Last year, Florida enacted a law banning doctors from asking their patients if they own a gun. Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper is on it. To understand (and, well, mock) the rationale for the "Docs vs. Glocks" law, Klepper interviewed Noel Flasterstein, a second amendment attorney, who argued that the bill could lead to "Holocaust 2" and downplayed the 3,000 annual gun deaths among 14- to 25-year-olds, a statistic he cited himself.
For the other side, Klepper talked with Dr. Toni Richards-Rowley, a pediatrician and "buzzkill." And as his icing on the cake, Klepper interviewed Marco Prisco, who owns a pool business — and welcomed pediatricians discussing pool safety with parents and kids. It gets a little intense, like when Klepper messes with Flasterstein over mental illness, so he ended the segment with a little comic relief, sporting a gunshot wound in a room full of doctors.
