So sad we still have such a desperate need for his voice on these topics.

Right?!?

Also criminals. We need to make sure that they arent exempt from this law. Oh wait...

Investigating crime report maps in any given city reveals that certain neighborhoods have disproportionate amounts of crime to an exponential degree. Perhaps having the military patrol high crime neighborhoods will bring peace to those neighborhoods seeing as how the police are ineffective at keeping crime at bay. I've long lost patience with the failures of our nation to solve problems and approach all political angles and issues as a fixer of problems. We need clear and direct solutions, not waffling or weak handed approaches. Ending the era of limp wristed politics and instead focusing on direct, hard, scientific solutions to problems should be the goal. Fundamentally I blame libertarianism and the libertarian mindset for most problems in the world. Anti-vaxxers are one thing, but abolish the police is another bad idea just as bad as anti-vaxxers. All of these toxic movements are destabilizing society to the point where cracks are starting to appear because people are promulgating bad ideas to an exponential degree, which results in deteriorating conditions... Rising crime, political destabilization, economic disorder, etc.

Cops have a bad reputation for committing domestic violence and other cops cover up for them.

And that's only the ones who were caught or willing to report it.

it isnt the guns...its just the type of power trip dudes that want to be a cop to begin with.

That's a very open ended theme he's brought up. Most domestic situations are not about firearms, but disputes, violence toward women(who should be armed)), and children who fall victim to... violent older boys. Can't call them men. Most cops assume firearms are possible but Stewart paints that a bleak story each time to lean toward officer safety...which wasn't he hating on cops in 2020-21? So JS hates guns and us who own them, but if he ONCE ever had a security detail, then he needs to be called out. He is so self righteous, I'd love to know more of his personal (real) life outside of TV and this platform

As a domestic violence survivor, me having a firearm would have backfired on me. Why? Because my ex always went through my things and if I hid anything, I would have been in more “trouble”. Also, he was quicker than me- he would likely get to my gun before me. My daughters school gave me a phone for emergencies only. They told me not to tell him. Had I NOT told him, he would have broke the phone when he found it (not if) and beat me. I had to tell him. At least though he knew it was from the school and that they were suspicious of him, so he likely wouldn’t have done anything to it. Or would have relied on me telling the school it fell in the toilet or our daughter broke it.

@@echoface1670 the issue is that there are guns everywhere in millions of households. you pair gun presence with the possibility of domestic violence and you get fatal shootings. it's the same reason why americans living in a home with guns are significantly more likely to commit suicide than those who do not have access to a gun.

Domestic disputes are scary with or without firearms. I was taught as a teen to be very hesitant to intervene into a domestic dispute because the person being abuse can turn on you.

And men who are found guilty of domestic violence who are forced into counseling, only about 2% make any progress... So let's step back, and ask why men are growing up to become violent toward women? IMHO it starts with these words: "big boys don't cry". Forcing little boys to suppress their feelings rather than learning how to grow emotionally, just might be a problem... Of course, if boys who have fathers who beat their mothers, and they grow up modeling that behavior, that is a problem too. They say that violent video games don't play a role, but if it's okay in a game, why not in real life? Not everyone can draw that distinction.

@@ericjohnson6665 There are absolutely no scientific evidence that video games contribute to any sort of violence as far as I know, and people have tried so hard to make that connection for a very long time.

Informative, yes, but generally incorrect regarding the domestic violence angle.

Too bad he's totally wrong on this one and used fake arguments and half truths to prove his points.

@@Skenderbeuismyhero So are you siding with domestic violence perpetrators?

@@BaiginLong Haha, when did I say that? It's already illegal to own a firearm if you have any domestic abuse felonies or misdemeanors. It's misleading to suggest that it isn't illegal like he does throughout this video. The people who want to take guns away are also the ones that have been pushing for and making bail "reforms" and letting out violent criminals over and over. Law makers and judges are undermining the criminal justice system and new laws for things that are already illegal won't change anything. Also the chart they showed for a second was extremely misleading. Jon says that studies show that more guns means more deaths but that chart specifically shows gun deaths. Switzerland is much higher on the chart than the UK even though they have 1/4th the murders that the UK has and the overall murder rate of the UK is much closer to the US than this chart shows. Just another example of people using statistics out of context to prove their improvable points.

