I will add that I think that Jones did this to primarily boost his ratings. He strikes me as a cross between a sleazy used car salesman and a televangelist who is full of shit.
Indeed,
I saw some of the interview, Jones succeeded in only embarrassing himself.
Jones and his ilk are greater enemies of the Second Amendment than any gun grabber.
The problem is that the Gun Nuts arguments don't hold up to scrutiny.
The two reason gun nuts give for wanting guns.
1) "I need to protect myself and my family from the criminals out there!" Except a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a member of the household than a criminal. We lock up 2 million people, (more than any country in the world) and have 300 million guns, and we have the highest crime rates in the industrialized world.
2) "I need to have a gun for that day when the government goes to far and we have to overthrow it!" - They are more likely to say this when a Democrat is in office. A Republican can spy on Americans, demand lists of your library loans, toture people in secret prisons, and they enthusiastically support that. A Democrat says, "Maybe you should buy health insurance", and it's the worst tyranny ever.
Of course, the absurdity of this is that you have guns. The government has tanks, planes, missiles, drones, cannons.
