Gun Supporting Americans First Time See | Jim Jefferies - Gun Control (Part 1) 

“We need guns for self defence in America. We have dangerous animals!” Me: laughs in Australian.

It's blatantly obvious that if schools need armed security, then something has gone seriously wrong. No other developed nation even needs to consider such an extreme measure and it is an extreme measure. The fact that there are more mass shootings, in the US, than there are days in a year and that the US has more gun deaths each year than the whole of Europe, by quite some margin, are also little clues that something is seriously wrong. This needs a more comprehensive answer than extra mental health checks...

As a veteran, let me just say that there are many fellow veterans who shouldn't be anywhere near a school room with a gun. There's a reason that active duty soldiers have to store their personal weapons in the armory, and when they want to use them they have to check them out and return them when they've served whatever purpose they've checked them out for. Even during live deployments, there were arduous regulations surrounding weapon use. As a former member of a light infantry unit, I distinctly remember manning a guard post in the middle east under the following conditions: 1. My rifle had an empty magazine. 2. All the ammunition was kept in a sealed box whose seal was only to be broken if a threat refused to heed verbal warnings. 3. Once I broke the seal on the box and loaded my rifle I had to once again verbally confront the threat to give them another chance to back away. 4. I was finally allowed to fire a warning shot, and I'd better have a good reason for doing so because the platoon leaders were obligated to count all the ammunition in the box after every guard shift to verify that every single bullet was still there, and their chain of command was going to come down on them like a ton of bricks if they couldn't account for any discrepancies. 5. If the threat is still present after all that, then we're finally allowed to fire at will. Was I upset about all that? Not really, because while only a small portion of the people I served with were absolutely nuts, it just takes one guy with an assault rifle to bring hell down on the rest of us. After our deployment was extended for several months due to the escalation of conflicts in the region, I spoke to several soldiers who flat out said that it's a good thing the ammunition was locked up because they would have gone on a murder spree otherwise. When I laughed and said, "Yeah, good one," they replied that they were being absolutely serious. I wish I was lying. People have this impression that training someone in the use of weapons somehow makes them safer weapon users. While the military teaches rudimentary gun safety (about five minutes worth of explanations on how you should double check that your weapon isn't loaded when you're cleaning it, how you should keep the safety on at all times when not firing it, and how you should remove your clip and attempt to fire your weapon into a barrel of sand when coming off the firing range just to be sure the chamber is empty), weapon training does nothing whatsoever to address mental health issues. A crazy dude with training is more dangerous than an untrained crazy dude. It's ironic that these trained soldiers who are perceived to be more qualified to bear arms are subject to far more regulation and restriction regarding weapons use than any civlian would ever be. We need to think about why that is. Also, most of the "homeless veterans" you see on the streets aren't actual veterans. The few who are tend to be the guys with PTSD who shouldn't be anywhere near a school. Either that, or they're physically disabled in a manner that makes them unqualified to serve as guards. Veterans actually get decent benefits upon exiting the service, including tuition assistance and job counseling. Veterans who are sound in mind and body don't wind up homeless. I'm not saying that we shouldn't help them out, but I am saying that assigning them to guard school rooms isn't doing anyone any favors. Finally, while the idea of upping the pay for security guards sounds great, I guarantee there's going to be a huge outcry whenever we try to raise taxes to pay for those wage increases.

What you said at the beginning, that many people would get hurt if someone wanted to take away their guns, is the best example of why they shouldn't have those guns at all.

Here in Australia we have gun control. My kids never had to learn how to avoid getting shot, I never had to worry about my kids getting shot. I have never been afraid of getting shot. And we have mental health issues here. I sometimes leave my backdoor open when it's hot at night. That's freedom.

The idea of giving a vet with PTSD a gun and putting them in a school is baffling.

"We got bears, we got wolves..." In the middle of e.g New York? That's a bollocks excuse and you all know it. Jeffries' "Fuck you I like guns!" comment is 100% accurate.

