Samantha Bee Learns It's Easier To Buy A Gun Than A NRA Eddie Eagle Costume



Samantha Bee hit back on the NRA again tonight, this time hitting on their silly regulation of their stupid Eddie Eagle mascot.

After seeing how mockable the Eddie Eagle costume was, Bee set about the task of getting one. And that's where the trouble began.

"But it turned out the organization that makes it easier to get a gun than Sudafed, makes it nearly impossible to acquire their giant dancing eagle," Bee lamented.

Her first task was to complete the NRA's 18-page costume application, which includes 36 rules and regulations which Bee interprets as their way to keep her from "living out her eagle-taunting fantasies."

You'll be shocked to discover there's a mandatory waiting period before that costume could get to her, assuming she was approved to get one in the first place. TWENTY DAYS!

However, while discovering Eddie's trademark was locked down tight so a used Eddie costume was out of the question, she was able to buy a gun online from Armslist.com without any wait at all!

Glad this issue is at the forefront of the Dem. primary agenda. Such an enormous contrast with the NRA-subsidized Repubs.

happy, jumpy shit on his mainstream show. Celebrity chat is boring, too.

But I can't get me enough Samantha. Verizon is making me wait until Friday to see her whole show (not On Demand yet).

I also hate missing Larry Wilmore. His crew cracks me up, especially Grace Parra and Mike Yard.

should be part of an ad campaign. You have to wait 20 days to be approved for a stupid eagle costume, but can buy a gun in minutes.
