"So, what do we do?"
In the wake of the tragic shootings in Colorado Springs and San Bernardino, Stephen Colbert posed the question to his audience on Monday. The "Late Show" host first defended prayer as a way to share the burden of grief but said that if we want change, it shouldn't stop there.
"There has to be some way to make it harder to build up an arsenal. The San Bernardino shooters had 6,000 rounds of ammunition. Why is it so easy to buy bullets when I have to show three forms of ID to buy Sudafed?" asked Colbert.

What, exactly, is being done with that ID for purchasing Sudafed that would likewise guard against misuse of ammo purchase? Show they’re over 18?

Bill Bradley? The 2000 prezzy hopeful who called for national registration of guns & federal licensing of all owners? He ran to the left of Al Gore if that’s possible.
The former basketball star is now just another liberal scold.

He left out that the guvmint will still have their firearms. That frightens me more.

Colbert makes a powerful argument for lobotomies for celebrities.

Not that Bill Bradley.
This one...
Bill is an associate TV editor at The Huffington Post. He likes late night TV shows, going to Taco Bell and drinking chocolate milk. And having unprotected sex with his boyfriend.
He-he, my little addendum.

So, what do we do when the day comes that all guns are magically removed from the world and 15 gang members come into your home and do whatever they want?
So, what do we do when the government does what they always do when they disarm the people and kill 100 million of us?

If Stephen Colbert picked up a gun, do you suppose he would know which end the bullets come out of?

and if you purchase ammo from Gander Mountain you will show ID also.
Yeah, I know. I was there, and they asked for ID, so I pulled out my DL and my debit card. She said "Strip down, facing left". I was like "oh, crap... what did they find on my DL search?
So I did like I was told, and then turned my head to see if they were arresting me, only to discover in horror that she was telling me how to swipe my debit card in the machine.

The little fairy princess Colbert couldn’t make a strong argument for his own existence, let alone something he doesn’t have a clue about like guns.

Title should read “A Powerful, though unconstitutional, argument.”

“pointed out that if guns were outlawed, and outlaws were then the only ones with guns, at least we’d know who the outlaws are.”
Just like we know who has all of the other “illegal” stuff like crack, meth, weed, child porn only AFTER they are caught with it!
A terrorist or criminal isn’t going to telegraph to your sorry @ss that he has a gun until it go time. And then you are SOL.
To: Quickgun
He writes in the classic SJW/Hipster/Millennial method of telling you what to think in the title. It's done lots in click-bait articles, but it's especially odious when it's done by supposed journalists.
Stephen Colbert Makes A Powerful Argument
Says who? And why do you feel the need to express an opinion in what I assume is supposed to be a piece of "journalism"?