My favorite part was every time you paused it and made an argument, his next joke absolutely decimated your argument 😂 happened at least three times, gotta love it

If you're living in a country, where schools need armed protection something is very wrong.

Two quick things: -The gun is only helping the one who draws first. And thats in most cases the aggressor. - Violence cant be prescreened. Even more so in a country with no free health- and careinsurence and lot of drug problems.

I’m in Canada we gave gun control and lots if bears including polar bears. Gun control doesn’t mean no guns

He destroyed every one of your arguments 30secs after you made it. 😂

It’s so difficult for you to appreciate life without guns because you live in the US....that’s not your fault, you have been conditioned to view the world around you as a risky/dangerous/untrustworthy place. It never occurs to people in the U.K. to worry about guns....until you have lived in a country that doesn’t idolise guns and gun ownership you will never fully understand.

You don't need an AR-15 to protect yourself against a bear. In Canada we have bears too and rifles but not those "big guns".

Americans defending guns just have no idea how ridiculous that sounds to the rest of the world.

I had to laugh, telling an Aussie about living with dangerous animals! Except in America you are not likely to wake up with a grizzly bear curled up at the end of your bed, like Aussies have done with snakes! Also hunters and farmers have guns and our police are armed, and even recreational shooters can own a gun. A lot of people I've spoken to actually had always thought we had an outright gun ban in Aus, when it's only assault rifles etc. I have a mate who hunts wild boar which are a menace and aggressive as hell, and owns 3 shotguns. There's a gun culture here, it's just a more "pragmatic" culture without the recreational or "general protection", like Americans. Our gun culture is more hunters/cullers, and farmers to keep roo numbers down and use around the property...or most of them anyway. The laws here definitely are very strict but almost nobody feels resentful about it, as most of us agree, just like Americans are so steeped in their gun culture that ripping it from them with a total ban would be literally asking someone to immediately stop overnight something they've always known!

The main argument for owning a gun is, 'other people have guns'. The answer to this is not 'more guns'. The solution is to start reducing the number of guns, until the self-defence argument becomes redundant.

Dude, you're a lovely guy. I have watched a lot of your reaction videos and liked them a lot. And I truly appreciate your willingness to take a lot of the points Jim Jefferies makes. I think you're absolutely 100% wrong on the right to own guns of course.. I mean the whole concept of gun ownership in the States is just totally bonkers. But we are all entitled to own opinions. I've been to America, and loved it. But heck, I thank God I don't live there. With the utmost respect Dude, I wouldn't want to live in a country where people have your opinions on guns.

The deeper issue is Americans are unable to be honest about this issue. It is called cognitive dissonance.

The schools in the US can't even afford books/paper/pencils, how on earth will they afford armed guards.

You can own a gun in Australia but there a LOT of restrictions. Both health checks and Background checks also you need a reason like a farmer or a hunter.

you dont need an AR-15 for a bear though! our farmers in Australia still have access to all the firearms they need to protect their property from feral animals. It's just about COMMON SENSE gun control laws - not "taking away all your guns" :) ps. you said "I think all schools should have security" ... then there is something fundamentally wrong in America, because no other countries need security in schools

Canada has bears too. I have them in my yard regularly. I have zero guns and I'm doing just fine. Fear breeds fear.

Canadian here from small town "bear country". No one has a gun to protect themselves from animals. Insane take.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Jim live twice. He's extremely dark, extremely clever, and extremely funny.

😂😂 I've never seen someone put there foot in their mouth so many times in under 10mins. 🤣 It was nearly every time you paused it. Brilliant 😂😂😂 I must say it takes a real man to make fun of their own faults and I think there is more pride in that. Well done m8 👏👏👏

We Europeans are laughing at you: No drinking beer in public until 21, no boobs on TV, but buying an assault rifle at 18... and a 100 times higher gun death rate...

American: "We got very fucking dangerous animals." ... while watching an australian argue against the need for guns.

