And the guy will never, ever, recognize the irony.
Rebecca Shapiro said:During the segment, Baron Cohen was in character as Col. Erran Morad, an Israeli anti-terror expert and self-proclaimed “Terrorist Terminator.” In response to mass shootings in America, Morad said he developed a program called “Kinder Guardians,” which trains U.S. toddlers in preschools to use firearms.

“Maybe having many young people trained and understand how to defend themselves and their school might actually make us safer here,” Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) says, appearing to read off a cue card.

I don't understand how killing someone by recklessly cleaning your gun can be a blameless while killing someone driving recklessly can carry a felony and a lengthy sentence.
Cleaning a loaded gun is reckless, though.Those people are not necessarily "recklessly" cleaning their guns. Guns are just inherently much more dangerous than cars, even if used "correctly" (and more so if used incorrectly). All it needs is a moment of inattention to cause a tragedy.
Which is why sensible nations try to keep them out of people's hands as far as possible.
