(<em>Photo: Brad Barket\/Invision\/AP<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Comedian Jon Stewart made a joke this week about purchasing AR-15s.<\/p>\n<p>Before a crowd of veterans attending the \u201cStand Up for Heroes\u201d benefit at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden, Stewart launched into a bit about the relative ease at which one can purchase America\u2019s most popular rifle.<\/p>\n<p>After filling out an application and waiting two weeks, &#8220;they called to schedule a home visit to make sure the environment was going to be appropriate,&#8221; Stewart said, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/life\/people\/2018\/11\/06\/jon-stewart-guns-its-harder-adopt-cat-than-get-ar-15-stand-up-heroes\/1900116002\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jon-stewart-on-buying-ars-its-harder-to-adopt-a-cat\" title=\"Jon Stewart on Buying ARs: \u2018It\u2019s Harder to Adopt a Cat\u2019\">USA Today<\/a>. &#8220;You know what? Never mind, sorry. I tried to adopt a cat. I got an AR-15 in three minutes online. It&#8217;s harder to adopt a (expletive) cat than to get an AR-15. What is wrong with us?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stewart also lambasted the inaction on gun control following the recent shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re going to do, man,&#8221; Stewart said. &#8220;Remember after the shooting? You know, not the one two weeks ago or the one two weeks before that. And not the one three days ago. Anyway, we&#8217;re not going to (expletive) do anything. I don&#8217;t understand why we&#8217;re not doing anything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If other people kill us, we will make (soldiers) go to their place forever. That&#8217;s basically how Americans learn geography now,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But if we kill each other, we do nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hero-alabama-mcdonalds\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jon-stewart-on-buying-ars-its-harder-to-adopt-a-cat\" title=\"Jon Stewart on Buying ARs: \u2018It\u2019s Harder to Adopt a Cat\u2019\">Father Hailed as Hero After Fatally Shooting Gunman at Alabama McDonald\u2019s<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Buried in that punchline is the real solution to mass killings. Stewart\u2019s just too blind to see it. Si vis pacem, para bellum. Translation: If you want peace, prepare for war.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why we put boots on the ground in a foreign land when we\u2019re attacked is to confront the next attacker before they have the opportunity to take innocent lives.<\/p>\n<p>The same philosophy should apply to homegrown mass killers, albeit in a civilian-driven capacity. End gun-free zones. Empower citizens to take responsibility for their personal safety by, among other things, exercising their 2A rights. And you\u2019ve effectively put an end to soft targets.<\/p>\n<p>Will mass killers continue to crop up from time to time? Sure. Because there\u2019s no way to vanquish crazy altogether. But instead of reading stories where almost a dozen unarmed people are killed at a place of worship, we\u2019ll start reading more stories <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hero-alabama-mcdonalds\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jon-stewart-on-buying-ars-its-harder-to-adopt-a-cat\" title=\"Jon Stewart on Buying ARs: \u2018It\u2019s Harder to Adopt a Cat\u2019\">highlighting people like that heroic concealed carrier<\/a> who fatally shot a crazed gunman at a McDonald\u2019s in Alabama last month, likely saving the lives of everyone inside the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Trust me, Jon.
