Jim Jefferies Gun Control (FULL VIDEO Part 1 + 2) BARE Netflix Special REACTION
Possibly one of the greatest stand up routines ever! So good.
I think he's even better than Bill Burr.
John Oliver did a bit where he spoke to US politicians and Aussie politicians about gun control. It's actually funny and also kinda crazy seeing the different way we look at gun control. It might be an interesting reaction. He talks a bit about how Aussie gun laws changed after the Port Arthur massacre and what politicians think their job should be. As an Aussie myself I'm glad the politicians at the time did something to change things even though it wasn't as welcome as Jim Jefferies suggests in this
That series was quite extraordinary…. Incredible insights into (in my opinion) the idea of “career politicians” vs individuals who want to improve the lives of their constituents. One of the US politicians when asked what the goal/aim of his job was, literally said to be re-elected. His goal was to stay in power. Compared to the Aussie MP from QLD who lost his seat after the port Arthur gun laws - he said that was ok because he felt he was doing the best thing for his community. Not about power, about people.
Love your reactions!! ❤🐨

It was especially “funny” when one old dude said “yeah but this is the real world” after being told how effective gun control has been in Australia. Apparently we aren’t part of the real world, according to him. You can’t reason with people who have left their last two brain cells wander off.
Kellbo Rose,
John Oliver is amazing,
to instruct or entertain, (or, to hypnotize or indoctrinate)
via stage or screen, directors aren't just directing the actors on the stage or set, they are directing the attention of the audience,
& Oliver is able to keep us (me) interested long enough to learn something about how our media/news/political circus world works that's usually both absurd & true.
the purpose of the second amendment was to ensure that all americans took their own self protection seriously. there was never a provision to keep a standing army in the united states laid out in the constitution. the intent was that every american would be a part of a local militia who would defend his or her town from an invading force, should one ever come to our shores... this was the days on single shot muskets and cannons.
that is obviously not the way shit went down, but the second amendment is still the second amendment, and getting rid of it will never happen. it takes 3/4 of the states to ratify a new amendment, which is what would need to happen to repeal an existing amendment.
guns will be a part of america, forever. those that are unhappy with that particular paradigm are free to leave.
The reason Americans want guns for protection is because EVERY other American has guns. The reason we in other countries don't need guns for protection is because hardly anyone has guns! Fairly simple really and unfortunately a Catch 22 situation ... but dear God - AMERICA you simply "must" start somewhere... BAN Assault Rifles for heavens sake! Do a gun buyback system like we did in Australia. Or even institute a waiting period when you first apply for a gun... jesus Wept!
A Dunblane dad , flew to Australia to support Walter Mikac😢😢 who lost his wife and Toddlers , yes Toddlers in the Port Arthur Massacre
Although it is a tragic and terrible situation, itis nice to hear of some level of support from someone else who had suffered something similar. I guess they could have some sort of mutual support.
Ah Walter, heartbreaking. Walter Mikac was my local pharmacist years ago, before Port Arthur. I remember his wife Nanette popping into the shop one day with Alannah and Madeline, Madeline was very young. I remember the customers going to have a gig at Madeline, me included. Walter was so proud.
A few years later we heard what happened. Walter had left the pharmacy by then but the locals put so many flowers in front of the shop as we were devastated. I can still remember his smiling face when serving people. Sorry, I’m waffling now, when someone mentions his name, I remember his beautiful wife and children I only met once, but will never forget the smile of a proud mum, Nanette as we all clambered for look at the girls. why?? One looney with a gun - All 3 gone, along with so many others 💞
@@bernadettelanders7306 he used to live in Preston and would go to the same coffee shop as me with Nanette & the little ones. So sad.
@@v.b6028 I didn’t know where he lived but assumed local. It sure does hit harder when you’ve met them as you have. Such a beautiful family. And so many others too. I can’t imagine the hell people went through in Port Arthur.
So glad you did this and both parts together. His delivery is fantastic and he is making great points. As Kappy suggested in another video Jim's Taking an MD sufferer to a Prostitute is heartfelt and very funny.
