JON STEWART: "[A]t some point, the perfectly acceptable support for sane gun ownership got mixed up in the whole national culture war mess. Why would you be talking about [Obamacare, gay marriage, Solyndra, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, etc.] at a gun convention, unless you think somehow guns are part of the solution to these cultural disagreements?"

EX-SEN. RICK SANTORUM, R-PA: "I think we need to step back and face the music. America has changed. We are not the same country. The other side is winning."

JON STEWART: "And that's why you need a gun! (The NRA convention is like the fortune cookie game "In Bed", except here the answer is always, "You need a gun!") But here's what they miss. What the other side is winning are elections, a peaceful contest between two competing viewpoints. And your solution seems to be less, "we need more electable candidates and a more nuanced viewpoint", and more, "LOCK AND LOAD, MOTHERFUCKER!" And the lack of self-awareness, that ain't helping."

SEN. MARCO RUBIO, R-FL: "They like to paint us as paranoid bitter people."

JON STEWART: "No, no! We asked you to paint us a self-portrait, and this is what you came up with. Maybe we'd find your mission less paranoid if the vision of the world you present resembled in any way--the world."
