I like 30 days at most, but 90 days to 9 months is ridiculous! I read a story of a woman who tried to buy a handgun for protection because she had a retraining order against someone, they told she had to wait 30 days, she was killed by this person on day 49. That blood is on my government's hands.
at the time when epsiode came out, i had no idea what Target was..... ( i live in canada, and yes we did have Target briefly but those came years later after this episode) so i didnt get the joke.....
How am I suppose to wait 5 days without shooting anyone? (That's how I feel when getting out of drunk tank at 4am waiting 5hrs for the 🍻 store to open up😖
i can't believe this is a kid's show involved gun safety. what the hell fox? kids shouldn't be playing with guns... you should not paying attention to their guns in cartoons...
Plenty of signs that Homer should be no where near a firearm.
wesley ogilvie Yes. but its in the constitution.
Yet in The Regina Monologues, he is shown to have a few rifles!
"Surely, you can't put a price on your family's lives"
"I wouldn't have thought so either but here we are"
🤣🤭🤣🤭🤣🤭
5 days? But I'm mad now!
LOL, I love the gun shop name on the Simpsons - Bloodbath & Beyond!
Yes me too! and ex-con security From the bigh house to your house
"Loudener", lol. But that's the exact philosophy of Harley-Davidson.
I lose it every time Patty and Selma appear during Homer's ironic targets appearing in front of him🤣🤣🤣
I think of this episode when "The Waiting" by Tom Petty plays on the radio
From Wikipedia: "(Executive producer Mike) Scully noted that if there is any message in the episode it is that a man like Homer should not own a gun."

@@furiousmat And your entire retort was a strawman.
I like that if Homer could afford the $500 he would've suffocated his family
He probably spent more than that on the gun.
Why did you cut out Homer saying "Bossy children telling me what to do in my own house ..." ...
"Lousy big-shot, thinks he's so big cos he's got alot of guns but if he didn't have any guns I'd show him a thing or too- happens if he walked into my store then we'll see who's worried about 'five day waiting' period-"

Marge's famous "Hmmm" is missing at 0:14
Homer Simpson with a gun is a scary thought.
We finally see what Sam the barfly's does for work at 2:14.
Oh i Dont need anything like that.
Yyyyyyet !
God this pure laugh !
Still got this on VHS
A VH what now?

Modern day USA gun policies in a nutshell.
+Henry Barnill Ironically, in the U.S it's the cities with the strictest gun control that are the most dangerous.
+collin ohlinger I'm not saying gun control is the answer but something needs to be done.
Henry Barnill Like?
+collin ohlinger I don't have the answer, other than we can't just accept this as a normal thing and move on.
Henry Barnill You know that gun death in general has been in constant decrease for years. Also it's best to point out that over two thirds annual gun deaths are suicides.
This episode got banned from airing in some countries because of the offensive themes.
Why does all the clips for the Cartridge Family cut off the part where Homer says "Pushy kids think they can tell me what to do in my house, Why, I tell you these parents these days they don't know how to rear children"
Lots of censorship these days. Always better to have the older DVDS
@@markmorris76 Do they omitted that on Disney+ episodes?
Childhood used to watch this on vhs 10 years ago
Thanks to guns, you only have one chance to dislike this answer.
Okay when Homer buying a gun 🔫
Good store owner
Wow, I didn't realize the Q13 logo has been used that long!
Ex Con is a nice name for business
Annie Oakley. I had to look that reference up
Damn kids think they can deal me what to do in my own house. I tell you, people these days don't know how to raise children.
still relevant today
Ooooh, I like the sound of that!
Wanted to see why this was banned in the UK
God Save The King
U have to be careful with guns. U don't play with a gun even if it's not loaded.
And "U" Need to learn how to spell...
and they never had a tv remote for the remainder of the series
You think 5 days is bad. Try waiting anything from 30 days to until the end of time for your firearms licence in Canada.
I like 30 days at most, but 90 days to 9 months is ridiculous! I read a story of a woman who tried to buy a handgun for protection because she had a retraining order against someone, they told she had to wait 30 days, she was killed by this person on day 49. That blood is on my government's hands.
Maybe she should have 'retrained' in another weapon style like Sai.
@@trip2themoon who do you think she was? Mileena from mortal kombat?

The joke is that the truck logo looks like a target for Homer to shoot.
This whole episode is a plot hole! Why would Marge not want a gun in the house? The Simpsons have owned several guns during the series.
Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
A wizard did it
Banned episode in usa
If no one has ever seen this episode, do yourself a favor and watch it. It is some great, biting satire of how the U.S. sees guns.

I now understand it cuz I've been to a bath and beyond.