Someone recommended Gun Control and I seen there was 2 parts to it so just thought it made more sense to do it all at once in case the second part just get's lost in the mix. Yeah I really like his delivery and content, very important stuff and some great comparisons. Even the name 'Taking an MD sufferer to a Prostitute' just makes me laugh so I cannot wait to see this one. Will probably do that video this coming week
@@MertAus haha it is a title that makes the mind boggle!
Brilliant!
You should watch John Oliver’s segments on gun control - amazing watching American politicians shoot themselves in the foot on the subject. Pun intended.
He did that show in Boston, so I'm guessing most everyone got it. Down here in Texas where I live, it would have been a lot more than 10% pissed off. The analogy between slavery and gun ownership is just checkmate. The arguments for responsible slave ownership were exactly like that, and it reveals how stupid they truly are. Great reaction!
Who argued for the ownership of slaves?
@@1911GreaterThanALL Confederate plantation owners.
@@briantitchener4829 who happen to be the same dems demanding every one give up there guns
@@brendonrookes1151 No one is advocating people give up their guns. Democrats are saying there needs to be realistic controls in place as to who can get a gun. If you're mentally unstable you shouldn't be allowed a gun, if you're inclined to be violent then you don't get to own a gun. Assault rifles like AR-15s shouldn't be available for anyone, but there are plenty of other guns to choose from. This is vastly different to giving up your guns.
@@utha2665 theres allredy those steps put in place at usa if you have a criminal background ( being violent ) you cant get a gun and who decides if your mentaly unwell enought to get a gun thirdly if the goverment is so corrupt why on earth would you want them to be the only ones with guns ? im guessing you dont curently own or know some one that ownes guns the myth that you can walk off the street and buy a gun is bs they do a background check with the fbi on you before selling you a gun
A gunman killed 36 ppl in Tasmania in 1996. Our govt toghred up gun laws and did a big buyback of high-powered weapons for ppl who didn't really need them. We haven't had a mass killing since.
Horrifically, an Australian killed more than 50 Muslims in New Zealand a few years ago (and livestreamed it, which is beyond despicable). He chose NZ because he knew he could get high-powered weapons to carry out the crime. NZ has since tightened up its gun laws.
That's not true even after the gun bye backs Australia has many times had mass shootings. A mass shooting means 3 or more people where shot. In any case stabbings still happen every day in both Australia and Britain, I think most Americans would rather have the right to carry a pistol than be forever reliant on the police. Hell I'm in Australia and have been to the city many times and felt scared by large groups of thugs as I don't have pistols, and my rifles have to stay on the farm. When visiting friends I don't have a pistol to protect myself or my friends if thugs break in 🤷♂️ Americans are very lucky to have that piece of mind that they can legally carry a pistol.
About NZ: most kiwis are just as dumb as most aussies. You own guns for self defence 🤷♂️
they where legally allowed to own guns, yet they chose not to Carry any guns to the mosque ohwell bad luck to them. They allowed themselves to be victims.
@@resiefan3258 Perhaps you'd rather live in the US, then?
I’m a proud American and I love my country, it’s most of the people I can do without, especially in the last 10 years or so.
haha even I feel like that about being British and British people. It seems like everyone has lot the plot over the last 10 years haha
At least the Trump era has gone. We replaced Boris with someone who made Boris look smart and competent lol
Im Australian and the opposite applies here, our Prime Minister is not thought of as our "Leader" we dont have them, we have a group that we elect to "manage" the country. Do a good job and you can stay, screw up, we throw you out no matter if you are labor (left) or Liberal (right). Murdochs control of our media in the last federal and state election in Victoria, tried desperately to get the Liberals elected. The whole country said F**K you Murdoch and voted the opposite. We are worried about our cousins in the UK and America, some really piss poor decision and electing sub standard assholes.
@@ReedoTV Don't you bank on it!!
Loving your country doesn't mean you can't want to change it for the better.
Patriots love their country and want to make it better, nationalists are people who think their country is perfect.
Being a patriot requires you to question the way things are done, not to ignore it.
This video was made in 2006. The 1996 Port Arthur Massacre (35 deaths) HAS SINCE been beaten by the 2016 Orlando Nightclub massacre (49 deaths + the perp) and the 2017 Las Vegas shooting (60 victims + the perp). But note that it took the USA TWENTY YEARS to beat it.
