Comedian and “The Opposition” host Jordan Klepper recently sat down with CNN’s Brian Stelter to share his thoughts on the gun control debate. Unfortunately for Klepper, what he demonstrated was profound ignorance when it comes to our Constitution and the way America works:
In America's debate about guns, "there's not enough attention paid to what the majority wants," @JordanKlepper told me https://t.co/6beZI1sikf

So not a serious discussion on gun violence then, thanks again Brian.

Yep. That’s it in a nutshell.
First of all, it appears that in Klepper’s mind, “the majority” represents anyone who agrees with him and the handful of Parkland students who have been turned into gun control mouthpieces.
Agreed. You should have more 2A advocates on your program like @KyleKashuv to better represent the majority.

And second of all, “what the majority wants” isn’t the basis for our system of government.

Hmmmmm…it's almost as if republics are set up not to simply go along with what the majority wants.
