In the latest episode of his Apple TV+ series The Problem with Jon Stewart, Stewart sat down with Oklahoma senator Nathan Dahm to discuss the lawmaker’s pro-gun stance as the US faces an increased number of mass shootings. The Republican politician has filed bills loosening Oklahoma gun restrictions. This included an anti-‘red flag’ law which would make it easier for people who are deemed dangerous by police or family members to access firearms.
Dahm said he believed that allowing more guns into the US will result in a safer nation, which Stewart quickly called into question. He asked, “You’re saying more guns makes us more safe?” to which Dahm said yes. Dahm proceeded to proverbially shoot himself in the foot when Dahm argued it’s the “individual that is the problem” rather than easy access to firearms.
Jon Stewart also questioned Dahm about why he and many other Republicans want to ban children from seeing drag performances. Stewart asked the politician why he felt so strongly about the kid-friendly and physically harmless events but cared very little about the gun violence epidemic in the US. The interview clip has been widely shared on social media with many, including basketball legend LeBron James, praising Stewart for holding Dahm to account and interrogating him on his pro-gun, anti-drag logic.