2015 in Paris, Islamic terrorists shot 600, killing 130.
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. From Port Arthur until those events there would have been hundreds of mass shootings of 5-10 people. The regular occurence is the real issue, the sheer number of people or the age of the children, just make it worse. Columbine was in 1999. That should have been a good enough reason to fix their problem.
US #1?
It was filmed in 2014, not 2006. So sadly the gap between that special and those events is not as long as you indicate. But, hypothetically speaking, if the US government paid attention to those kinds of criticisms and enacted reasonable laws in response, do you think they could have been prevented?
The United States had 617 mass shootings last year.
That's nearly 2 per day.
Jim's Gun Control routine is so true and on point. The sad point is he has to turn his observations into a comedy routine.....
Great reaction again mate!!
Jim is a philosopher, who uses comedy to reflect his o so valid views of the world as it is 🥰
Why do you think he escaped Australia?
@@1stsampan More money in America, Ricky Gervais did the same thing (left England) !!💖
@@jennklein1917 Exactly. More freedom, more money.
@@1stsampan Have you seen Jim's observations about "freedumb" in America?
So glad you really respect the intellect of Jim's humour. A lot of people miss it.
Im 57, and a g/f of mine from high school married a Pomme (Jack) and bought him back to West Aussie. Fast forward and years later we all sat down in my lounge room to watch this together.....After the gun control segment, Jack says out loud, with a totally straight face "Watch out, the Aussies have been unleashed on the Yanks. They better learn real fast not to argue with an Aussie, just like I had to learn that Aussies don''t argue back unless they know their sh*t"" ...... I looked at my g/f and busted out laughing so hard I couldn't breath - I call her the old fishwife now lol
The Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania (1996) was the biggest when this recording was made with 35 deaths but the Vegas concert massacre in 2017 is now the largest (60 deaths).
In 2011 a right wing extremist killed seventy people in Norway.
Really shocking stuff Nikita. Just read all about it there and really saddened by it.
@@petermcculloch4933 2015 in Paris, Islamic terrorists shot 600, killing 130.
Most of us, Americans actually agree with Jim, a majority of us either think guns should be banned or restricted more than they are but it’s the 30 or 40% of us who think the guns is what really makes them American and don’t wanna give them up despite the fact we lose 40,000 Americans every year to gun violence of one kind or another.
I’m not from America so I’m only speculating but from my point of view it sounds like your constitution is taught heavily in schools and it gives people the attitude they have today about rights to owning guns etc, but without exploring the big picture. The second amendment is a complete joke it’s so outdated and irrelevant today
One of the things that Jim doesn't mention about the Australian government gun ban was that it was a CONSERVATIVE government that led the campaign.
Yeah I think if ity happened in the past 10 years we'd not have had the same response. Our gun ban happened before the current climate of culture wars and making sure the other side doesn't get what they want. The Liberal party today (For non australians they are confusingly named conservative party in Australia), would not have done the same thing as its run by people much further right, then the Liberal party in the 90's.
It's also irrelevant?
@@MrProthall It's very relevant.
@MrProthall it's incredibly relevant. The side known to endorse gun ownership out of both sides came together with bipartisan support and common sense to ensure safety for the people. They put aside differences and *very* quickly enacted good policy for the safety of the people. A minority objected but even now, twenty something years later, it's still a successful policy.
Yes, as much "conservative" as Mitt Romney :)
BTW, it didn't make a dent in homicide rate. Still the same. But Australia got successfuly rid of freedom.
Great Aussie comedian. A massive rabbit hole to explore
Yeah I am still working my way through the Tim Minchin rabbit hole, now I have another great comedian to learn about. Going to need to plan how I am going to do them all. Seems like I will be still doing them in a years time but it is all good stuff so I am excited for it.
@@MertAus Love Tim, great muso as well! BRILLIANT 🥰🥰🥰
Great reaction.. I have seen Jim Jeffries live twice and it was brilliant..
You should listen to his skit on “taking a MD sufferer to a brothel” it’s bloody hilarious.
