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.

Best indictment of the whole "good guy with a gun solves bad guy with a gun" argument is the 2019 shooting in Dayton, Oh. A man opened fire on a crowded outdoor bar patio and cops responded quickly and had shot the guy 32 seconds after he opened fire. THIRTY TWO SECONDS between the first shot being fired and him being killed by the good guys with guns. In that time he killed nine and injured 17 more.

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.

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.

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'd be half of South Chicago where guns are totally banned.

The key to reducing gun violence is reduce the gun ratios. The US has over 120 guns per 100 people. Most civilized nations have 40 guns per 100 people and under. Canada has 32 guns per 100 people. UK and Australia have much lower ratios. The gun lobby has fooled most Americans into thinking that guns protect you, when clearly having tons of easy access to guns creates more gun violence. If you study the origins of the 2nd amendment, it wasn't even intended as it's used today. The right to bear arms was not supposed to allow everyone to have access to guns. The right to bear arms was used to control the slave trade and control indians. Both these groups were excluded from having or using guns by the 2nd amendment, which made it legal for all americans to have guns and illegal for blacks and indians to have guns. They used the 2nd amendment to EXCLUDE others from having guns legally, not the other way around. Now the 2nd amendment is used by the gun lobby to make profits off all Americans, while the US has gun violence higher than many 3rd world countries.

I'm a certified gun nut and I so much appreciate Jon Stewarts take on this. It's a real solution we can get behind and he's not talking condescendingly to gun owners or arrogantly swinging around his ignorance of firearms. Seriously great to have him back.

Just great stuff. More people need to appreciate just how clear the leading indicators for violent outbursts are. Domestic Violence is a signal that the individual and family culture views violence as a normal form of social interaction, and a means to an end. And as always, theres an underlying socio-economic problem at the heart of domestic violence. "Lock them up" and "take their guns" are important measures for the end of the process flow, but the real change is made upstream, identifying why these young men and women are growing in environments that normalize violence and abuse.

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.

Did you know, a lot of judges deciding dv cases (injunctions/restraining orders) think that abusers have a right to their guns despite believing abuse occurred. If you're an attorney before such judges, bring the fed rules with you to help remind the judge. It works (usually).

@archerj.maggott1372

2 жыл бұрын

That might be a possible way around the underlying problem, which is that state and local cops don't have to enforce the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- which is the federal law that says DV offenders may not buy or own guns -- because it is not written into the Constitution itself. It's thus their 10th Amendment right to refuse to enforce it. But yes, if a local judge tells them to, then that might be a different story, since they were ordered by the local court. Still, without state and local laws that say the same thing as the federal law, you're going to have lots of instances where local cops and/or judges don't want to take a DV offender's guns, and, since the 10th Amendment says they don't have to anyway, they may not do it, even when asked. Then, it will be voluntary for the offender to give up his guns, which is of course just another way of saying that he won't have to. He can likely also get a new gun through a private sale or a straw purchaser, even though if he tries to get one at a store, the NICS check will tell the dealer -- who is licensed through the ATF, and thus has federal (not local) law enforcement looking over his shoulder -- not to sell to him. Thus, the commercial dealer is the only likely barrier to the DV offender who wants to get a gun, and there are multiple ways around him.

@@archerj.maggott1372 I can only provide an example for Florida, and the law for dv says if an dv injunction is granted against you, you cannot be in possession of your guns. Some judges like to say it's not a must but a suggestion of the max that can be ordered against the abuser, but it's not. And when you remind them that it is not just a local state law but federal, they are more inclined to follow the law in fear of being appealed. You still have some judges who don't care and believe the survivor doesn't have the means to pay for an appeal. Doesn't hurt to be prepared at all levels, especially if you want to preserve the record for appeal. You are right, injunctions do little to protect the abused when law enforcement will not do their part in enforcing it. A lot of victims don't even know how to use the order to protect them selves. Lots of education is lacking in this area and you need all boots on the ground involved to find the holes and solutions for the holes. Gun control...yeah well we know that's always been a problem and not enough is ever done to fix it.

Police's response to the stats on domestic violence calls causing their deaths: guess we'll just stop showing up to the calls!

Domestic violence calls are the most dangerous calls cops go on. Emotions are extremely heightened and craziness ensues.

Taking guns from people who commit domestic violence would likely also clean up the policing problem.

If you disagree with almost all of his political point of views you are not only letting him convince you, but continously listening to him despite this makes you as reasonable as Mr. NRA! Think about it ...

You realize hes (stewart) is making fun of you (you) if you agree with the jackasses he snips into his bits. If youre not smart enough to realize.... well then... thanks for coming out of your echo chamber and not learning a damned thing.

Wow, the dude praises John's ability to present his points with humor in a way that elicits thoughts and rethinking your position and the replies in the thread miss the point completely and attack the OP for having different opinions and still watching John. Fucking hell.

@@JoeWolsing I hear you, but I'm still willing to listen. I need to hear it from someone or I'll be in a bubble, and there's not many reasonable people to listen to anymore.

@@JoeWolsing You make absolutely no sense. If he considers Jon his preferred source to hear opinions opposing to his, that means Jon didn't convince him of anything. He has an open mind, hears multiple opinions to an issue and decides for himself, instead of some on the left and almost all on the right whose minds are already made up because they listened to only one view.

Sometimes Jon knocks it out of the park when it comes to sensibility. This one is a grand slam. Well done.

The problem is complex, and there is no one solution to the violence in this country. We need a task force that will look at all aspects of this problem. As a mental health provider, I can say that most of these people who engage in mass shootings do not use mental health services, they do not believe they have a problem. There are plenty of mentally ill people in other countries, but because of their gun control laws, this kind of violence does not happen. We are the only country in the world where we have shootings every day. We in mental health need to do more outreach and education about emotional regulation and help people understand and cope with their anger and rage. We also need to educate people about trauma and parenting but the field of mental health can only do so much, so we need to tackle this from every angle. It is my hope that people in power, people like Jon, and other celebrities will continue to speak up about this, and other leaders in government will step up and take action. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and our children who cannot protect themselves.

If the present law is not enforced, why would anyone think a new one would be.

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

I know, he's been involved in the veterans community and has done lots of awesome things, I just ment it's good to see him doing his thing more often again is all.

Best video I've ever seen on the subject. Bravo, Jon
