I definitely don't agree with their deal on gun control, Hell, I don't agree with a lot of what they say, but it's fun, no less.

Some of their arguments are stupid.

"Who will rob or rape with a 50% chance that their victim will have a gun?"

Actually, guys, it's been demonstrated that LTL (Less than lethal) defenses are not a deterrent. Not because they're not lethal, but because they tend to not be used. People are prone to freeze when using even a less than lethal weapon on an attacker, which brings in another problem:

If you freeze with a gun, you've just given your assailant a weapon.

People aren't more likely to fire with a firearm.

Nor are crime rates significantly lower in states with more guns.

They are in some (Vermont), but actually higher in others (Texas; ironically, they fail to mention this, but then later in the series bring it up when thrashing the death penalty).

But, again, I don't watch for cold hard facts. I watch because they're fucking hilarious.
