Default Jim Jefferies - Gun Control

If you're for or against it...one things for certain it can be turned into a hilarious subject matter.

Warning: Very strong language

Meh. He lost me after the protection gun bit as if all guns are assault rifles.

He made some good points...
Except for one...
His assessment of Security guard average pay was way too generous.

$16.00 an hour?



I like him. He's funny.

Now read this one. Sure you got out of massacres, but what did you gain in exchange?

See he is trying to lead everyone to believe that once Australia passed there gun ban, everything just became hunky dory. Not so much. Just read the second link.

You will get multiple sources. Have at it. I'm sure you will find some who are credible and others who are less so. The link I posted didn't mention that the rape rate went up significantly also.
And look which one is the first link when you do that search http://theconversation.com/faking-wa...me-stats-11678

Come back when you actually know what you are talking about and we may be able to have a reasonable conversation about the subject.

Correct. One of the "facts" he misinformed his audience on was that we can't get guns down here.

Certain guns are not available to the general public without special license restrictions and other weapons can be purchased as long as you have a license and the appropriate storage facilities which are subject to a police check prior to purchase.

Of course explaining that in a comedy routine would be needlessly tedious.

What he got right is that we've thrown out the spurious home defence argument and replaced it with the "I like guns" argument. Which in all honesty is the only argument that makes sense.

Come on Tar

Really?

Folks don't have to like the fact that I own an "assault death weapon machine ghost gun with the thing that goes up"

All they have to do is respect my right to own guns... Even if there are people that don't understand a thing about them

That's comedy for you.

Read the story. He's been doing quantum physics since before he was 8.

And you like guns. Enjoy them safely.

He lost me when he used his one experience (being robbed while he was naked) a base for every home robbery in the World.

Because he was naked, I guess everyone else will be just as unable to get to a gun if they had one.

Then I am reminded of the growing crime spree taking place in the United States. That is home invasion. These people are not interested in your TV, and in most cases are not interested in anything except breaking in to your home.

The problem is, in most cases they only plan on getting in. They make no plans for getting out. That's when they start displaying the true freaks that they are, and begin tormenting your family right in front of you stuff like that.

And there are multiple cases every year of people waking up in the middle of the night to a break in. Giving them plenty of time to open the safe, load the gun, find the criminal, and take care of business.
