Yet again, the state of Arizona is the subject of one of Comedy Central’s “news” programs, this time thanks to Tucson gun advocates who are “standing up for guns.”
This time, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart profiled the gun worshipers who are protesting the gun-buyback programs in Tucson, as well as Republican-turned-Democrat Tucson councilman and “gun Hitler” Steve Kozachik.

(Answer: Every rational person.)
