Jordan Klepper Solves Guns (TV Movie 2017)

Jordan Klepper Solves Guns: Directed by Todd G. Bieber. With Jordan Klepper, Mark Anderson, Cory Booker, David Chipman. America is divided – but that’s not stopping cocksure ideologue Jordan Klepper from solving America’s most divisive issue: guns.

“I enjoy Klepper but this has to be his worst work by far.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirstly he spends an entire hour on gun control and does no mention once, not once, the central and core trend, which is that US gun homicide rate has been declining for a decade and fallen by 62% since the early 1990u0026#39;s? or that accidental gun death rate has also fallen by about that much? Secondly he repeatedly claims only a tiny fraction of gun control advocates want to ban guns, when in fact every single gun control lobby group, all of Bloombergu0026#39;s various groups (Everytown, etc), as well as Brady Campaign, and Violence Policy Center, all — every one — supported DC in DC v heller, which was about jurisdiction being able to completely ban them? Thirdly not one mention of the fact that the US rate of murder of non criminals is lower than the EU average, Canada and Australia? The entire elevation of US homicide rates is criminals killing criminals, over 92% of US homicide. if you are not a criminal you are safer in the US than virtually any developed democracy Fourthly he paints the NRA as somehow unpopular and not representative? NRA is not only by far the largest paid membership civil rights/liberties group in the US, it is running a 58% approval rating among all Americans in the latest gallup (google NRA gallup approvals).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFifthly he uses a number for u0026quot;fatal gun violenceu0026quot; that is a combination of suicide (2/3 of his number) and homicide by gun. Yet does not look at US overall suicide plus homicide compared to other countriesu0026#39; overall suicide plus homicide rates. Dozens of developed democracies have higher suicide plus homicide rates, S. Korea is nearly double that of the US, Japan about 50% higher.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLastly he says the majority of Americans just want u0026quot;universal background checksu0026quot; for people who want to keep and bear arms. Yet in fact he himself then supports a test of a u0026quot;good reasonu0026#39; to do so, meaning he is sneaking in a condition that ends up disqualifying 90% of people who do pass background checks.”
