Kimmel got emotional talking about the shooting in Las Vegas, where he and his bandleader were raised. He also devoted his monologue to lashing out at politicians who don’t do anything in response to mass shootings. “Of course, there was something we can do about it,” he said. “There are a lot of things we can do about it. But we don’t. Which is interesting, because when someone with a beard attacks us, we tap phones, we invoke travel bans, we build walls. We take every possible precaution to make sure it doesn’t happen again. But when an American buys a gun and kills other Americans, then there’s nothing we can do about that. Because the Second Amendment. Our forefathers wanted us to have AK47s, is the argument.”
