Jon Stewart is continuing the discussion on gun control, a discussion that, he says, has gotten off to a terrible start thanks to the latest ad from the National Rifle Association (NRA), which was released the other day and took aim at President Obama and his kids.

Below are two segments from Stewart’s latest show on the topic.

In the first one, he talks about the Obama ad from the NRA, stressing that such videos ultimately do more harm than good to the cause of responsible gun owners.

“If I didn’t know any better, after seeing that ad, I would think that the NRA is either an elaborate avant-garde Joaquin Phoenix style joke or a false flag operation run by Michael Moore in an attempt to discredit gun owners,” he said.

As I also informed you yesterday, the NRA ad argues that Obama should not oppose the move to have armed guards in schools as long as his own kids get full protection from armed security in theirs.

Personally, I cannot see why anyone would care what jon stewart thinks. Everyone wants to jump on conservatives about gun violence, I suggest that jon check and publically announce the political afiliation of the last 4 mass shooters. If he can't do this then he shuld shut up

Jon has a way of showing us the absurdity. The Presidents children need protection one reason being the idiots running around with assault rifles. Hunting of game is bad enough the NRA wants us to have people hunting weapons. 85% of children killed by guns in this world happens in the US, think about it people.

The NRA is crazy and totally out of line to bring up the president's children. They will stop at nothind...We need to start a Mothers Against Guns similiar to MADD...Enough of the bullying by the NRA
By the way...Neither I or the President want to take away anyone's hunting rifles...but no one needs an assault rifle except the police and the military...

being a former Coast Guardsman, i can say the people appointed to secure these weapons are trying to do what is asked of them. However, there is always "someone" in the chain of evidence or command that makes sure these seized weapons still make it to the streets, hence why i am no longer in the Coast Guard. I cannot stomach chasing these people down in the carribean, getting shot at , boarding their vessels and seizing , which is what my job is to have all that turned around and still allowed into our country. not just guns but drugs too. do we need more laws? not sure. i do know we need people up top to be committed to what the actual game plan is instead of using our youth by juicing them with some false patriot drug that we are making a difference when we are just making a few select richer. sickening!!!!