I have seen some Americans react to jim talking about guns with so much anger.. it’s like healthcare..a lot of Americans would love universal healthcare but many are against it, which I don’t get.. why would you be against helping people..I’m a nurse and spent some time working in the US.. so many people thought that we were stupid to have free education, healthcare and gun control
Yeah for sure it seems like their priorities are definitely skewed. It seems like a large number of Americans are almost brainwashed into accepting that the way things are at the moment is the best way but I hope the younger generation can get out of that mindset and see that the things you mentioned (free education, healthcare and gun control) are best for their society.
American here, and I have to tell you, most of us do want universal healthcare. We really do, and we're not against helping people. We want to do it. The problem is the private insurance lobby has our politicians by the gonads. They bought and paid for all of our elected officials who then get up in Congress and go on about how costs are going to rise, how you won't have any choice of doctors, basically scare people into believing all kinds of stuff that just isn't true in other countries. And it's not dumb people who believe it either. I'm a librarian, I work all day getting people accurate information and I have coworkers who don't know that paying an extra $150-$200 a month in taxes for universal healthcare is still going to be cheaper than the $350 a month we all pay for crappy private insurance that has lovely little things like "copays" and "in network doctors only" and HMO plans offered by the same company that offers PPO plans, but the specialist your child needs to see only takes the PPO plan but not the HMO plan...from the same company. So you still have to pay out of pocket for care. (my story) We have free education too, and threaten to take that away and people freak out. But compare free education to free healthcare as just something the government provides and some people simply cannot get their brains to click into place to accept it. That's how deep the private insurance industry has dug in. We do have a universal healthcare system, Medicaid, but you only qualify for it if you make under $30K a year and you have a long list of specifications. And it's administered on a state by state level, so conservative states basically have zero functional Medicaid due to all the cuts, and most people just go without it and go to the ER when they get sick. (In America the ER has to treat you for a medical crisis, whether you can pay or not. They bill you, but poor people just don't pay it and the hospital eats the costs. The state is supposed to reimburse the hospitals but often they don't) So that's what we're working with on *healthcare.* Try talking to people about guns and people flippin lose their minds. Personally, I think every gun in America should be rounded up and burned and if you MUST own one, you go through a thorough background check, mental healthcare check, you need at least 3 references to testify that you're not nuts, take a gun safety class, qualify on a range, and have a method in your house to secure them and this must be licensed and renewed yearly, like we do with our drivers' licenses. Suggest even that and people want to fight you. It's nuts. The NRA is a powerful lobby with a lot of money to spend and they do. There's a shooting every day in my city as a result. One happened in a "good" neighborhood right outside the mall. I was less than 500 yards away driving down the road. 4 people died right there in the street. It's on UA-cam, someone filmed it. Those of you in sane countries, never ever let someone tell you that you need guns, private healthcare or private education. Guard what you have with everything you've got. You can at least walk your streets safely.
@@ashxf wrong
@@ashxf it’s amazing that solving your gun problem would probably also save your healthcare problems 🤷🏼♀️ Glad i live in a country where I don’t have to worry about either.
Awesome reaction Mat, another Aussie atheist for your repertoire!!
Thanks Dr KAP. Appreciate it. Yeah really enjoying finding out about these Aussie comedians. Going to be doing a lot more reactions of them for the forseeable future haha
👍
With respect to Kevin the security guard I would like to refer you to the less than stellar performance of the Uvalde police department.
It was appalling, I watched that footage and couldn't unsee what I saw. They stood there shitting there pants while they listen to the children being shot, protection rifles trained professionals and had know idea how to respond to the scene . A Lot of ammitures running around America with guns. Very sad
I think you'd like "Australia's Deadliest Animals (song)"
For rough, unvarnished truth, this routine is up there with anything George Carlin ever did. And that's the highest compliment I can give any comedian.
