollywood tonight.
ReplyBecause some people think they need their automatic high powered guns… Also there are so many guns out there that are not counted… Stronger laws and longer wait periods
