It was Johnson\u2019s third time hosting the show, with Turnstile appearing as the musical guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbc.com\/saturday-night-live?dclid=CNeytYCezewCFchtwQodWEMEsw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-guns-for-women-sketch-anti-gun\" title=\"Funny or Anti-Gun?

It needs to be \u201cwarmed up\u201d before it works. Instead of going \u201cbang,\u201d it shouts, \u201cHey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheryl also paraphrases the famous defensive-gun slogan by declaring, \u201cThe only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good girl with a va-gun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When another woman objects that owning a firearm is dangerous, an apparent <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/appendix-carry-accidental-discharge-glock-23\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-guns-for-women-sketch-anti-gun\" title=\"Funny or Anti-Gun?

It is also supposedly sold at \u201cthe opposite of <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfield-armory-dicks-sporting-goods\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-guns-for-women-sketch-anti-gun\" title=\"Funny or Anti-Gun?

The accidental discharge leans into the idea that firearms create danger inside the home. The \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrablog.com\/articles\/2016\/7\/a-good-guy-with-a-gun\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-guns-for-women-sketch-anti-gun\" title=\"Funny or Anti-Gun?

Others may view it as another SNL sketch portraying gun owners as insecure, reckless or foolish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what did you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Was \u201cGuns for Women\u201d simply an absurd, raunchy joke about marketing <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/shooting-history1913-production-colt-1911-old-gun-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-guns-for-women-sketch-anti-gun\" title=\"Funny or Anti-Gun?
