The Saturday Night Live (SNL) Guns skit was actually pretty funny, according to 83% of viewers who voted on it in an online poll. It is not hard to see why it received an 83% rating. Its message is completely ambiguous and will be taken different ways by different people. This is good comedy but bad politics for disarmists
It aired on 11 October, 2015. The skit is being advertised as a way to promote Comedienne Amy Schumers (yes, she is related to the infamous disarmist Charles Schumer) disarmist campaign. She obviously thinks that what the skit shows is so over the top as to advocate for much stricter limits on gun ownership.
What most of Americans see is a parody on how common and ubiquitous guns have been and become in American society. As anti-gun advocacy, the SNL Guns skit is a complete bust, and is likely counterproductive.

Most people are visual learners. In the video, guns are presented at happy, life enhancing events. A marriage proposal, a new love, life affirming exercise, a gift from a close family member, and the birth of a child.

I actually LIKED IT!.
It’s a GREAT commercial for the 2A................................
Looks like they pilfered from the movie, La Femme Nikita.
The YouTube comments are great, too.
I just emailed it to my circle.....................
I love that half the comments on youtube are how the morons at SNL didn’t practice good gun safety etiquette.
SNL practiced “Hollyweird gun safety”
She looks like Miss Piggy in the flesh........................
I just emailed it to my circle.....................
Good idea. I’ll do that, too.
LOL No Muzzies are going to go near her.
Strange, I bought my wife a Ruger SR22 for our 27th Anniversary, and a Glock 42 for Christmas, and she had the same reaction, sans the unsafe gun handling.
she is a cousin to Chuck Schumer and has joined his anti-civil rights campaign.
Barney Stinson: Ted, it's a well known statistic that 83% of people married longer than six months are seeing someone on the side.
Ted: Do you know that whenever you make up a statistic you always use 83%?
Everybody uses 83% - Prime number, it sounds high, but believable
