Samantha Bee tells NRA members to break free — and join Scientology

In the wake of the Parkland school shooting, the National Rifle Association is facing a lot of scrutiny from Americans who are tired of gun violence.

So, in a new PSA aired on Wednesday, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee offered some advice to NRA members — break free and join Scientology instead.

In one minute, Bee skewers both groups. “Is Scientology safe?" she asks. "Of course not! It’s bonkers, but it’s safer for the rest of us.”

It's quite something. Bee continues, “Who needs a rifle to defend themselves when, as an OT VII, you could blow someone away with your brain?”
