Dutch satirical tv show tackles America’s ‘devastating’ rifle disease

October 9, 2017

Dutch satirical television show Zondag met Lubach has again take the opportunity to highlight absurdities outside the Netherlands – this time with a video lampooning the National Rifle Association in the US.

The video highlights the problems being caused by the ‘Nonsensical Rifle Addiction’ in the US. Describing the problem as a ‘devastating humanitarian crisis,’ the video points out that ‘24,000 people have been injured and 11,000 killed’ this year alone.

Arjen Lubach previously hit the headlines with a Game of Thrones spoof trailer for his new series and an invitation to US president Donald Trump to ‘make the Netherlands second.’
