Jon Stewart's plea for gun control

So, you don't object to a ban on assault rifles, since in your words, it isn't anything special, and you don't need any of those attachments, right?

Personally, I agree with this sentiment. The problem is two fold.
1. Defining an assault rifle in a way that doesn't include hunting/sporting rifles.
2. Once reasonable minded gun owners give up ground on an "assault rifle" and it doesn't solve the gun problem, what's next?