I mean, it's not easy to prevent someone from loaning their gun to someone for target practise or because they feel threatened by someone. The problem is that 99.9% of gun violence already is illegal, but Jon doesnt have his a team writers with him so he sounds like a shill. You guys must all still be Colbert fans too, because this show is making a mockery of Jon's legacy as a moderate.

The problem with this argument is 1) if they're not following tbe current ones, they won't follow the new ones. 2) it's not just the law that needs changed. You can't just change the law and expect people to just roll with it, you gotta change the mindset first, because i got some bad news, it does in fact need changed.

A "complaint"? That's pretty slippery

I can bet you people would cry false accusations from women about banning domestic abuse offenders from having guns.

Yeah they need to greatly increase the penalty for having a gun illegaly. Is there anything else we can do to reduce the amount of gun violence from folks with a history of DV?

@HunterBidensCrackPipe this is true. I've seen false accusations of DV on pro athletes but, that is a small percentage to be fair

@@mirawenya they did. fucking ignore the horses asses!

I rarely look at YT comments but I scrolled down to see if anyone would mention the pesky problem with DV that police officers have themselves.

Working in the DV field must be taxing mentally. Speaking as a former Marine, DV, is a kiss of death, to a career. All Marines are rifleman, hence, DV disqualifies you for further duty. Off base, the Marine, faces double jeopardy. We do our best to enforce DV. Yes, the military has a higher rate then civilians. We offer counseling for both, it's up to the Marine to control him/her self. If not, consequences will follow. "Semper Fi"

Here in Colorado even if you are charged with anything DV, your guns are taken away. Seems pretty straight forward to me. Not sure why other states cannot get onboard with that. I support the right to have guns in the hands of the right people, but people who commit violent crimes, even while only charged, should not have access to guns. Honestly after serving in the military and having grown up around guns and hunters, it perplexes me why people who do purchase guns do not have mandatory training and safety awareness. If there is one thing that should have safety over done it is gun ownership. There should be a mandatory two week training done for anyone buying a gun. That is less then the amount i had prior to even going into the military.

@Custos Vitiosus Do you drive a vehicle? You had to have training, a medical exam and pass a test showing competency to be licensed! This is the minimum that should be required for guns!

@Custos Vitiosus so if you read a history book or two, you would know the right to bare arms being about owning a personal gun was essentially invented by the NRA in the late 20th century. One conservative supreme Court justice called it "the greatest swindle of the American people to date"

over 40%...

And there's the rub.

@doof goobins there is no justification for abuse. It's a personal choice.

@@carissahowell That is a simplistic response. Many of these cops have emotional problems that go untreated because of a culture not willing to acknowledge weakness or vulnerability. The person being abused is suffering at the hands of someone who is also likely suffering. You want to solve one, solve the other.

@@SGxShadow It's usually informed by instinct rather than logic, in the same way we tend to be fearful of planes even though cars are far more dangerous. Gun ownership psychology is usually informed by a location/environment where one doesn't feel safe and thus the gun provides a sense of being secure. Over time we have seen this just isn't true, but it's just how the brain works (and thus why people shouldn't have guns; I can attest to the fact that my fears and paranoias get the best of me, and I can end up doing some irrational things, and hell for all we know the op lives in an area where crime is high, so at the very least I can empathize with the impulse to buy what you think is protection). We aren't rational actors, unfortunately, that's why we need to look out for each other. The self is unreliable. (If op sees this, sorry if it feels I'm assuming a lot about you. To make it clear, this isn't a judgement. This is data informed, I don't think it's healthy to assert moral authority over others when you can't possibly know their situation; your reasons are likely understandable, but the research is in.

Most liberals are actually very rational about guns. There are very few who advocate for a total ban on firearms and those very few people don't understand how impossible that would be in this country. It's okay to staunchly fight gun violence and still be an owner. I'm an Army veteran and fully support ownership, though I also think people should have mandatory training that is provided by the government and held to a very high standard because you shouldn't have to pay for a Constitutional right.

