Jon Stewart Show makes fun of my concern that government taxes are preventing poor people from owning guns for protection
The brief video segment can be seen here. The rest of my discussion was cut where I explain that those who are most likely to be victims of violent crime need guns for defensive uses the most.
I guess it's easy for them to make fun of your comment while completely ignoring the point of your concern. If "sticker shock" puts the price out of reach for the average citizen, does that mean only the rich and wealthy should be entitled to the Second Amendment rights?
Would have liked to have heard another 5 seconds after the "punchline." Hard to tell from this, but sounded to me like the joke fell flat....
