With no progress being made on gun reform beyond the proverbial "thoughts and prayers" in the wake of the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting, Full Frontal's Samantha Bee addressed the National Rifle Association in a new PSA video, urging them to break away from the NRA and join Scientology instead.




"Guns don't kill political careers, the NRA does," Bee said, referring to the amount of NRA's ad spending intimidating lawmakers.

The host's epiphany of both groups being cultish was inspired by a comment made by former NRA Executive Vice President J. Warren Cassidy's statement from January 2016, who said that the association is like a religion. Bee couldn't agree more.



"Yes, the NRA is like a religion. Specifically, the best religion – Scientology," she said.

Bee supported her logic by stating the fact that both groups are cults anyway.

Both of these cults are based on fanciful myths that when repeated enough, their otherwise intelligent followers start to believe. One says that 75 million years ago, an intergalactic warlord nuked billions of people in volcanoes. And then there's the really crazy myth that guns have nothing to do with gun violence.




She added that both organizations have delusions of grandeur and also hate the press, so why not unite for a common cause?

Both of these messianic cults push the narrative that only they can save the world. But if you join them, you can share in their power – they'll make you a superhero, whether that means healing the sick with your mind or making a kill shot on a mass murder despite being unable to even hit the toilet bowl when you're taking a leak. And the only thing you need to do get that awesome power is to keep buying things from them.



So she encouraged the NRA to team up with L. Ron Hubbard's notorious religious program.

"Scientology can fill all the holes in your soul that the NRA currently does," explained Bee. "It will bless you with fear, power fantasies, a creepily ageless leader and merch."



"Is Scientology safe?" she asked in the PSA. "Of course not. It's bonkers."

"But it's safer for the rest of us," she assured.



You can watch the clip of Bee drawing comparisons between the two groups in the video below.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
