In the wake of a mass shooting that left 59 dead and more than 520 people hurt, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "There's a time and place for a political debate, but now is a time to unite as a country."
Well, The Daily Show's Trevor Noah thinks that's BS. On Monday night, he called out politicians and members of the media who claimed right now is not the time to talk about gun control.

"I feel like people are becoming more accustomed to this kind of news," he said, noting there have been 20 mass shootings in the two years he's lived in the United States.
After the latest shooting — in which a gunman fired at a country music concert from his Las Vegas hotel room — pundits even turned to hotel security as a possible culprit. Instead of, you know, sane gun laws.
"We seem to do everything to avoid talking about guns," Noah said.
The talk show host pointed out that Congress was still considering the Sportsman's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act, which would make it easier to buy silencers and armor-piercing bullets.
"I can only say I’m sorry," Noah told the people of Las Vegas, "sorry that we live in a world where people would put a gun before your lives."
