Stephen Colbert looks at Georgia's 'guns everywhere' law

Last night, Stephen Colbert took aim at Georgia's new "guns everywhere" law.

But shockingly, the "guns everywhere bill" doesn't cover some everywheres. Yes, it broadens conceal carry eligibility to include people who have committed crimes with guns, but only after they're out of jail. Why can't they carry guns in prison? That's where you need them! That place is full of criminals! (audience laughter)

This "guns everywhere bill" is a good start. But it still requires you to carry a gun, to have a gun. That's why I say we must broaden "guns everywhere" to "everywhere is guns". All buildings in America must provide concealed weapons in event of a non-gun-having emergency. Just use the gun on the chain to shoot the glass, and grab the gun.

(audience laughter)

Because the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun. And if everybody has a gun, chances are at least one of them will be good.

As usual, Stephen Colbert's humor is closer to the truth than to fiction...

Both are a bunch of right/white wing hacks into guns to compensate.
