Stephen Colbert doesn’t understand why the National Rifle Association is upset that rental car company Enterprise cut ties with the gun rights group, ending discounts for members at its locations.
Using his personal account on Twitter, the CBS “Late Show” host wrote:
I’m surprised the NRA was affiliated with car rental companies at all, considering Hertz and Avis enforce tyrannical rules like "age restrictions" and "having a license."

Colbert’s tweet drew more than 30,000 likes and hundreds of replies in less than an hour, including these:
“Speed limits and road rules are the first step to taking away our cars!”

"What's next, are cops gonna pull me over and ask to see some kinda license or registration?"

Don’t forget the Tyranny of Insurance.

seriously I had to wait until I was 25 to rent a car, but hey, 18 is good for semi-automatic weapons.
