    The best part about the TV sledgehammer thing is that the TV wasn't even plugged in, the stuff on the screen was added in post.

      Phil Lewis he was trying to achieve the same symbolism as the Apple Macintosh commercial. Trying to say that media is oppressive. But the message completely falls flat if the only person watching it is currently watching there shitty programming. The message worked for Apple because they had a theater of people watching the screen and the one person set them free with a sledge hammer. If anything this is just telling people to smash there TV if they don't like what there watching. The NRA is chock full of morons so I am not surprised that they don't understand symbolism.

But he's also the one who taught me to respect firearms, always assume they're loaded, never point one at something you don't intend to shoot, etc. He was very comfortable with guns, but he viewed them as a tool, a way to get a job done, not as something you love.

I suggest I would prefer people break their own things vs. someone else things, and breaking the TV is kinda his first amendment statement, you could even call that art.

I would assume it wouldn't be. If it is, he's being stupid.

    I had to pause this a few times so I could laugh without missing anything. And I am a handgun owner. I am also a former card-carrying NRA member. While I do still own my gun, I tore up my NRA card about a year after receiving it (roughly 1988). Let me tell you that only when you become a member can you experience the full impact of how incredibly over-the-top this organization is. The literature I got from them in the mail would have been highly entertaining were it not for the unintended consequences brought about by NRA members who took everything they had to say as absolute gospel. To paraphrase: "Make sure that your children are armed when going to the theater, as they will be the only defense against any terrorist threat." And, "Turn shooting into a family outing." Or, "How to remain armed while travelling abroad."
    Anyway, this is possibly the funniest episode yet. From discovering that the NRA actually has their own version of HSN to that ominous narrator intoning: "...and her name is...Mary Jane." I have never even heard of NRA TV, but I may have to start watching it for laughs because John Oliver cannot produce content fast enough.

I also think shooters names and faces, especially those with agendas such as the El Paso Shooter, names should not be on the news. I agree with you on those points.
      However, the NRA magazines are full of fear mongering, with statements such as people are coming for your guns, or you need guns to protect from immigrants coming across the border and things like that. I will admit that the left does fear monger about guns. But, like my dad always said, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” but that doesn’t mean that everyone should have access to a gun. There needs to be reform so it’s difficult for people to get ahold of dangerous weapons no matter what their intended use is. Besides, even if killers had to turn to knives or something, it will take them twice as long meaning they won’t be able to hurt as many people.