Just one question: Have you ever wondered WHY in other countries, like australia, the uk, germany, france, canada, finland, austria, norway, ..., why those countries don't feel the need they need to protect themselves? Maybe the need for a gun for protection directly correlates to the potential amount of weapons around you. People in other countries love their guns, I know people who love their guns, I know people in gun clubs, I know hunters. I have never ever heard of someone getting a gun for protection. But hey that's in germany. One other thing. There are about 58,000 grizzly bears in the us and at least 390,000,000 guns in circulation in the us. I think you got that covered.

I think it's really sad that america didn't do what the rest of the world did and change the laws over time as the country developed. You are talking sense when you say that people should be screened before they can own a gun. In the UK we are allowed guns including an Uzi, but the screening is brutal. they contact your employer, interview your family and your doctor. They interview you in your house and make sure you have a proper gun safe. You have to have a really good reason to want a gun. The average person doesn't even think about being shot over here, so people don't buy guns for protection unless you're a criminal, in which case it won't be a registered firearm anyway. It's horrible that Americans don't feel safe walking down the street or even being in their home. I fear america is too far gone to rescue itself and the problem is getting worse every day. Good luck my friend. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

This dude pausing to make a rebuttal all thr while i know whats to come and Jim is about to address it has just been an absolute delight 😂

A life lived in fear is no life at all.

I like how DudeSaysThings makes a point, literally 2 secs before the video explains why that point doesnt make sense :D

With being Australian Australia's gun control was really the result of 2 things happening, first was the shooting in Dunblane Scotland(where kids were killed) and the second was Port Arthur in Tasmania(where 30 odd people were killed many of them tourists), both happened in a fairly close time frame of each other so the Australian government at the time issued the gun ban and the gun buyback scheme to stop mass shootings from happening, the government worked out the plans and within 12 weeks the voting was approved and implemented.

Mate I just stumbled on your video today after watching Jim Jeffries Gun Control skit years ago and agreeing with it. I am an Australian, my Dad had his rifles taken from him during the buy-back. Yes our Government paid us to hand in our guns and actually paid more than what they were worth! Plot twist: I am a gun owner. In Australia. I have a rifle cabinet full of them, legally. We are still allowed guns but getting a semi auto, a pump action, a pistol and anything auto is extremely difficult. But I could register for and buy another bolt action and pick it up in I think the 3 week wait period. So my opinion is coming from an Aussie who lived through our gun reforms, agrees with them completely, and has a cabinet full of rifles. I think your commentary was perfect. You were understanding, you accepted both sides, you didn’t take it personally and quite frankly your ideas on gun control and Veteran security guards is genius. Well done mate- you are one intelligent guy.

This has to be the most hilarious reactions to this I've seen. Just seeing you bring up a possible solution, unpause, then Jim immediately responding to that, causing you to burst out laughing is the funniest thing ever.

The Port Arthur victim's families gave the Australian authorities and the media the right to publish photos of the massacred bodies to show the horrors!!

I disagree with your stance almost 100%. But I really appreciate that you are tackling this subject honestly and in good faith.

He said "dude, we have grizzly bears, we have BLACKKK...---" Me: 😬😬 "...bears." Me: 😮‍💨😮‍💨

never watched your channel before but its very refreshing to hear someone thats pro gun be at the very least open to dialogue about it. great reaction dude

A PTSD veteran on campus with an automatic weapon. What could possibly go wrong.

So you want schools with little kids in, to have good fencing, metal detectors, secure doors and armed guards! does that remind you in any way of another type of Government building? you just need the search lights and watch towers.

I would never send my child to a school that had security guards. What a horrible environment for kids. What a warped idea. I am an Aussie.

This guy hasn't spent anytime anywhere near the outdoors. Don't worry about bears.

They have bears and wolves in Europe as well. they don't walk around with Armalites.

