Gun shop sketch

I just recently discovered "The Richard Pryor" show by way of an all day marathon today on TVone. I loved it! One sketch in particular really got to me, though. The sketch where Richard goes into a gun shop. He's greeted by a Travis Bickle look alike who greets him with the classic "You talkin' to me?" line. Richard then goes around the shop browsing all the different guns, who proceed to tell him all the horrible, terrible things they have done and all the pain they have caused. There was no laugh track needed because this wasn't comedy, this was pure social commentary, and I think it was pure genius. I almost cried watching it. I'm sure there will be people who will say it was a piece of lefty liberal propaganda or whatever, but I thought it was just brilliant.