By the way, that was not the reason the 2nd Amendment was written. That's a right-wing talking point, and a bizarre one at that. What government is going to write a provision into the rules that says the populace has the right to overthrow it? It's nonsense. The word "militia" in the amendment did not mean then what it means now. Back then, there was no standing army in the US. The new government had no money to keep and equip an army, so there was an actual _requirement_ that every male of adult age have a firearm so they could be called up _to form a militia_ and fight FOR the government of the US. The amendment was pushed heavily by the southern states (which had the most slaves by far) because the slaveowners there were terrified of slave rebellions and uprisings. That wasn't a paranoid fantasy; it happened several times. And of course, by the time the government could finance a standing army, the damn thing had been in effect so long that it was impossible to get rid of it because all those gun owners woudl scream bloody murder. Thus here we are, with every fucqwit in the country given free rein to own as many weapons as possible, of design and capability that the founders could not possibly have dreamed of, and which they would NEVER have allowed the populace to have if they'd known things would come to this insane pass. But just try telling Bubba and his half-wit cousins that. (Also, there's the whole childish fetish over the "Wild West" that too many people still cling to. They conveniently forget that back in those days, guns _were not allowed_ in any Western village, town, or city. They had to be left at home or surrendered to the authorities when entering the town limits, to be returned when the owner left. But being raised on bullshit Hollywood movies, people actually believe that there were gunfights in the streets at all hours, when in truth events like the OK Corral happened _outside_ the town. Again, inconvient information, so the gun nuts just ignore it.)
Lived 10 years in Canada and they have the same mentality as Australians and Uk, also lived in USA and is a scary place with all those guns.
I agree, so many great points that it makes it hard to justify their gun laws. I guess they accept the risk that their children can be shot to death in a primary school in exchange for the 'freedom' to buy full auto weapons
Yeah it is a very sad situation, in my opinion. It seems so ingrained in American culture and way of life. Hopefully one day they can just get by without them and the school shootings can stop.
That last statement displays a good bit of ignorance .
@@caddyguy5369 That statement shows your lack of intelligence

check out Jim's "Taking an MD sufferer to a prostitute" lol, its GOLD
This one will be coming this week. I said on another comment that just the same itself makes me laugh so I cannot wait to see what it is actually about haha
Great reaction.
You should react to AUSTRALIA'S DEADLIEST ANIMALS (SONG)
You should check out Freedumb next. Airport etiquette is also fantastic.
I think taking an MD sufferer to see a prostitute is his best - possibly even better than this one!!
Thanks Peter and Dr KAP. Will check these ones out soon. Will being another reaction on his work this week so will keep these in mind.
If you REALLY want a laugh you need to watch his "Taking an MD sufferer to a prostitute" episode, which was part of his ALCOHOLOCAUST show. He started in the pub BEBORE the show, and by the time he got to this part he was plastered, as you can tell by his voice in several sections (and the fact there was three schooners of beer on stage with him at the start, which is only apparent if you watch the whole show).
You MUST see his "Taking an MD sufferer to a prostitute. It's absolutely brilliant!
This one will be coming in the coming week for sure Nici haha, Thanks
This is quite old now so it's good to have it revived for new viewers. He's a brilliant social comedian & very "salient".😄
His bits on religion are hilarious too. You'll love Jim.
What. 16 dollars an hour. The minimum wage is over 21 dolllars an hour in Australia..
I don't think JJ is really on the gear like he says or he wouldn't be able to keep his very clever act coherent. He often appears humorously tipsy while downing copious amounts of beer which I also think is part of the act. It allows him to make wandering, brutally in-your-face observations and funny twists with that Australian grrrrr about it. Funny but harmless.
haha that is a good point. I feel like I am going to really enjoying finding out more about him and seeing more of his stuff. Seems like a really cool guy with some interesting subject matter.
He's an idiot who by his own admision prefers to be attacked by burglars and tied up against his will by men with axes than actualy be allowed the right to protect himself. Good luck to him and all the other gay lords in Australia if the government or the Chinese decide to do martial law in Sydney with their guns. he's stuffed
It’s not that odd that people would laugh and agree with him. The majority of us Americans are for at least some gun control. Most of us are well aware of how ridiculous gun culture is in this country.
Quite a promising reaction. 😎👍
If you're not too religious you might want to take a look at these videos ..
