'Guns!' says a character played by Goggins.
'Excuse me?' Johnson asks, with Goggins simply repeating himself.
'I don't hate that,' says a delegate played by Mikey Day.
'Well, I do. It's ridiculous,' says Johnson. 'Sir, what is your name?'
(It's Matt.)
'Matt what?' asks Johnson.
'Matt Don't You Worry About It,' says Goggins.
'Well, Matt, what will posterity say of us if the second right we enshrine in this document is simply guns?' Johnson wonders.
'That we don't play,' he says.
'Damn, that's actually kind of sick,' says Andrew Dismukes, one of a group of delegates who quickly come to take Matt's side.
Johnson says 'this is ludicrous,' with Day arguing, 'We did just make a law that said anyone can say whatever crazy stuff they want, right? Maybe this gun thing would kind of balance that out.'
'Bingo,' says Goggins.
'Okay, yes. But by the same token, wouldn't having a gun embolden people to say crazy stuff as well?' Johnson asks.
'Bro, what?' asks Goggins.
'Gentlemen, we cannot just have an amendment that says 'guns.' What about guns?' asks Johnson.
'Having them,' Goggins asserts.
Johnson says he's open to discussing guns 'for a later amendment,' but insists on moving on to more pressing concerns for the moment. He asks Matt which state he's from, with Goggins' character replying, 'a united one.'
'Have guns? Really, gentlemen? That's what we want the second amendment to be? 'Have guns.' That sounds idiotic,' says Johnson.
'Just chill. Not have guns. Bear arms,' Goggins replies.
'Ah, yeah. Okay. I'm freaking sold. I'm writing it down,' says Johnson.
With that, Matt's work is done, and he turns to leave the room.
'Wait, Matt, will we ever see you again?' asks Johnson, with Goggins replying, 'Depends on where you look.'
'Nobody ever did see him' though, a narrator tells us, 'as he was shot minutes after leaving the room.'
Goggins hosted tonight, with Arcade Fire as musical guest. Watch the full sketch above.

The former New Jersey governor said Trump just wanted 'someone to blame' for poor job numbers.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped President Donald Trump as a 'petulant child' on Sunday for his dramatic firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Christie said Trump just needed 'someone to blame because he won't take the responsibility himself' about the July jobs report, where the bureau reported the U.S. had only added a paltry 73,000 new jobs. The bureau also sharply revised down the May and June jobs reports, prompting Trump to fire BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer and accuse her of having 'RIGGED' the report to make him look bad. 'This is the action of a petulant child,' Christie said on ABC's This Week. "Like, 'You give me bad news, I fire the messenger.'"

Is Marvel and DC's New Crossover The Big-Screen Pitch Hollywood Should Pay Attention To? — GeekTyrant
The age-old Marvel vs. DC debate is about to hit a whole new level, and for once, it's not about who's better. It's about what happens when these two universes collide. For decades, fans have dreamed of a crossover event, and while Hollywood has never delivered, Marvel Comics and DC are stepping up in a way that should make Marvel Studios and DC Studios pay attention. Starting this September, the ultimate team-up kicks off with Deadpool/Batman #1, published by Marvel, followed in November by DC's Batman/Deadpool #1. You can't get more high-profile than the Merc with a Mouth and the Dark Knight, and both one-shots come loaded with all-star creative talent. Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo headline the first issue, while DC returns fire with its own stacked lineup. But the crossover doesn't stop there. Backup stories bring even more iconic pairings together: Daredevil teams with Green Arrow in a story by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert; Jeff the Land Shark meets Krypto courtesy of Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru; and perhaps the most symbolic matchup of all… Captain America and Wonder Woman, crafted by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson. Dodson even delivers a stunning cover featuring Cap and Diana side by side, a visual that screams cinematic potential. And that's the thing. Comics are giving fans what they've craved for decades, but why stop there? Hollywood is sitting on a goldmine. Marvel Studios is trying to regain its momentum after a rocky stretch, while James Gunn's DC Universe is just getting started with Superman. A crossover event on the big screen could be the ultimate box office play, injecting fresh energy into both franchises and breaking records along the way. When previously talking about the idea Gunn said: 'We've talked about it a billion times. That could easily happen, but simultaneous to that, I think it would be interesting. But I also think people are a little over it.' Gunn then offers a smart outlook on things: 'I think people wanna see good stories with their superheroes and that's what matters. And they wanna see different types of stories with their superheroes. And people love superheroes. That's obvious, but they need more variety, and they need just more quality storytelling. 'And just having Spider-Man and Superman team up isn't gonna do it if it's sh-t. So it's gotta come from a real place, and it's really hard to make that work.' I 100% agree, and while it would be pretty awesome to see a Marvel and DC crossover on the big screen, it's not going to happen for a very very long time… if ever. It sure is fun, though, to imagine Wonder Woman and Captain America sharing the screen along with Batman and Deadpool bantering in live-action. It's the kind of cinematic event fans, and box office analysts, dream about. Variant covers tease even more jaw-dropping face-offs: Artgerm pits Magik against Catwoman, Steve McNiven unleashes Wolverine versus Batman, and Peach Momoko pairs Elektra with Batgirl. These aren't just cool covers—they're blueprints for billion-dollar matchups. Do you think the studios should start jumping into this crossovers, or should they stay in their respective universes?