Mate, you don't seem to understand. Australia (and New Zealand and Britain) didn't ban all guns: just the military style assault rifle types. Yes, hunting rifles are fine. As are shotguns. BUT ya don't need a 50 calibre machine gun to take hunting! Or machine pistols. These are designed and intended for War. eg Military use.

GOOD for you to chat about your horrible incident. I think Australia is a gentler society than the usa. Thank God. But crime still happens. You stay safe cousin

You have Mountain Lions? What do we have in Africa then? 🤣

In what kind of country you want to live? Is it normal that schools need to be protected by armed veterans? Maybe bullet free vests and helmets for the children are the answer? So happy that my children didn't have to endure this craziness in Europe. School was a place to learn and play without fear.

Mental health screening is only effective when you have people who are ALREADY suffering from mental health issues. ANY 'normal' person .. is quite capable of reaching a threshold where they can break. There are MANY situations where people take action on the spur of the moment. If a firearm is handy, the situation can become far more deadly. Sure .. a knife or an axe can kill people ... but how many 'mass' killings have you heard about involving those weapons? An 'assault' weapon is designed to kill many people quickly and efficiently!!

G'day mate, it's so refreshing to hear an American agree with gun control, it's devastating as an Australian to hear about schools being shot up almost weekly over there and from experience of our gun control system how easy it is to fix. And its the common misconception Australia doesn't have guns, we do, we actually have e more guns now then before 1996 massacre. Yes at the start they had the buy back amnesty, bit that was to destroy all guns in Australia to start from scratch with the new system of licences and registration of guns. And yes we still have automatics like AR15s! You have different category licences and the guns fall Into set categories. I myself have a CAT A, B, C and H and I currently own a ruger American .22WMR, CZ 515 tactical .22WMR, Adler 12g shotgun, Warwick 308 Semi Auto (Australian manufacturered rifle) and a glock 9mm. Gun control works! And isn't a bann on guns! It exactly like owning a car, you have to have a license and that car must be registered and insured. (In Australia you must be a gun club member and attended 4 times a year to retain license and that club membership is also your public liability insurence)

Unlike a lot of them out there who are elder to you as well , who dishonestly deny good arguements . .. you are being honest with your responses and agreeing when he made those good points . You got our respect 🙏

If they can screen veterans to make sure they're sane why can't they do it for the average American! The US government won't do it because the NRA lobbies for it not to happen!

As an Australian, I have always seen the difference in our attitudes being related to how our countries were formed. Australia gained independence via political means, and the US fought for it's independence, and unity. Firearms are ingrained more into the culture there. With that said, firearms are not banned here. They are just heavily restricted and licensed. If you are in regional Australia, you can own a shotgun or rifle, as the reality is, you need it for various reasons - hunting, defending your livestock from predators, etc. In the cities though, you can be licensed for a firearm, but can only use it at a range, or if someone's farm etc. (NOTE: could be a bit wrong on this, not fully up to date). The US does need to do something though to curtail the amount of shootings there. It's not a simple solution, but at the end of the day should be that there should only be responsible gun owners, and they should only be used for responsible purposes.

Bro you laugh like Heath Ledgers joker and it’s fkn brilliant 😂😂👌🏼

Yeah, we got bears in Canada….i don’t have a gun and last check we aren’t all dying in the woods.

Hey, man. At least you had a sense of humor about it. I can think of a couple other RU-vidrs who seemed to forget they were watching a comedy show while reacting to this. I'm a gun owner, but I agree with pretty much everything he's saying. Even in my super liberal state there was hardly any screening for me to own one legally. I don't pretend to have the answers, though. Either way, Jim is fkn hilarious.

In Australia we do still have guns. There are gun shops (very few) and gun clubs with shooting ranges (again, very few). What changed in 1996 was heavy restrictions on what guns you can have (no auto or semi auto, no pump action, etc) and heavy regulation on storage, ownership and licensing. People in isolated rural areas and farms often have a bolt action rifle or a single action shotgun, fully licensed and securely stored.

