Due to numerous shootings and massacres all around the country, gun control activists, as well as comedians, are speaking out against possession of weapons. Comedians such as Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jim Jefferies have assumed the role of activists in seeking gun control by expressing their views on the topic through media.
