Jordan Klepper Debunks The “Good Guy with a Gun” Argument | The Daily Show 

and/or most actual news journalists?

Yes. Sadly, Comedy Central has been the most accurate newschannel for the past 20 years.

I mean, many of the politicians know this stuff they're just not being honest about it because the second amendment gets people riled up and then they get more votes. Also money.

it's not so much that they do more research, but rather they tell us about the relevant information.

@@-Subtle- its true and sad lol

I love his style and humor, one of the most talented correspondents ever in my book.. Most of his jokes, like that one, are pure gold..

Nations with more guns have more gun deaths. Nations with fewer or no guns have vastly less. Dispute that.

@@amywalker7515 ask some Jews that died in the Holocaust how they feel about gun control

@rigorous mortis It means go ask the unarmed populace how they felt when they began getting exterminated

@rigorous mortis history doesn't care if you think something is inapprioate, it happens. And I can personally give you more references. Massacres of unarmed civillians by Stalin, Kim Jong. Massacre of colonists by British red coats that started American revolution. And here's one bonus one, it was the availability of their limited weapons and use of traps and terrain that allowed the Vietnamese to fight american invaders during the Vietnam war.

Except they kind of ignore the part where three percent ARE stopped... And more and more shootings happen in places where ordinary citizens are NOT allowed to carry; faires, gun "free" zones, concerts, SCHOOLS, ca, ny... Isn't it clear that all a gun free zone REALLY does is create a comfortable environment for criminals looking to shoot people???!!! Could not be more clear to me.

@@beargillium2369 Again, that is not how mathematics work. Guns are used in 54% of homicides around the world. That figure is up to 73% in the US. And America has a gun homicide rate that is 25 times higher than other rich countries. Basically, guns are causing thousands of deaths, so even if you count the 3% chance that they might save you, it's not worth it.

@@kingkunta7058 but what is not worth it? There are more guns in America than people, it's not a simple task to stop criminals from acquiring them, and all legislation does is make legal owners more defenseless. So when you say "it's not worth it," AGAIN, what is the "it" you're talking about that is the thing not worth? Can you show me any statistics on crimes prevented by guns? No, because when a crime is prevented (say a guy thinks to rob me at an atm machine then thinks better when he sees I'm armed. Or my wife is out running and doesn't get grabbed into the bushes because a lot of people carry in our area and the "bad guys" KNOW it), there's NO record kept of it. By that false logic, you would say that seat belts don't save lives either, because the FACT it that MANY people are killed by seatbelts, but we're not trying to make fabric illegal are we? You'll say "oh but in this accident if not for the seatbelt person could have died" correct! And if not for armed citizens, as in legally armed, more criminals could more easily commit crimes without fear of repercussion. Here's a stat: every single place in America where gun control has been adopted, has had a significant increase in violent crime. Look that up for yourself. Background checks? Yes, all for it. Red flags? Absolutely. Recognition of criminal intent is far more important than creating crimes by making things ordinary people already possess illegal. Tell me what would happen to all the newly illegal guns? I'll tell you: they will end up on the black market, as already happens, when law enforcement seizes a gun, do you know what they do? They SELL IT IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION. What will happen if there's NO legal jurisdiction? One of two things: only cops will have all these guns(such wonderful people? Not ideal.). Or, corrupt cops will sell to criminal elements for exorbitant prices. Lots of money to be made for corruption of gun control, prices will go sky high. And what will change? Look at australia. They mostly eliminated guns, hooray! Except now they're RIFE with violent home invasions, because guess what? Even there, CRIMINALS CAN STILL GET GUNS BECAUSE LAWS DON'T STOP CRIMINALS.

@@beargillium2369 The fact that there are so many guns in America didn't happen out of nowhere, it is a direct consequence of loose gun regulations. Don't confuse causes with consequences. And if guns prevent homicides, why is it that other wealthy countries have considerably lower homicide rates ? The UK, for instance, has a homicide rate that is 5 times lower than the US. And comparing seatbelts with guns is pointless, seatbelts are rarely used in homicides, in no way do they make you more likely to die.

Just think about this for a moment. In the US, from 2009 to 2018, there were 288 school shootings. 288. In the same time span, in Germany, there was one. So clearly, your argument about "gun-free" zones is wrong too.

It's exactly what would happen. Same way he shot the teen thinking he was a bad guy, the cops responding to an active shooter situation would assume the first guy they see with a gun is a threat

It's a real problem. SWAT is trained to detain anyone nearby for this reason alone.

tbf he did shoot an unarmed teen in the chest twice, he effectively switched team to a bad guy with a gun lol

Yeah. People seem to believe that things will be easy, that they'll have time to react to the situation. Lots of people don't even realize that if you have a gun then you're the first target.

