Jon Stewart Brandishes Plastic Gun While Talking Gun Control – Video

He's good but you can't change these people's minds. just have to get the othere off the couch.

Never wrestle with a pig, you just get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

I own a few guns, they are for my protection aginst criminals and also aginst our own government which is taking away more and more of our personal rights. *It has stopped parents from spanking their own children, made schools like jails, black boxes in cars allowing others to know what and where we go, the same as cell phones. We the people keep allowing the government to take away our rights and we will become another Venezuela where their have been over 20,000 murders just this past year alone by GANGS and they are not allowed to own guns, so tell me how has not owning a personal gun, no matter what kind it is able to protect the people of Venezuela or other countries who have been forced to give up their guns.

You are distorting the conversation. If you watched the episode, he does not condone removing all guns. Most people who argue for gun control do not argue for the removal of all guns. They argue, as Jon Stewart does, for limiting what's available and getting better regulations for how they are attained and who is attaining them.

do away with unregulated flea markets that sell firearms,register guns in all states, this will ultimately limit availability to those whom cannot buy in a regulated gun store.

1)there is no such thing as an "unregulated flea market that sell guns". You have to fill out the same paperwork no matter where you buy a gun. Lying on the form is a felony. 2)please look up the definition of "criminal" and I think you'll find that they generally do not obey laws or at least the laws made to stop them from doing bad things. Only law-abiding citizens obey laws, so your "solution" would just make more available victims. 3)the last I checked, killing somebody in cold blood was a crime just about everywhere in the world. There's already a law against that. 4)we have become so politically correct we can't keep seriously ill mental patients locked up even when they are a danger to ourselves and our children and treatment for mental illness is routinely denied because of budget constraints.

We need to increase the punishment for those who kill, rape, molest or otherwise violently harm others. Serious, major implications need to be put upon those who do such things. Removal of hands, feet, rendering the mouth sexually unusable as well as reproductive organs. You do this... you do this publicly, you will nearly end all major violence. We as a society coddle and protect those who do the greatest evils. This is our greatest fault.

Knifes don't kill people, people kill people
Baseball bats don't kill people, people kill people
Guns don't kill people, people kill people
BUT GUNS MAKE IT REALLY EASY TO KILL TONS OF PEOPLE IN A VERY SHORT TIME! THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE MADE FOR! WHO THE HELL NEEDS AN ASSUALT WEAPON. HOME PROTECTION, FROM WHAT A CHINESES ARMY? WAKE UP AMERICA NOONE NEEDS THESE WEAPONS WITH HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES AND ACCELERATED RATES OF FIRE. GET RID OF THEM.

I'm glad that Jon Stewart is having this conversation! and I'm confident that we are going to see real change for the better in our country. As a nation we have become desensitized to the hideous violence permeating our culture. Let's have strict gun control laws, improve our mental health care and stop watching such violent movies and video games.... because that is like ingesting poison! It makes us sick. Bravo to you Jon!

It's not guns that are the problem. It's the people who use them to commit crimes and acts of violence. Gun control is simple. If you get caught with a gun and you do not have a legal carry permit they kick you out of the country. That way you can't use the argument that there are not enough prison space. Where do we send them? Put them on an Island with seeds and farming tools. If you come back you are executed. Can you imagine how low the crime rate would drop.

I noticed at the end of the 2nd video he mentions 30k deaths by firearms a year. If you're going to quote numbers, try to be accurate. A simple google shows that in the last couple of years the actual number of deaths is a third of less of what Stewart says.

Does this make it better? No, but in such a volatile topic...hell when debating ANY topic, one should strive to be accurate and honest with their arguments.

he's an idiot if he thinks a new gun law will cure the problem. too long have we not enforced laws we have in place. MURDER is against the law and has been since the days of Christ!
