"The Daily Show" aired its final episode of 2012 on December 13, just one day before a gunman shot 27 people in Newtown, Conn., renewing a national debate about America's gun control laws. Back for its second episode of the new year on Tuesday, Jon Stewart finally got the chance to tackle the media's response to the Sandy Hook massacre.
Fighting though a hoarse voice and a cold, Stewart spent most of his show on a segment called "Scapegoat Hunter," railing against some gun advocates' insistence on blaming everything but guns for gun violence. He even pulled out a plastic rifle, a la David Gregory.
