I stay away from Chris Rock due to his profanity and constant use of the "N" word. I like comedians who can make me laugh without such negativity. But I do like some of the music from Prince, so I decided to watch Saturday Night Live this November first. It is their 40th anniversary.


Putting him on "family television" would calm down most of his rhetoric, and something might even make me laugh. So I was surprised when he mentions that he attended an anti gun meet with some other celebrities and received death threats via his site. I guess no one is safe if they decide to stand up to what they believe is a danger or situation where guns might hurt people.


It wasn't, according to Rock, a major thing that he did. Basically, he stated no one should own a machine gun and live next door to a school. Sounds rational to me. But the main idea people all over would hate him and threaten his life is what irks me, especially I share Chris Rocks anti gun beliefs. He had stated earlier in his career he grew up in a neighborhood where gun fire was common. I did not but with everything that I read in the newspapers there should be less of guns out there and more control if we are to have them. Him being on television talking about this right before our gun debate in class I thought was perfect timing. If I can post a link of his opening monologue I will.
