“This is the 130th mass shooting of 2023, and 2023 is only 87 days old,” says Stephen Colbert. “Not doing anything about this is an insane dereliction of our collective humanity.”
Monday’s mass shooting at the Covenant School
“This is the 130th mass shooting of 2023, and 2023 is only 87 days old,” Colbert said. “Not doing anything about this is an insane dereliction of our collective humanity.” The late-night host went on to point out that “the obvious solution” to the nation’s mass-shooting epidemic would be banning assault weapons, something Presidenthas proposed and the US has previously enacted. “We’ve had one before, from 1994 to 2004, and it worked.
While stricter gun control legislation may seem like a no-brainer in a nation overrun by gun violence, Republicans, Colbert said, are “desperate to talk about anything else.” He highlighted Republican congressmanthe “guy on the sexual harassment training Zoom who’s about to unmute and explain that the girl in scenario B overreacted because, if anything, the warehouse guys were giving her a compliment.
He then shared another clip from Burchett’s interview in which the Republican representative shared advice his “daddy,” a World War II veteran, gave him as a child. “He said, ‘If somebody wants to take you out and doesn’t mind losing their life, there’s not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it.’”
