Jordan Klepper Debunks The “Good Guy with a Gun” Argument | The Daily Show

it seems like every day there's a new mass shooting but turn on the tv and the solution is crystal clear we should arm the good guys whether it's in denny's or in a classroom the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun he's a good guy with a gun good guy with a gun one good guy with a gun he's a good guy with a gun sounds like a foolproof plan it's time to do my duty it's time to become jordan klepper good guy with a gun the first thing any good guy with a gun needs is his concealed handgun license which in obama's new york city is almost impossible to get luckily it's super easy in florida you don't even have to live there you can just mail it an application and once that gets approved it instantly becomes valid in these 30 states so all i have to do to qualify for my handgun license is buy a stamp and pass any nra gun safety course buckle up buttercup daddy's packing i've come to the new jersey firearms academy to train with chief instructor and cowboy celo green impersonator latif dickerson chief what do we have here uh we have some handguns the h1k heckling coke model usp this gun here is the glock model 19. which one does this good guy get you get this one seriously this mustard colored toy it's not a toy that is a plastic training gun and we're going to keep it pointing in the same direction as though it were a real firearm am i going to hit somebody with the bubbles that it blows out it's called muzzle disallowing discipline to where that muzzle is pointing at all times or i'll have that muzzle discipline great just want you to know i don't obey any rules kind of a wild card you have to obey all the rules when it comes to firearms right i get that i will but who knows you know there's a wild card in there anything can happen it can't happen it won't happen here but okay but i'm just kind of one of those guys i'm a rule breaker don't break any rules i won't bring any of these rules no not these because someone can either die or you can become incarcerated teach me how to shoot a gun chief broke down all the key points of firearm safety like aiming contact on the grip wrap those around and then those and that's how you aim suck on this metal and not like that but get the gun just like that can't talk with the gun in your mouth no what not turn the gun sideways keep the gun vertical up and down okay if i hold it like this can i still say suck on this piece no good guys don't tell bad guys to suck on their piece before they shoot them what do they do trust me i know what i'm talking about then i was ambushed by a grueling written exam it was three entire pages double-sided multiple choice stop fiddling with it you'll break it off that's what our mom used to say the tests contained brain busters like true or false always keep your gun pointed in a safe direction that's actually a question one's pretty much a no-brainer it's true right it's true yeah yeah it was tough but luckily i had a few bullets up my sleeve you a share fan chief i do not like share more for me now there's only one thing standing between me share and saving american lives firing an actual for real life handgun turns out i'm a freaking natural oh all right well let's see how you did it all right i was trying to hit him in the dick but you didn't give me the cross basic firearms of course we just want to keep our shots in the center of the target yeah but you could make the target bigger so the crotch is in the center the head and then the shoulders and the arms then it comes here and then right here is just total crotch right now we're just trying to keep our shots in the center of the target so okay how'd i do you're good to go you pass and then i come back tomorrow and we continue the training if you want to train some more but this is um you know this is good this is it you're a good guy with a gun that's me there you go i knew it i knew it i knew it i done it i'd gone from gun idiot to idiot with a gun qualified to conceal a deadly weapon in most of the country probably in your home state with all of eight hours of training i was ready to handle every crisis situation you're not ready to handle every crisis situation who the hell are you i'm pete blair i'm the director of the alert program alert or the advanced law enforcement rapid response training program has trained over 80 000 cops to respond to active shooter events so why was this dude trying to jam up on my gun nuts because you've had one day of training i see how it is you want to take away our guns i wouldn't want to take away anybody's gun but i would want to help train them okay i'll tell you 30 states the nra and uncle sam all think that i'm good to go when it comes to guns how many rounds did you shoot is rounds bullets yes a ton 10 20 50. yeah and i shot him at the paper i would recommend more training come at me bro this is your weapon again i'm handing it to you as a hot weapon okay alert agreed to test my eastwood like reflexes in the following simulation there's an active shooter in the building with my glock 17 modified to shoot paintball like bullets i'm the good guy with a gun who's gonna take him down okay so you need to be ready it could happen in any second from this point on just need to be ready stop stop okay that was a test run i wasn't even ready probably not gonna be ready for it in real life but i get a do-over let's do it over again so i kneeled down and prepared to do battle and got shot again and again and again why was that so hard that was nothing like call of duty i told you it's not that simple yeah but the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun that's science uh that's inaccurate about one out of every five active shooter events gets stopped by a potential victim at the scene and most of those victims are unarmed where'd you get those stats from some liberal think tank like hillary pack no it's from the uh fbi report that came out last year a study of active share incidents from 2000 to 2013. obama's fbi it's the fbi yeah you believe that liberal claptrap i'm one of the co-authors of the report i took a closer look at his report and it pretty much proved my good guy theory there are some cases where we have good guys with guns who are able to stop this year most cases in very few cases half the cases not half a quarter of the cases not a quarter of the cases what's the percent it's about three percent three percent but these guys said the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun we must not have enough guns 97 more people had guns 100 of the time there'd be zero percent crime i'm not sure that's how math works pete it's simple gun goes bang bad guy falls down i get to have sex with cher what more do i need to learn if you're going to have a gun we recommend as much training as you can get fine i'll train some more alert uses this abandoned elementary school to teach law enforcement to respond to active shooter events their on-site trainers have over 40 years of combined experience in military law enforcement training with these guys i'd finally get enough training there's never enough training you're never good enough it's not so much a destination it's a journey but that destination is heroville in the state of [ __ ] land huh it's just i mean like when you're a hero cool stuff happens oh i've got a condo there it's a [ __ ] village but you guys should come by sometime absolutely i don't think that's gonna happen i'm getting lost in this metaphor yes yes after yet another four and a half more hours of training it was time to show them how it's done the scenario is as follows i hear shots fired at an elementary school police are on the way but with innocent civilians inside i have to draw my concealed handgun and respond with a high-tech safety helmet to cover my face and a towel to protect my dick and balls i'm ready to be a hero there's the bad guy mission accomplished [Music] [Applause] sorry okay so that wasn't the bad guy so where are the bad there they are there they are i'm being shot oh thank god the authorities are here i just hope they know i'm a good guy i had failed you guys need help i'm a good guy i was shot over 20 times by two different bad guys with guns and then the police mistook me for a bad guy and shot me a bunch too also i may have shot an unarmed teen twice in the chest it was tough being a good guy with a gun was starting to feel way more complicated than movies and video games and politicians make it seem it's a complex situation and you don't want to just give people guns and say you assume they know what they're going to do it requires a lot of training who's got time for that much training people who are going to dedicate their lives to protecting others that's it being a good guy with a gun just takes a lifetime commitment to training all we have to do is figure out who the good guys are get millions of them to volunteer for 300 hours of training a year costing billions of dollars then make sure they're in the right place at the right time guns at the ready and place this civilian army in our 4 700 colleges 5 700 hospitals 48 000 malls hundreds of thousands of churches you know america just do that or shouldn't we just i don't know figure out a way to not put a gun in this asshole's hand it's not my not my place for that all right i feel like that's an idea just try to to get this [ __ ] to not have a gun well i don't think that's gonna happen in our lifetime well it was worth a shot at least i can conceal a handgun almost everywhere sleep tight america [Music] you

I can't view the video.

But I do remember a news story about a good guy with a gun who killed a gunman with his own pistol, and then was, in turn, killed by police when they reached the scene. Spoilers! He was black.

Key statistics from this video: 3% of shootings are stopped by a good guy with a gun. And some percent of those 3% are shot by the cops.

I've seen this before! I swear it's aired in the last year or two. Anyway it's a great bit and bears multiple rewatches.