@@wiltarthebarbarian1988 Yeah, because no woman has ever lied to a judge about "domestic violence"... ever... Here's an idea... quit propping up feminazis who got what they deserved.

I also am a responsible owner of several firearms and I do agree with Jon on this issue. As a former law enforcement officer I believe we do not need more gun laws but simply need to enforce the ones we have. I do however think gun owners should be required to receive proper gun safety training and obtain a permit to purchase a firearm. My wife and I both obtained our CCW permits even though she does not carry one I believed it important for her to have it. I am uncomfortable with people who should not be allowed to have a firearm, such as a convicted felon, purchase one from an individual. I personally would not sell a firearm to anyone who did not have a permit to carry one since a felon cannot obtain a permit. I know people go crazy over the constitutional carry idea but we need to be practical. Firearms are fine in the proper hands and I know that no law will prevent criminals from getting them but we could make it a little more difficult.

To make a case that domestic violence perpetrators wouldn’t have been able to kill if they didn’t have a firearm, is suggestive that they were legally allowed to have one to begin with. Criminals don’t care about laws. I’m tempted to believe criminals don’t even care about the punishments anymore, because of (in my opinion) the lack of public display and severity. We need common sense reform, and the issue is not the firearm. Edit: let’s be clear, personally, I would never wish for a shootout. I pray I never have to use my firearm in self defense. But good people who carry protection, are not the ones making those decisions. Or do you believe they are?

@@yohanthegr8959 it would be easier to just NOT HAVE GUNS to begin with. You apparently didn’t get the message of the video: it’s impossible to distinguish the good from the bad guy. What did Australia do after such a shoot out? The banned guns altogether and lived happily ever after.

@@yohanthegr8959 There are laws that aren't enforced and there are mental health issues never addressed in this country. To say that the best course of action is more weapons is ludicrous to a rational mind. In my opinion the amount of weapons in our hands is untenable, what is necessary now is thorough education on the safe handling of these by society. Hell, we don't even have the basic training for actors when it comes to firearms and you want to arm family members in the name of security? Full out authoritarian legislation won't stop this nor will more unenforced laws.

My local gun nut store has billboards every Christmas showing “pretty” AR15’s s as ultimate Christmas gifts.

lemme guess, the picture was taken in a trailer home.

@@CharlesClemens Nothing says Christmas like superior firepower.

We don't think you're nuts. That boat has sailed. On this subject we know!

If you understand what the gun in ads represents, you wouldn't be so offended by it. It's literally why you have the best life one could have ever hoped for since...........man first walked this earth. But you've been made to believe the opposite... It's not your fault. The bad in this world always go after the good...

There are more of us centrists than you think. Keep that in mind ALWAYS. It's only a few that have extreme beliefs.

Ahh... *THAT* desperation, "@@Strings-jg2to"?!?

For the better?.!

@@maazkalim I'm so confused. 🤔

More than you can imagine! The world without John Stewart is NO World at all.

Yep. A novel concept that doesn't remove the rights of law abiding citizens. Which is probably why it won't ever get any traction. It would certainly be better than the "red flag" stuff, which seems to be a bunch of "he said / she said" with no proof required.

@Shinshocks it would have to be on conviction. Otherwise there's no due process, which is a violation of your basic human rights.

He basically said: Enforce the laws already on the book. That what gun owners have been saying all along.

@@stimproid pretty much. Many States have laws related to Domestic Abuse being a felony, and Federal laws prohibit gun ownership if convicted of a felony or some domestic violence misdemeanors. So... Yeah. Enforce the laws that are already there.

He’s a National Treasure.

What law? if i Can go to texas and get a gun from a private citizen who sells guns to make a living (called a gun dealer everywhere else) then can I just drive to a city with strick laws whihtout bing searched upon entry how can you enforce it?

Bc if you commit a crime with that gun, the seller gets charged for illegally selling the firearm if you were a person prohibited.
