Comedy legend Jackie Mason really gets it when it comes to gun control, and he’s not afraid to explain the issue to anyone willing to listen.

“Everybody who’s fighting for gun control, you know what they’re doing?” Mason asks in his latest video for Breitbart.com. “They’re causing more and more people to get killed, that’s exactly what they’re doing.”

Mason also addressed politicians who push for gun control while being protected by their own armed bodyguards.

“What do you think these bodyguard are carrying, cheesecake?” he asked. “So a gun is there to protect him, because he doesn’t care if you live or die.

“Do you know how sick it is to claim that you’re protecting a guy by not allowing him to carry a gun?”
