Jon Stewart is wrong, again. This time it’s about his foolish take on gun violence. Today’s show breaks it down.

Firstly, he claimed that crime was down - it’s not.

"I don't know if he knows these are misleading statistics, and by that I mean, flat-out incorrect," Crowder said. “All I know is that they are incorrect.”

In 2021, the FBI only started accepting data from one source, the National Incident-Based Reporting System.

“When he says crime is down he is referring to this new trend of under-reporting crime,” Crowder said.

According to governing.com,

In 2022, almost a third of law enforcement agencies did not report data to NIBRS.

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is based on interviews with citizens, not on crimes reported to the police. The 2022 NCVS survey estimates that only about 4 in 10 violent crimes, and 3 in 10 property crimes, were reported to police in 2022. Estimates for 2021 were roughly the same.

"The truth is, crime is up," Crowder said. “Murders in big cities are much higher than pre-COVID levels.”

On top of that, many cities are not prosecuting crimes like they used to. For example, anything under $950 in theft in California is a misdemeanor.

Stewart claimed crime is down, even though it’s not, and that any crime in blue cities is because Republicans have flooded cities with illegal weaponry.

According to Rolling Stone:

“93 percent of the illegal guns used in crimes in New York City aren’t from here,” he added. “The guns come from states like Florida and Georgia and South Carolina where the laws are lax.”

“It’s almost as though Republicans must have a secret plan for this, funded by their billionaires, to flood our cities with illegal, undocumented guns, pouring them over our state borders in the hopes of killing off reliable Democratic voters. The great displacement theory,” Stewart continued, mimicking conservative anti-immigration language.

"You cannot make the argument that gun crime is up in blue cities because of the red districts that don't have the crime,” Crowder said.

Even if the problem is Republicans, even though it’s not, then that means the solution would be to take away the guns in those areas where crime is not even bad.

“The only way to solve that is to go to the areas where they have high gun ownership and are not committing crimes, and take away their guns,” Crowder said. “There is no solution that does not involve that.”