The problem with doing something when 'a kids showing all the signs' is that you'll get an answer like: "We can't do anything if no crime has been committed." Or they put them on meds that make them worse before they get better.

The U.S is the only country I have visited and had a gun pointed at me!

I take your point about protection from dangerous animals, but in reality what percentage of the US population are at risk of coming into contact with a dangerous wild animal?

Your first point of wild animals. I would assume that is where hunting rifles and shotguns come in as more useful, over a pistol or assault weapon. Your second point was if you had a gun you could kill a guy with a knife. Why, because of the ease with which a gun let you kill someone without a gun? What if the guy had a gun? What if he's more skilled with it? Fella with a knife can be a master with a blade but still has to come within arms reach of you, deal with you and then go after someone else. (Same for a guy with a rock or a bat.) Guy with a pistol and no training can empty it into a crowd. Guy with a rifle and no training can set up like the Vegas shooter. It's all about the ease with which they kill multiple people. As for guy with a gun taking out a bad guy with a gun - latest info is that over 20 police men balked at taking on one guy with two assault weapons. It's US law that the Police don't have to put themselves in harms way to protect a citizen if they don't want to. (Be that running into a burning building, jumping into the water after someone or going into a building after an armed suspect with hostages.) Look it up. You can have guns in the UK - we have strict controls - but we don't have mass shootings. We still have nutters with knifes and knife crime - but you don't have the time to kill 19 people with a knife or a rock before people or the police dog pile you. 80% of people in the US agree on tight controls - it's the 20% who don't care about anyone other than themselves or a pay check from the NRA that are stopping you. Which doesn't sound like a democracy to me. Try doing a video on British or European gun laws - No ones stopping you owning a gun if you can show why you need them, or can show you are an enthusiast who can be responsible with them. You also have to show training, usage and track ammo used, pass a medical check and background check and have regular inspections of them to ensure they are properly maintained and secure.

I appreciate you not getting overly offended and laughing at the jokes that are meant to be laughed at. No matter your views I do enjoy seeing the respect both sides of it.

Superb reaction video! Heading off to part2 now :)

This has been one the best reactions from a pro gun person, simply because you were actually able to take his words to heart and understand this was ultimately a comedy routine, with a sprinkle of truth to it, like most comedy is nowadays

Very interesting reaction. However, I dont think vets protecting schools would work as a good advertisement for students to join the armed forces. “Join the army, put your life at risk and come back to no home or support. Don’t worry though, you can get a poorly paid job to monitor a school and possibly get shot at again”. It doesn’t have the same ring as “join the navy, see the world” 😉😂

I'm a supporter of gun control, but not a full out ban. Universal background checks, a nationwide gun registry, training and education, and limited access to assault weapons.

... damn, you are SO important to all of us and we MUST see your reaction to this video... ... thank you so very much...

Jim Jeffries is making great points here. He's making fun of America's obsession with guns knowing they will likely never change. LOL!

The UKs desperate for guns - the Geordies are running amok , the clay pigeons would breed like crazy and the haggis are stripping the Highlands bare And shotgun weddings have always been a northern tradition.

Are there many Grizzile bears in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, DC, Miami,, or LA?

The fact that you have to discuss armed security for your schools is enough said right there

4:10...Fairplay mate but during you life time how many Grizzly Bears have you run into...& of this multitude how many have you discharged a firearm at? While we don't have the bears & the cougars we do have Great White & Greenland sharks swimming off our shores and I can travel fairly easily to places in Europe where there are still wolves & bears roaming around. Now my solution to them isn't to arm myself with a fuck-ton of spearsguns, hunting rifles, pistols & various other methods of dealing death. Instead I just...take care & follow local instructions 🤔

