Wednesday’s episode of the TBS weekly late-night show
Full Frontal featured host Samantha Bee dedicating the entire episode to arguing for specific gun control measures that she says would be effective in an effort to stop gun violence in America. The episode was full of false claims.
The episode was titled, “Full Frontal Wants to Take Your Guns.” Bee’s main focus was to push for universal background checks and automobile-like safety regulations for firearms. She justified the need for these policies by claiming 40,000 people are killed in America each year by gun violence.
The segment opened with Bee describing America as a “hellscape of a country” where there “is a shooting” almost every day.
