This always gets brought up now days and most of the shit he says about Australia is so horribly incorrect and factually wrong.

A stupid video to ever bring up in regards to this stuff.

And having a CCW license wouldn't have helped those two, that much is obvious, guy basically crept up on them, they had no chance.

The one main thing I hated about america especially in the south.

Went to Arkansas for a month a couple of years ago to visit my dear late fiance and couldn't believe my eyes that you would have a bank right next to a gun shop. Didn't even feel comfortable walking a sidewalk for about a block wondering if something would happy to me. This was around the time the Australian Baseballer was murdered in Oklahoma by a senseless drive-by.

If only Americans were this passionate about universal Healthcare as they are about the 2nd amendment.


2 people senselessly murdered.

Another debate on gun control that will lead to nowhere.

Professional pest controllers.

Plenty in Australia have AR15's or modified AK's and the like as well as other pattern semi autos.

FMD you right wing blokes have some of the best examples of cognitive dissonance. The lack of the ability to use logic AT ALL and the penchant for making analogies that make absolutely no fucking sense is hilarious. I just feel sorry for any potential children you'll have in the future. You're so fucking backwards it hurts my head.

Hate to do this, but Jim Jefferies made a great point when he said that in regards to gun control, society has to adapt to its slowest members.

I fucking hate guns. The only thing thing guns are good for, is ending reality TV junkies.

They're not talking about cockroaches, termites or the sorts of snakes and spiders that can kill a couple thousand people with a drop or two of venom (although if you'd come across those, you'd probably want a fully automatic AR-15, and a couple hand grenades for good measure! :lol: ). Things like Wild Pigs, and Wild Dogs, plenty of introduced species running amock out in the outback causing havoc to the natural fauna and flora. Pretty much the only way you can get a semi-automatic AK/AR rifle is if you're one of those. And it's incredibly difficult to acquire a license for one. Heck, it's hard enough to get just the most basic firearms license for a .22 or something.

The Americans who are so nutjob on there stupid gun rights won't allow anything to change until it's there own children who get mowed down. No civilian needs a fucking automatic weapon without at the very least showing cause.

It's a constitutional right because in 1791, when there was a greater degree of lawlessness and there was no proper police force, it was necessary that individuals should be able to bear arms to protect themselves. There's a profound and excellent dimension of US politics insofar as individual rights are protected. In 1791, the best way of protecting the individual's rights was to permit the individual to bear arms.

Today however, there is proper law enforcement in the US (well, allegedly).

There were any number of rights which people exercised in Britain in hundreds of years ago which either no longer exist (because they are no longer necessary) or custom dictates that they no longer demanded. In fact, it's often the latter. Britain still has the death penalty for high treason. However, this would never be enforced.

I gather that, strictly speaking, in the UK an expectant mother has the right to urinate in a policeman's helmet.

Would this ever happen? No.

This says a lot about the States and its curious political nuances. They still interpret rights which are no longer necessary (in fact downright dangerous) literally and demand those rights. It speaks of the emphasis on individual rights, the inability to deal with unnecessary/dangerous rights in today's society, the entrenched right-wing politics and the sheer stupidity of a large proportion of the society.

While sweeping change will never happen thanks to the 2nd amendment, what they really do need is a uniform and better system in place like in Australia for actually getting these things.

Of course they will jump up and down and scream blur murder about their rights, but the fact is it isn't changing their right to bear arms, just their ability to obtain them so easily.

Being able to walk into a shot show and pay cash for a weapon and not have to do any paperwork or any background checks is just retarded.

Even the 2nd amendment right to bear arms is controversial in its wording. The Supreme Court definitively ruled that it applied to individuals.

But the historical context is that it likely was making reference to state militias as "the people", rather than individuals.

I always laugh at the "we need guns to defend against tyrannical govt" line... So you and your mates are going to be able to stave off a military armed with tanks, drones, missiles, NUCLEAR BOMBS etc...
