The NFL—and the rest of America—was rocked by the news that the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade was cut short by a tragic mass shooting that killed one and injured 21 others. Chiefs players and the rest of the league stood in solidarity with the community as the Chiefs Kingdom attempt to navigate their way through the tragedy.
Such a high-profile event brought the topic of gun control back into the spotlight, and one public figure took the opportunity to explain to the entire world the importance of gun control in terms almost everyone can understand.
The Daily Show‘s Jordan Klepper uses NFL analogy to explain the importance of strict gun control measures
During one of the most recent The Daily Show episodes, correspondent Jordan Klepper took the opportunity to explain that there needs to be a drastic change in the way this country deals with mass shootings.
As reported by Daily Beast’s Jennifer M. Wood, Klepper argued that more than 800 members of the Kansas City police weren’t able to completely stop the tragedy from happening. He explained that the country should change its tactics against gun-related violence through football:
“America needs a defensive strategy that will stop a guy from getting the ball in the first place. Not just hope someone tackles him before he gets to the end zone. That’s not a winning strategy—unless you’re playing the Jets.”
Klepper took the analogy even further when he stated that “we need to limit the size of the ball. That ball is a weapon of war; the Founders didn’t anticipate the ball would be this big; I’m in too deep with this metaphor. I hear it now. You get the idea.”
Gun control is a sensitive topic that goes beyond what is happening in the football field. However, the entire NFL will agree that such senseless violence needs to find a proper solution. They can only hope that the right answer to this issue comes sooner than later.