While your argument about dangerous wild animals may have some credit. Many of the wild animals are ambush predators and they are very good at it. They will stalk you very carefully as they get closer and closer before they attack. The animals that you do see are often those you come across by chance which will only attack if they see you as a danger to them or their young. In reality unless you had been around many of these animals on a regular basis your immediate reaction would not be your gun but flight. If by some chance you did get a shot off then you had better kill the beast in one go because as any animal expert will tell you the most dangerous wild animal is a wounded wild animal. Many who do live in these isolated areas actually say you are better of with something like bear spray than a gun and that they only use guns to scare the animals away from their livestock. An interesting fact from the FBI they state that 85% of all the guns in the hands of criminals were obtained by the criminals as a result of them been stolen from citizens who obtained them legally.

There is no easy solution to the gun debate of America. Unfortunately many Americans “need” a gun to defend against, um guns. 🤷‍♂️

I'm in America, these bears and wolves he mentions are very rarely an issue for any of us. Idk why he made it sound like we're just fighting off grizzlies on our way to work

I appreciate your honest reaction, and that you can accept another opinion. Personally think USA is too far gone but better gun control as a start!

i'm a pro-guns person too. i was raised from the age of 5 being told not to point it at to something alive even if you are %100 sure it's unloaded as a joke. infact not to even reach for it if you are not desperate to use (unless you are in a hunt or obviously defense). but jim makes great points. part 2 is great too, waiting for it. cheers.

I like the balance you bring to this video. Thanks for this. I'm Australian but I know that Australian style gun control and reduction would be fiercely resisted in America. Still, fixing gun registration and screening laws should help to reduce some shootings. And YES, every school in America should have security, it has simply come to that point.

This is such a great skit because every US person I see watching it starts out by countering the argument then going "Well wait... No... He's actually got a point... when we think about it..." It's making people change from extremes of black and white.

Seriously dude guns make people need guns it's a self porrpetuating concept

Contrary to popular belief, you can get guns in the UK... in the countryside they are quite common., there is a Gun Shop 10 minutes walk from where I live. What we have is good gun control, and restrictions on types of weapons allowed... it makes a huge difference... part 2 will answer some of the big arguments that people make why it wouldn't work in the US.

respect! you laugh even though you may disagree . thats how we should be

First video of yours I’m watching. Appreciate the open and honest discussion. Tricky subject but one we need to work together to solve. I have a lot to say but can only remember so much so here goes. Homeless vets being paid to secure schools is something I support, personally. I don’t know how many we have compared to how many schools we have, nor do I know how much they’d be paid or what it would take to make it happen. I do know that no one in government is discussing it, so it’s kind of a moot point. No serious person suggests ‘taking your guns’. That is just a hard right talking point. Hillary didn’t want to do it, Obama didn’t want to do it, no one does. Sensible gun control. That’s the thing, sensible. You made a point about someone buying an AK and asked ‘why do you need one?’ and you’re right. However, the second amendment pretty much makes that question irrelevant, along with the Heller decision from SCOTUS. Last thing I wanted to mention. You had some ‘hun experts should get together and figure it out’ I think you said with regard to some policy. Here’s the thing though, the government isn’t allowed to even study guns/mass shootings. I forget the exact language of the thing that prohibits it, but I believe it’s the department of tobacco, alcohol, and firearm that would handle that, but they’re not allowed to. Since they’re not allowed to study it, we can’t have any real reports on them, or how we could solve it. On to part two though!

The majority of veterans on the streets are there BECAUSE they have PTSD or similar. Screening with invalidate most of them. (Another issue that America gets defensive over: health care. No one should be homeless. Those who are homeless due to health conditions shouldn't be. Healthcare should be paid through faxes and homeless people should have access to emergency accommodation and crisis support workers). Ask any gun owner and they will tell you they are a responsible gun owner. It's the wrong question. Ask them if they know an irresponsible gun owner. Every one knows an uncle Bobby who likes to shoot at critters on his back fence or sleeps with a loaded .44 under his pillow. The question is how do we keep uncle Bobby away from guns, especially when his ex wife is posting pics of her new husband and step kids on face book and Bobby is six cans deep on a crate of natty lite.

