Re: Jon Stewart interviews ATF agent on guns (12 mns)

Listened to it mostly. Stewart sounded so disappointed that something can’t be done about guns. Anti types like him are just too fixated on the object and not the real problem. ATF guy was disappointed that more couldn’t be done nationally and seemed to think a larger ATF would address the issues. It wouldn’t.

I watched about half of it too. I like Jon Stewart, he was better on the Daily Show than the guy who followed him. Jon Stewart is a New Yorker and has a typical NY perspective on firearms. David Chipman was Biden's nominee for ATF director and his nomination was withdrawn, there was Republican and Democratic opposition to his confirmation. Typical anti-gunner stuff, you saw Gifford's Center flashed up at the start of the video because Chipman works there.

Homicide detectives know that a spouse, domestic partner or someone the victim knew is likely the murderer, but it doesn't always have to be an intimate partner.
Overall, 76% of female murders and 56% of male murders were perpetrated by someone known to the victim. About 16% of female murder victims were killed by a nonintimate family member—parent, grandparent, sibling, in-law, and other family member—compared to 10% of male murder victims. A larger percentage of males (21%) were murdered by a stranger than females (12%). For 1 out of every 3 male murder victims and 1 out of every 5 female murder victims, the relationship between the victim and the offender was unknown.

The law that was overturned in Texas and that ruling was upheld by the 5th Circuit, was the federal law on DV and guns. State laws regarding firearms and protection or stay away orders are still in effect.
