Gun control in America has always been a controversial topic
and recent mass shootings have wedged a deeper divide between the two sides. The Daily
Show has masterfully satired how gun industries in the United States are
refusing to let Americans pass gun control legislations, despite the fact that
Australia has managed successfully and in a short period of time to implement
gun control legislation and has avoided
a single mass shooting since 1996. The satire shows how similar the two
societies are in that they were both
former British colonies with a frontier that were settled by brave men who
believed in equality for all of mankind. However, the Americans claimed that
they were very different from the Australians and that gun control would never
work in America. This comparison proves the opposite and shows how comical and
ludicrous the idea of hanging on to guns in America is, where mass shootings
happen if not daily at least on a weekly basis. I believe that The Daily Show has taken the pro-gun
slogan that, “Guns are not the problem; people are the problem” and has proved
the fact that some gun manufacturing and profit hungry people are responsible
for these mass shootings and ultimately are the problem in America.