Jim Jefferies - Stand up against religion
Jim Jefferies talks about atheism
George Carlin (GOAT) - Stand up against religion
They sound really good. I am really not religious at all. I am not an athiest. I am more agnostic. I just don't really have any time or care for religion but have respect for people who follow religion. It just isn't and has never been part of my life. Will defo check those ones out (I already reacted to Tim Minchin's thoughts on religion and really enjoyed them).
The most important thing is that we've made it difficult for children to get their hands on guns here in Australia.
Jim and another Australian comedian called Steve Hughs were roomates, and both were attacked during that home invasion. Steve even has a bit about it.
As an Aussie, I love them both. Amazing laconic Aussie wit.
He was talking about the Port Arthur massacre. It was around the time of Dunblane. I think it was 35 people. At the time he recorded this, it hadn't been beaten, it since has 😞
He can turn the obvious into comedy. JJ is brilliant!
Though this is for jokes and laughs, these jokes are based on ground facts.
Here from Missouri, USA. Everything he said was straight facts. We have multiple mass shootings now every day. And we have politicians actively fighting AGAINST gun control. I always know where the exits are when I enter a public space. We're pretty well f*cked over here, man.
Awesome reaction mate. Keep it up 👍
Thanks Steve, really appreciate the kind words. Got a lot more work from many comedians and action from sports to keep my busy for the forseeable future but looking forward to it.
The issue in America is it is a HYPER-VIOLENT society. People DO mug you, and break into houses and hold up gas stations, with guns..
Happened again just the other day. Guy holds up shop, shop owner shoots him and he shoots the shop owner, BOTH DIED.
2 rednecks were road-raging in hillbilly pickups, BOTH fired off rounds at each other, and BOTH hit the other guys kid in the back seat. BOTH CHARGED and 2 injured children.
Only through regulation and licensing will they START to remove the illegal guns from criminals in their society. IT WILL TAKE YEARS.. But this is the ONLY way to reduce their gun crime.
Reversing the societal decay would be much more effective at reducing violent crime than requiring permission from daddy government to have an inanimate chunk of metal.
@@caddyguy5369 We have the same "societal issues" as you do.. whats your solution genius? Too scared to fill out a form?
Everything Jim says here is correct..
@@BassMatt1972 Why are you quoting "societal issues" I didn't say that. That is not how quotes work.
What are all the same societal issues as you see them?
Scared to fill out a form or not is entirely not the point.
Jim is pretty funny, but you are a much better comedian if you actually believe that last line.
Are the criminals going to follow the regulation and licensing?
How about defensive firearm use. What do you think criminal stats in the US would look like if we did what you propose? Violent crime, not the narrow minded view of "gun" crime.
I must mention, here in australia once guns were banned, the sale of knives went through the roof. The one extremely important aspect that moome is addressing is....human nature. Take the knives away and it'll be baseball bats and tyre irons. If people are pissed off, they don't care what they use as long as they get a result. Until the universe has one huge Relaxa Tab , nothing will change.
This show he did was perfection! The arguements, the structure, the performance and the jokes all came together perfection. It's a pity his act also includes a huge amount of misogyny.
Jim is brilliant! I enjoyed your comments too coz it’s exactly what mine are. I can watch this over and over! Please also Watch “Freedumb” and “Airplane etiquette “
Actually we didn’t just accept it. The population was demanding action. We as a people (the vast majority), said enough, get it sorted.
Gotta check out god drunk at a party or airplane etiquette
Lol. This is hilariously ignorant of our violent history.
the massacre happened in Port Arthur Tasmania
Thanks Molly. I just googled it. Absolutely shocking. I guess I was quite young at the time of it and maybe that's why I have never heard of it but it's so frightening to read about.
Steve Hughes, Offended live at the Apollo is brilliant.
Did you get leprosy? He cracks me up.
I'll be honest - I'm not a 'gun fan' - but if I lived in America.... welp.... MAYBE....
I thought the US had the biggest massacre back in the 1800s with around 260-300 native tribesmen.women and children in the Rockies area.