Every excuses you brought up he debunk it !!😂😂

I love that you're the first 20%. Great reaction. Thank you

Great reaction and comment. I’m glad you recognised he was making very good points. It’s not about banning guns it’s about gun control.

Dude you're getting a tough time in these comments and it's really not your fault, you're a product of your environment and circumstances. You only know what you know and what you've seen so it's not surprising that you think the way you do. On the flip side I'm 46, I'm from the UK. I (sort of) remember when the Dunblane massacre happened here and the aftermath and it was awful. I've never owned, fired or even held a gun in my life. I've never felt the need. I know people who have but it's not for me. I've also never been robbed or mugged or any of my family been the victim of a serious crime but in no way would I ever want a gun in or near my house. The idea that you at 19 feels like they want to own guns, learn martial arts, own big scary dogs so you feel safer is tragic. I feel so bad for you. But it's not just you, your whole nation (more or less) feels the same. I don't have any answers but at some point you have to look at other countries and wonder why are they like that and we're like this? It's far more complex than a RU-vid comment can explain. Stay safe boss

First time watching a video from this channel. Greetings from Germany! It's terrifying to imagine encountering an aggressive stranger with a machete on the street as a kid on the walk with your dog... Not only you got hurt, but your animal buddy too. So sorry to hear that and happy that none of you both lost your lifes. I can fully understand why you feel the need to protect yourself in such cases. In Germany we don't only have strikt gun rules, but also laws for EVERY kind of weapon. Nobody here whould ever think of walking into someone with such a big knife or other weapon. It's not normal to encounter any such danger here. To even consider choosing your companion because you feel the need that the dogs should be some kind of intimidating... That sounds as so much pent up stress and fear. Big hug!

4:15: Australia has spiders almost the size of grizzly bears… so… 😂🤣😂

has literally any country banned guns? Like in Australia, the UK etc sure some types of guns might be banned, but you can still buy guns. Like I have been to rifle clubs as a teen and adult. I know people who do the clay pigeon stuff, and target shooting for competitions. It is always gun control as far as I am aware, it is never an outright ban of guns.

As a gun owning Irishman it's very clear that something needs to change in the US.

yo I agree with everything Jim says (i agree with you in that, a gun in a safe is situational. it could absolutely save a life while still being secure in a safe.) and I absolutely love this reaction, this is the attitude we should have when it comes to disagreeing with someone. there was nothing but respect throughout this whole video. even pinning comments that disagree with you, it's great. definitely subbing

You got a good heart bro . Love from Australia.

My opinion on gun ownership/control/safety, is relatively simple. For the arguement of home defence, you don't need anything that fires more them once (so you don't need semi/full auto rifles) bolt/pump action rifles and shotguns are more then enough for animals and burglars, if you can't hit your target with one bullet, don't shoot, simple. I come from a family who are hunters and woodsman and have been so for generations leading all the way back to our European ancestors AND our Native American ancestors. If the sale along distribution of semi/full auto guns was outlawed, I don't think anybody would lose anything in terms of gun rights, at the very least, it'd make sure that the casualties FROM shootings would be drastically less.

Here is a really strange thing. In Australia, my local high school has a police officer permanently based. Crime and violence in Brisbane Australia are pretty low and guns are not a problem and yet we can have a police officer on duty. There are more firearms in Australia today than existed in 1998. It is the type of firearm that has changed. A farmer or hunter can easily get the job done with a rimfire bolt action rifle or shotgun limited to holding five shells, they do not need some crappy worn-out milserp that can throw a round 3000 metres.

Respect for the rational take on gun "control" vs "ban". I direct you to my comment that *NO* country "bans" guns. It just never happens. What happens is "control".

Bro Jim makes me laugh alone but your reaction laughter is contagious af. Thanks for that brother. Keep up the awesome content