@@Goddessllias This is not true, especially considering they will not instantly know who has a gun or not in a room full of many people. They do not have the clairvoyance the actor did and portrayed an unrealistic scenario.

true, if you have seen the bad guy with the gun 100% chance he has seen you too, you guys made eye contact, and that only means about one thing, and that is you are gonna get shot at and nothing you can do about it cuz bullet is 1000 times faster you can ever react.

And if anyone with some training was able to resist with an equal amount of force.... The outcome would be different.

You know most people lie on those right lol. I never did the full number of hours to get my license. And criminals don't obtain weapons legally anyways what a bad take.

@@tigeruntamed6036 A lot fo criminals do obtain it legally. It seems you broke the law there but the point is an 8 hour class is enough to get a gun in most states.

@@hameedullahkhan4441 More people get killed in car accidents you do know that right? Should we ban cars bigger than a bicycle?

But that's the whole point. Nobody knows what's going on when they arrive at an active shooter event, so the more vigilante morons running around trying to be heroes the more confusion there's going to be.

@@DLovWife Tell that to the idiots in the NRA who claim otherwise.

Yeah, pretty much this. I went target shooting with a friend-of-my-boss who was utterly incapable of the muzzle discipline mentioned in this video. I never went with him again. Having the muzzle of an actual, loaded Glock (rather than a yellow toy) pointed carelessly at you will do that.

@@gus.smedstad When I was shooting in the ATC in UK as a cadet (13 years ago, it's like military scouts for the RAF) we had semi-automatic L98 Cadet rifles and .22's at the range, and 1 guy was banned from the range and from shooting for a year because he kept turning around with a loaded magazine in his rifle, Despite the full day of training we had on weapons handling the day before (actually a nice guy, just had no range or muzzle discipline).

Do I look cool, Butters?

Very true

And more training than most police get annually for _all_ training, so how much of that do you figure goes to firearms? Most concealed carry holders spend more time than the police training in proficiency with their firearms and are far more reticent to deploy their weapon, not just because they don't get "qualified immunity", but because they _really_ don't want to have to use it. I'm sure that's true of most police, too, but not the ones making headlines recently.

@@transphotography It is. I fact checked

@@hectorrivera6624 that's actually not true at all but it's been the messaging from the right wing propaganda machine for years. When people think of violent cities people often like to tout places like NYC or Chicago but it's places in Toledo and Dayton Ohio, Memphis Tennessee, west Palm Beach Florida, Little Rock Arkansas, Springfield Missouri, Milwaukee Wisconsin and Albuquerque New Mexico, to name a few that all have crazy high violent crime rates and incredibly lax gun laws, that no one ever mentions. The difference is that Democrat run states will pass laws to at least attempt to mitigate the gun violence whereas Republican run states tend to do nothing - except push the idiotic notion that we need more guns and less laws. My point is that you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation. Perhaps the reason certain states have stricter gun laws is BECAUSE they have higher crime rates. I truly doubt that they have higher crime rates BECAUSE of stricter gun laws.

Why?

@@MrThe1234guy Because guns exist for the sole purpose of killing people, and cars exist to transport people.

@@andrewwesley1946 The study showed that homeowners defending their houses or people defending themselves from potential attack by just brandishing a firearm caused a very large drop in violent attacks. It also pointed out in the book that neighboring homes had crime decrease after these situations as the criminals avoided returning to that area.

@@g.k.1669 Were there any limitations to the study?

No, it doesn't. This was really dishonest journalism, even by The Daily Show's trash standards.

@@Pleasestopthinking How so?

This video is idiotic, liberal propaganda! The sad part is, a lot of people completely buy into it!

@@mikeantonin7580 Splicing the interview, he purposefully aims his gun at the police to get them to shoot him, not mentioning details about the CHP, etc.

@@Pleasestopthinking You understand that this is a comedy show, not a news network, right?

Ah, Sandy Hook and Columbine. When the gun control became important. When it was just poor brown kids getting shot, nobody cared about gun control. I wonder why.

@@craigfelter Columbine came and went, quickly replaced by the next shooting. Sandy Hook changed absolutely nothing anywhere. Don't go around acting like things have improved for any kid in America who doesn't want to be shot.

@@grass7864 You missed the point. Kids were getting shot before Columbine, it was just that mainstream America didn't care. Because they were kids that didn't look like them who lived in places they didn't go.

I guarantee that some closeminded idiot is gonna try to compare a knife (something you can outrun or easily stop if you know martial arts) to a gun (something that you can't outrun or get close enough to stop, because it shoots projectiles).

Yeah, but if you have more of that item and everyone has it then it becomes safer :D

@@djbeatz3 not really If everyone has a nuke, no one is safe If no one has a nuke, everyone is safe

America sells food that still kills people, so guns are just the metal plushies that keep the snowfucks happy

As a Dutch one i can definitely say im pleased to not have to worry about people with guns

Yeah imagine having all our low educated inbreds with poor anger management and communication skills have access to these weapons. Road rage is already plenty. Nooo thanks

Most don't understand sarcasm.

