Samantha Bee chases an Eagle and meets her gun-touting competition

The Full Frontal host just wants her own Eddie Eagle (not to be confused with Eddie The Eagle) costume, to perform “delicious satire.” But she’s thwarted at every turn because the NRA wants to make sure Eddie’s majestic, plastic beak doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. Bee’s crew is met with far less resistance when buying firearms—one person buys a gun out of a stranger’s trunk, while her producer passes a background check in mere seconds (and without an internet connection).

And gun sales are about to run a little bit smoother, now that Gun TV is finally on the air. We reported on the home-firearms-shopping network last December, which Bee has learned is being hosted by multiple women. She declares “lady late-night war” on the gun-touting (and toting) hosts, but backs off at the sight of an exploding watermelon.
