Daily Show producers say it's pretty certain that the segment featuring Brady President Paul Helmke will air tonight (on Comedy Central at 11pm/10c). Tune in!

They seem pretty excited about it. Another one in their favor? I hope not. "Bastards"

Just shows how desperate they are. The judge actually used arguments from the losing side of Heller to rule against the plaintiffs in Heller II. I think there is no doubt that this will be won when the full circuit hears it.

WTF

John Piercedid an awesome job, although I feel there was not a need to compare Open Carry to a gay lifestyle, one has nothing to do with another, seems like a second agenda there. Why did they use the gay pride rainbows to mark the states showing Open Carry?And did I miss something? Thereare only 12 states that allow open carry, and we're not one of them?I think this would have been better with Jon Stewart, I do understand them using race for a camparison on discrimination,but what we do is a choice, not something we're born with. Leave it to the Daily Show. (do we really all have about the same body type?)

I for one thought this was hilarious. If you do not have enough of a sense of humor to enjoy

this piece then I may suggest you are too uptight to carry in the first place. John Stewart and

most at the Daily show are not going to align with us in this debate anyway and I think we got

off pretty easy considering the source.

this was funny, and much better than the other two. Nice to see them denounce Paul Hempe. I just didnt think they needed to add other issues in with it. Loved it when he saidthat he had been with pierce and his partner all day, and no one had been robbed while they were there.

Edited to add. I still think the interview with Paul Hempe would have been better with Jon. I think Jon could have hit a few more nerves.

John Peirce himself hasmade the comparison that Open Carry to gun owners are like gays coming out of the closet.As ahetero Ifind no offense in that comparison.

By comparing us to homosexuals (which I personally know and met a few who practice open carry too) does nothing but help our cause with liberal minded folks anyway.

Correct. This is a masterful way to get the liberals and moderates to open their minds and think a bit. Use their own logic against them. I actually love the argument, I am tired of hiding that I am a gun owner (whether I OC or CC). It is time for all of us to come out and let the nation know that we are all just like them.

I think that unintentionally John Stewart might have helped our cause with this comparison too.

I do know one thing, as many friends as I have lost due to alcohol related accidents. It's to bad the Brady Campaigners dont put their inthusiasm into protesting something that has killed more peoplethan handguns. Or maybe find a way to rid the world of the biggest killer of them all. Mosquitos.

You talking about "the fog"? It was DDT? They used to bring the trucks round every two weeks in the summer back in IL. We used to run out in the street and play in it, when they did. :?You know thinking about it....

They forgot Washington on their map.

And any press is good press, I think.

And come on. They made Brady to sound like a "gunophobe." I thought it was hilarious.

I have to admit that tying OC to OG (openly gay) was a bit of brilliance considering it was delivered to a mostly liberal audience. Of course, anti-gunners will counter with the idea that "gay" didn't kill four officers in a coffee shop but if we compare the body count of STDs vs. Firearms, I'd be willing to bet that criminal pistol use is only a little more lethal than irresponsible (i.e., promiscuous, unprotected) sex.
