Classic Hollywood: take a commonsense argument, parody it, and put it in the mouth of a buffoon to make the argument look foolish. Propaganda 101.
Ding ding ding
They made his argument seem stupid the way they framed it.
But what's so strange is how much damn sense it makes. Sure, not the part about passing out pistols on planes like peanuts, but it's hard to believe those libs actually wrote this script.
When you mock the truth, the truth still comes out.
When TV was good!
aaand there's rob reiner.

Commenter Sky Surfer:
Reiner Has Gone From Being A Meathead To Being A Meatloaf!😅
The way South Park depicted him is perfect.
Now there's some funny shit.
dont give meatloaf a bad name, let him rest in peace, fren/
My bad.
;-)
They couched it as ridiculous. To seed it into the minds of Americans that those concepts are ridiculous.
Exactamundo fren. This skit is slandering the notions set forth by Bunker. The track audience laughter is indicator enough I would think.
Sure, is he speaking the truth/solutions? May very well be, but this skit is conditioning the viewer in dismissing aforementioned solutions as "ridiculous and comical".
Makes sense to me.
think how much nicer people would be if they all know that everyone was packing heat!
A armed society has Always been a polite society. And Samuel Colt made warriors out of the meek.
Love it
I never saw that one. The meathead is STILL the meathead and that's being kind.

Meathead is still meathead
Meat Head was spot on at the end (minus the sarcasm).