Not biggest anymore, Hamas took more lives in that first day. Port Arthur 35 dead, 22 wounded I believe
Guns are not banned in the UK. Semi automatic over 22 LR is. But the control is strikter. I live in Norway, we are somewhere in the middle. We have the same ban for autos and semi's over 22LR. But you can own guns here, as you can in the UK. I have five myself, 10-22 TD, a CZ 22, a 12 G, 308W and a 30-06. But both the UK and here have strikter gun control and rules about safes and the way to store ammo and som on. But I have them for hunting and sports. Not for self defence. :)
It wasn’t an easy decision for John Howard, I was never a fan, and the Liberal Coalition (for non-Aussies/Kiwis) it is the combination of the Liberals and the National Party (basically a party that represent farmers), so that means the Nationals weren’t that happy, and Howard went to rural places where, scared for good reason, wearing a bulletproof vests and there was not a minor risk. Plenty of chance of a shot to the head or neck. The threats were had to be taken seriously. I used to walk around the property with guns, and the Port Arthur massacre happened a bit later. I was a bit conflicted, because I liked guns, was concerned about invasion risks etc, but as I grew older, I have to admit, Howard was courageous. Oh, the other reason I was conflicted is my mother received a post card sent from a victim posted that morning. True story.
Very funny. 😂 I agree with a lot of it and love our gun laws in Australia, but to be fair:
- They didn’t take all the guns in Australia, just semi-auto long arms
- Gun owners weren’t happy about the mandatory buy back, that is BS
- There are actually more guns in Australia now than before Port Arthur
- There are guns called defence this and that, contrary to what he said
- There are countless examples in the US where home owners have stopped home invaders with guns
- If you have a dog, you’ll be alerted to intruders well before they get to your window (my dog certainly will)
- Biometric safes are very quick to open. Who tf uses a combination lock if you have the choice?
It makes me laugh, when Jim says about needing a thesaurus instead of a constitution; then says if you don't know what a thesaurus is, get a dictionary and work your way forward. The audience laughs at him inferring they are stupid. Comical.
TBH, I was a bit hesitant to click and watch this video, since I've heard Jim Jefferies in the past and he's turned me right off with some of the extremely misogynistic crap he's come out with.
But in this case, I was actually finding myself smiling and laughing at him because he was 1 zillion percent on point. (Although, there were times when I didn't find him too humourous, making light of certain tragedies such as the Sandy Hook massacre).
He smashed every stupid theory as to why American believe they're righteously entitled to own a gun. Which, as Jim said, doesn't have too much weight to their argument anyway, besides using the Second Amendment - which CAN legitimately be VERY EASILY amended at any time.
Thank you for sharing this clip and sharing your views with us.
We visited Port Arthur in Tasmania - I won't say the 'joke' I made going in but my partner laughed WAY too hard. It was a total tragedy and if you look it up many certain people will say it was a government hit job and not just one gun man etc. Not true - I know the main detective that worked on that case. He told me EVERYTHING! In fact - more Australians bought more guns after the 'buy back guns' by John Howard was put into action. Just a fact.
Whether you like guns or not, it's too late to go back now.. There are just under 400 million LEGALLY registered firearms in the US and at least 100 million more non registered.. It's easy for a government to collect a few thousand guns in Australia.. How are you going to collect at the very least 500 million guns? And pay for them because people aren't going to hand over thousands of dollars for nothing
"Why are Americans obsessed with something so old?
Anyway, God Save The King. "
You’re not quite right about the reaction to Dunblaine. Firstly, it’s a myth that we banned guns - guns are in fact legal even today. What they did was ban certain guns and made the background checks much more stringent to control the people who could get access to guns. Secondly, there was a huge backlash to this at the time including well attended marches (Boris Johnson was a prominent spokesperson for one such group opposed to the new measures) and protests. The changes were passed and they did have the support of most of the population, but there was a significant minority who steadfastly opposed the tightening of restrictions
Be aware that guns were not banned in Australia after the Port Arthur killings , but the gun laws were very much thightened in trying to make almost impossible to own one if you have not a valid reason for doing so. And rapid fire assualt weapons were the prime target, as all hunters and target shooters see them as no sane shooters who have any need for them.
It's too late for America!
There would be bloody carnage.
Even though I would hate to live like that, the deterrent is the only deterrent...
