Considering that he was once attacked onstage while performing at the Manchester Comedy Store, it’s interesting to hear Australian comic Jim Jefferies’ stance on guns – of which he is entirely opposed.
In this bit from a show he did in 2014, Jefferies brilliantly and hilariously points out the absurdity of America’s reaction to mass shootings as opposed to his native Australia.
“In Australia, we had the biggest massacre on earth, the Australian government went, ‘That’s it! No more guns!’ And we all went, ‘Yeah, alright then. That seems fair enough.’ Now in America, you have the Sandy Hook Massacre where little, tiny children died, and your government went, ‘Maybe – we’ll get rid of the BIG guns?’”
Watch:
This video is pretty much what most Australians think regarding US gun control. For those passionate about their rights to carry arms, would love to hear your stance/opposition to this after watching the video. Would also love to hear from those who agree.
I know that this kind of thing can be a rather tense subject so let's keep it nice and civil fellas!
