Anecdotes
The comment George made about the government thinking of banning toy guns (and keeping the real ones) was because at the time of the special, the federal government was debating such a move based on incidents where children were killed by police when they mistook certain toy guns, like the Entertech water guns (which were promoted as looking, feeling, and sounding like their real counterparts) and the Laser Tag blasters, as real guns, and also in the case of the Entertech guns, being used when actual crimes were committed. While a ban never happened, all toy guns in America started to be manufactured with different colors that were supposed to easily differentiate them from real firearms.

Citations
[about conservative politicians]
George Carlin: These people call themselves "right to lifers." Don't you love that phrase? And don't you love the way these kind of people pervert the English language? You realize that most of the right-to-lifers are in favor of the DEATH penalty? And they support the South American DEATH squads. And they're against gun control and they're against nuclear weapons control. When they say "right to life," they're talking about THEIR right to decide which people should live or die.

We really don't need any of those guys.

Once again, George Carlin skewers the irritation and hypocrisy in our society. My favorite part was his rant about the FCC (and this was before Janet Jackson's nipple on the Superbowl). I will say that "George Carlin: What Am I Doing in New Jersey?" isn't his best work; I just saw "You Are All Diseased" a few weeks ago and liked it better. But any of his work is still great. As long as there are f---ed up characteristics of our society - especially anything about politics - he'll always have something to talk about.

Anyway, this is just more proof of what a great comedian he is. As far as I'm concerned, all of his seven dirty words belong everywhere.