It's completely out of control. This law passed in the state of Texas a few months ago. Basically, anyone over age 21 in Texas can carry any gun anywhere they want to, and they don't need any training beforehand. "Per House Bill 1927 signed into law by Gov. Abbott, open carry is fully legal for anyone over 21 years of age since September 1, 2021. Known by supporters as “constitutional carry,” House Bill 1927 allows Texans 21 and over to carry handguns - openly or concealed - without obtaining a state-issued license, so long they are not excluded from possessing a firearm by another federal or state law."

Imagine having your gun unloaded in your home 😂😂

Gun runners have that covered. I'm not saying that we should sit on our hands and do nothing, but how do we address that?

@@elizabetholiviaclark yea, its like saying what if ppl were driving recklessly, should we not have speed limit because some will inevitably not follow them ?

What's te point of being a bad guy then?

@@elizabetholiviaclark I think the saddest part, is bad guys don't need the black market. The government will sell them the guns, if not Reagan selling contra guns, we have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives selling guns to the cartel. We need to clog the holes of this sinking ship, and stop diverting our attention with "what if".

Betty Clark people comitting mass shootings are not career criminals

You mean the state that would like corporations to censor your phone? What.

Well, I fooled them all, I carry an *invisible* weapon! Hah!

Maine also has constitutional carry. As long as you can legally own a gun, you can conceal.

That's ridiculous!! 😢🥺😠

I work at a store that sells guns. All the LEOs that come in support universal background checks, gun registration, and proficiency tests for carry permits. I thought Republicans supported law enforcement.

@@heidihansen9744 Only when I'm providing the music.

That's because most people can sense a fool! Do YOU normally laugh at idiots?.

Laughing is the only way to stay even remotely sane

That's a moronic statement, though. No other country has the number of guns in circulation as the US, and that toothpaste isn't going back in the tube. Pretending like we could just magic them away so we'd look like Australia and Britain (where mass shooting still occur, by the way) is childishly absurd.

Swiss people own lots of guns, no mass shootings. They are responsible people, even teenagers, not cowboys like in USA.

@@PrimoStracciatella There have been mass shootings in Switzerland; that you haven't bothered to look to see if they happened doesn't mean they haven't...

@@parsecboy4954 understanding the numbers shows the real issues here. while it is true we have more guns in circulation (about 120 per capita) that is only 3 times the global average of 40 per capita. However we have nearly 20 times the amount of mass shootings when compared to other countries and over 4 times the gun deaths per capita overall compared to the global average. Guns in circulation isn't the only problem. and legislation and control of certain firearms does, has, and will continue to work around the world and would make a difference here too. believing otherwise is what is childishly absurd.

@@Jeremy7hinkley NO

Well, it IS their livelyhood to train people how to deal with weapons and such, but to me that moment felt more like "Our politicians are not going to change it, so..."

Driving while intoxicated is illegal too but that doesn't stop people from doing it.

@@j.s.1766 If something isn't criminal the police can't step in. I've actually called the police before because there were suspicious men handling semi-auto rifles in the parking lot of my workplace and was told to call back if they start shooting. If guns were illegal to carry in public the police would have come and taken care of the situation BEFORE someone got shot.

still not convinced? watch Jim Jeffries routine on RU-vid regarding gun control...

@@oldrrocr no, I'm not convinced because for any reason that you're surprised it doesn't really matter what weapon an assailant is attacking you with. But given the chance I'm able to survive or have warning I'd still like to be carrying

One of the ways to tell someone was never in the military is that they make a dumb RU-vid comment about the military

Tell me what kind of "research" this guy did, thst impressed you so much?

He still got one with little to no actual training nor effort

This is not accurate. The cost is aprox. 75 for the license. The only other cost is the training course which I have seen go as little as $50 dollars in gun shows and consists of one 2-3 hour block of instruction with 100 students and a single instructor. This is followed by firing a single round of .22 into a drum filled with sand. Source : Me , I am an Army Veteran with a FL CCW though the training course is waived for anyone with dd214's (discharge paperwork) I know of the course because the S.O. of a fellow service member took the course. P.S. For clarification I despise our current system. I have hundreds of hours of relevant training under my belt and choose to carry out of fear of all the morons in FL with CCW's . Who knows maybe that makes me part of the problem, but at least i have a certain degree of training .

And they won’t mention that. Why?! You already know

Its probably equivalent to a participation trophy, everybody gets a certificate just for showing up

@@st520 Yes, people have failed the test before. In Massachusetts, you have to retake the training and repeat the test another day.

I doubt any white person was given a fail in one of these courses.

@@Aethelia Why does the color of their skin matter? Your comment exposes your racism.

Trevor Noah stinks imo. Stewart was the best. If anything, Jordan should take Trevor's place to host the show

Can you define a mass shooting?

Not really they just tend to be publicized more if they are but if it’s just one or two people dying or it’s people dying in a high crime impoverished area it just doesn’t matter because it doesn’t fit the agendas