A bit like eating animals, (and we do have our gilts) these animals get two choices, Be treated fairly and have a life then die humanely, or a life without farmers they would all be extinct within ten years?
All answers are in the opponents point of view.
But that is only my opinion.
I used to like JJ, however his rhetoric in recent years has changed to woke Hollywood nonsense.
He heavily edits interviews with people to suit the new acceptable narrative.
He is no longer a comedian with free thought, but a mouthpiece of champagne socialist propaganda.
Hmm, the Port Arthur massacre was only a month after Dunblane. It happened near me, at a place that my family used go to regularly. It was my playground and it was turned into something monstrous but the lives that were saved after is the only right legacy for Port Arthur and Dunblane and... so many, now famous, places in America.
Do Jim Jefferies ' freedumb ' he rips America to shreds in that too
Sounds good haha. Will check it out soon Stepehen thanks.
I'm not sure who said it, but it was stated "If it cost a thousand dollars for one bullet, there would be less shootings!".
Its because its practically impossible to change our Constitution.
Itd literally be easier to unify Ireland or abolish the monarchy.
Bring back Prohibition then do a "trade off" Guns for Booze..?!
That would be port Arthur absolutely terrible and changed Australia for the better that’s our silver lining ❤️
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. We have hunting guns, but it's a lengthy process to be licensed. A psych evaluation, background checks etc. I have never walked into a restaurant or grocery store and stood behind someone strapped to the teeth with guns. Sorry. I would leave everything and walk out!!! Yeesh!
A great routine which you completely ruined by your constant interruptions !!!
The majority of the people that don't like or think he is entitled to his opinion are in fact just as if not more opinionated, but they aren't hilarious. One of his best bits ever..😂
These amendments are antiquated. I’m sure their forefathers would be turning in their graves if they knew what had become of their 2nd amendment
The best comedy is based on the truth.. Americans..one hand on the Bible..the other hand.. on a gun.
I never get the “image if you had a gun” response at the story about the break in in Manchester. “image if you had a gun”… bro they would’ve had one too and it would turn into a shootout wtf
Just found this, but maybe look up “The front fell off “ John Clarke
Jim has another great set about pulling the pin on a train…
Sadly Jim has now sold out - sold his soul - this was his last great stand up. Now he's a shell to big corporations hosting naff shows. Shame - he was one of my favorite stand ups.
Please watch the full story of the Port Arthur Massacre.
It's not a pleasant story by any means, but the full story just sounds like something that could never happen in Australia.
The best reaction to JJ I've seen and I have watched many. Well done!
The crowd are laughing because they agree with him
I forgot how much you waffle on and continually stop the video. 😐
It's amusing but it doesn't take into account that people might use a gun in their business, or walking down the street, for their protection
American here, I loved all of this. I also don't understand how Americans are so obsessed with guns.. I know my dad has had one in his safe since I was young, I've never once seen it. I don't think he's ever taken it out, maybe at times to service it or clean it. I feel like one of the few on the anti gun side. Not that I want all guns gone, but at least more regulations.
Exactly, noone wants to take the baby's rattle away, we're just asking for common sense. I must say, i'm appalled at the number of people who can't even grasp the basics of his points. To me these people would be a potentialy loose cannon. Just what society needs............sigh.
Republican gun lovers you spoke of are also the folks who fought to end slavery.
My friend thought Gun Control was a 'bloody good shot'..
Jim Jefferies Taking a MD sufferer to a prostitute It is awsome
Cheers

Great review, but too much talking!!😁
Jim Jeffries is now a naturalised American, by the way.
A bloke shot a crowd of tourists at Port Arthur @ previous convict prison
Dont worry, America took the gun massacre record off us again years ago.
I'm sure someone has already said. But the Las Vegas massacre beat it. Until then Port Arthur massacre was the largest.
Bro to u stop the video to repeat what he just said and you repeat your same point over and over again let the video play more
The biggest massacre by a lonely gunman was in Norway 2011 I think. Anders Berhing Breivik 👍🇳🇴
Look up port Arthur and you'll get your answer
Very good arguments against guns.
One massacre in Tassie i think um, Tassie isn't even mainland
It's impossible t legislate against stupid!ity!
