Interview with Oklahoma State Sen. Nathan Dahm | The Problem with Jon Stewart

Yes, go!!!!

NYC launches $53M program to hand out pre-paid credit cards to migrants

Embarrassing 😮

The way to solve illegal immigration is to have more illegal immigrants.

It’s so incredibly depressing that he doesn’t know what an anecdote is.

OK then why can't American citizens bear arms in prison then? No exceptions for taking a persons gun away.

Remember the opening scene in Inglorious Basterds? Jon went Hans Landa on this dude lol

Annihilated by Jon Stewart

This fear of their fellow Americans - weird !

Jon is a natural treasure.

Checkmate

BOOM. Roasted

Colion Noir American activist lawyer debunks Jon Stewart American Comedian

This man is ridiculous, only an idiot thinks that more guns are a solution to the problem

A textbook example of cognitive dissonance and the GOPs inability to admit fault ever 😂

This guy is a master of not answering questions

You what would help obesity is more ice cream what a perfect analogy.

350 million people with over 400 million guns but we need more weapons per person that will make us safer. LOL where do they find these people?

Dahm speaks of 50,000 lives like it’s absolutely nothing! Pure evil!😮

Yes.... Got you.... hypocrisy

What a murder scene!

If we're going to talk seriously about the Second Amendment (2A), we need a serious understanding of much more than Jon Stewart's argument here. I love the guy immensely and greatly respect the tireless effort he puts into bettering America. However, he and every other commentator I've heard speak on 2A, despite their arguing skills and good intent, waltz right up to a door they never seem to walk through. Assuming anyone reads this and word spreads, I aim to remedy that here.

On a trip through a college library a few years back -- I was skulking around the place trying to determine which of my students actually went there -- I ran across a book on the subject of 2A, and as I grew up with guns in Texas and 2A has been something of a lifelong interest of mine, I decided to check it out and give it a read.

Short version : it damn near broke my brain.

I am an English professor and formal grammarian. I know my way around the language to a degree most people never even dream of, and I regard myself as a professional reader. This book, though, turned out to have been written both by and for formal 2A lawyers, judges and scholars, none of which I am, even in the least. It turned out to be an exceptionally hard read, taking me a solid month to slog through the whole thing. It served for me as a very basic introduction to what jurisprudence actually is. I really, honestly, had no idea at all of the full weight of that term until I forced my way through this one book.

If you read this book, here's part of what you'll learn a great deal about :

1) the history of the phrase "to bear arms";
2) the definition and function of a limiting clause;
3) the definition of "militia".

Be prepared for 100 dense pages on each subject. You may get more and you may get less; there are certainly other sub-topics, too. I just can't spit them all out on demand here and now.

Come out the other end and you'll have done something I've put before many other people in the past decade or so, and I've never heard back from a single one of them on it. Not a peep, not from a liberal or conservative, not from a Democrat or Republican, not from a centrist or Independent, not from a man, woman or beast. Just crickets. Not a goddamn word. That's why I started this commentary by referring to a "serious" intent. I know there's some out there somewhere. I've just never run into any of it in my own personal life.

The book is Uviller & Merkel's monstrous tome, "The Militia and the Right to Arms, or, How the Second Amendment Fell Silent (Constitutional Conflicts)". No, I'm not a paid agent, personal friend or casual acquaintance of either author. I'm just a guy who read a relevant book that no one else seems to care to tackle. Y'all have fun with it. Cheers.

as someone who used guns in combat, I always thought it was so we don't have to use guns here. you suck sir!

When the Constitution was amended to give a right to bear arms, the guns they referred to were muzzle-loaded muskets, not hand-held machine-guns.

I hope he has nightmares about this interview every night. This is forever

Am I alone in thinking that the country with more guns than people, the highest gun crime in the world and the country that is most prone to chanting 'USA' might just be the problem? The exact people who claim it's the greatest country on the planet also claim they need guns for imaginary situations when their own government slaughters them. They don't seem to care about children being slaughtered at school despite that having actually happened.

I think maybe they're just a tad wimpy.

Simple remove guns from hands of civilians.
Every country which did that has succeeded. Check New Zealand or Australia

I'm so god damned excited this man is coming back to the Daily Show, even if it is only once a week.

"REGISTER!"

Crazy that these sort of people can get elected to public office. Disgrace lol

This is edited to all hell. I actually agree with Jon on this, but they absolutely 100% put this together in a way to make Jon look like he was running circles around this guy

my go-to video when I need to feel better about the state of the world

I know this is in the description, but it would be good to have the episode listed as part of the thumb nail rather than just the discussion topic. Might reach a wider audience, which it definitely should.

American politicians taking back handers from the NRA defending the insane. Well done America

Two words..Remember Uvalde.

But our right to bear arms was written into the constitution during a very different time. There is a thing where you can AMEND the constitution as society changes and evolves to better suit the current day society. We also don’t have a whole lot of control over broken households and fatherless men and overall control of how people think and act, but what we do have some control over is introducing some form of regulation which includes background checks so we can do what we can to minimize the amount of guns that get into the wrong hands which then increases the risk of higher gun crimes/deaths. Not sure why this concept is so hard for some people to understand.

Dahm is a dahm idiot

Jon talked this guy into the ground. It was a short trip because he had not one fitting argument to come back with. He must be bought and paid for by the NRA Lobbyists.

Well, the solution would be that more people get educated about guns in the gun laws.
Right now by my best guess.
There's less than one trillion double percent of people who are educated in gun laws or carrying guns.

Fire this senator right now!!!!

Nate dahm is a dumb jerk

C’mon Jon

If the US isn’t continously overflowing the world with weapons, then they can’t claim that it’s dangerous out there.

It’s not like they are more likely to have their life ended by a loved one in their sleep.

In less then a minute and a half into this interview the senators argument holds no weight, what an idiot. Truly shows yet again how necessary gun reform and better controls are needed!

Jesus can this man please run for president with Gavin Newsome 🙏 he just made that man look stupid that quick

Switzerland has tons of full automatic firearms spread over their population. Shooting is popular there. Would someone know firearm killed person per capita for US vs. CH? Is there a difference?

Just lies and more lies!! Senator has been bought and sold!!

JOHN IS TALKING TO A CHRISTIAN HOME SCHOOLED NUT JOB.

So to this guy guns are people like corporations, just without mental issues. Not sorry but I don't see him as a gun, corporation or a person. Just a worthless piece of excrement.

So, only 8.50 minutes?
It seems a lot has been edited

It's not firearms. The number one cause of death for children in the US is abortion.
