PIVOT! Libs applaud Jon Stewart for luring pro-gun/anti-drag queen Republican into a trap

We’d forgotten that Jon Stewart has a show on AppleTV+, “The Problem with Jon Stewart.” He’ll surprise us now and then with a common-sense conservative take, but on AppleTV+, he seems to have fully regressed into the liberal he is at heart.

This week his guest was Oklahoma Sen. Nathan Dahm. There’s a good-sized clip from the show’s official Twitter account, but getting more traction is an edit sent out cheering Stewart for calling Dahm out on his “blatant, shameless hypocricy.”

It’s a question we’re always asking … why aren’t the liberals the ones explaining why drag shows for kids are essential to their education and development? Why is it so imperative to teach gender ideology and sexual orientation in kindergarten?

We’d never heard of this guy, but he made it onto Stewart’s show.

Here’s a longish reply to Stewart:

1. As a preliminary note, I hate how Stewart cuts him off constantly. The game he plays is clear here, so I’m not sure why anyone agrees to these. He’s good at what he does, but it’s not really a fair format.

2. Out of the gates with “well regulated”. First off, that meant something entirely different in the 18th century, and secondly, as Dahm notes, the militia is “well regulated”, not the uninfringeable right of the people.

3. “I don’t want to ban guns”. I’d be shocked if Stewart doesn’t support things like AWBs, which literally are bans of some of the most popular guns.

4. Stewart argues more guns equal more gun deaths, using a common tactic of conflating suicides and homicides. On a state by state level, gun ownership rates are not correlated with homicide rate or even gun homicide rate. He keeps repeating this 50,000 gun death figure without every clarifying more than half are suicides. Wish Dahm pointed this out, but to be fair, Stewart kept cutting him off.

5. Stewart implies that the state got rid of background checks. That’s not true, you still need a background check if you buy from an FFL, as required by federal law. And he also conflates constitutional carry here, but again, that doesn’t make it legal for you to carry if you are prohibited from owning guns.

6. Stewart laughs at the idea that fatherlessness is an issue, when it’s one of the biggest predictors of crime.

7. Again, I’m having trouble squaring Stewart’s criticisms with his opening statement that he isn’t against guns. You sure John? Because your argument that cops would be safer if nobody had guns at places where cops were called to sounds pretty anti-gun. We obviously can’t know ahead of time which house police will be called to. Sometimes guns there may be a problem, other times not.

8. “Police” don’t uniformly say they want registration, a few big city PDs do. The antigun side is happy to cite police when they agree with them, but ignore the many times they don’t. Not that the police are the experts on our rights. Stewart would never defer to cops on other constitutional rights, like protections against unreasonable search and seizure.

9. Wow, he brings up microstamping. Everytown definitely briefed him on what to say. So for those that don’t know, that technology only exists in a lab setting. Even if it were a reality, all it would take for criminals to defeat it is:
– Use a revolver which doesn’t eject casings.
– File down or replace the firing pin to get rid of the stamp identifying you.
– Use a stolen gun, which is what most criminals do.
And he says cops support microstamping, when we just had a declaration in our state signed by PORAC, the biggest police org in the state, opposing it.

10. Part of the reason we vehemently oppose registries is because other countries that did them use them as confiscation lists later on. And given that the gun control side loves to cite Australia and Canada, who did exactly that….

11. Everytime they bash southern states for constitutional carry, it’s worth pointing out that these high crime rates existed in the south well before constitutional carry. Of course, Stewart won’t go talk to a pro-gun State Senator from low-crime constitutional carry states like Idaho, Utah, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, etc.

12. He compares voter registration to gun registration, but omits that several of the gun control states make gun ownership WAY harder than registering to vote. If a Republican state made voter registration the exact same process as buying a gun in CA, they’d be screaming bloody murder. So sure, Stewart got his “gotcha” I guess, but he doesn’t actually want a gun registration system as easy as voter registration.
