@Random Brandon do you own a gun ? Have you ever been through the process of buying a gun ? I doubt it or you would never make a statement such as this . I went through a long process to own a hand gun to protect myself and before I could take the gun home, they gave me several places to go for practice for free or a very small charge so that I would be safe . Once our guns are taken away ,not only we become targets for criminals who CAN get a firearm without having to be registered but we can slowly become a dictatorship. Rather than taking our guns , much more control needs to be put in place for the SELLERS and the buyers .
@Random Brandon australia didn’t have too many shootings before they were all confiscated. It was just the one mass shooting that banned them. Our cultures different than America.
@Random Brandon banning guns will screw you over in the long run .....are you that dumb that you want the government to take your god given right to defend yourself and your family ...if someone breaks into your house to rape your daughter what you gonna do m8?? With no gun he will rape you too .....i think you're still too young to understand that life isnt always safe and honestly i feel safer in America than Australia our crime rate is lower per capita most of the worst crimes are committed in Australia ....remember the Australian guy who killed 50 innocent muslims in their mosque using his guns that he obtained illegally and i can mention many other stories of the same Caliber .....when you ban guns you only ban good people from getting them because criminals will get them anyways illegally
@@segazora it seems reasonable but its not, because they make you jump through so many hoops to get one and can refuse based on their opinion on if they think you should own a gun or not as if its up to them if you’re allowed to protect yourself. not to mention the main reason you’re suppose to own a gun so the government doesn’t dominate the people & the reason we dont own guns here in Australia is because the government dominates the people.
Basically, in Australia you need to hold a licence and have a genuine reason to own any kind of gun. Self defense is not a genuine reason. You can have a rim fire and centre fire, bolt and lever action rifle or shotgun (except pump action) for hunting and target shooting. Semi-automatic rifles only if you're a farmer or pest controller. Hand guns only if you work in security or or target shooting (you're only allowed to use it at range).
so if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, then you cant legally shoot them with your gun? like damn they really are stupid, guess i would be a murderer in their eyes then,
@@jacksonblanks8038 - I’m Australian. Illegal guns on the black market are not as plentiful as in America so they are expensive too. This also contributes to the difficulty criminals have of obtaining a gun. Most shooting I personally know of in Australia are from single shot rifles. That has to be a major factor as to why there hasn’t been a single massacre since the heavy gun restrictions were introduced in 1996. New Zealand has followed Australia now in implementing these restrictions after an Australian psycho went over a shot up that Mosque. Guns aren’t used for protection in Australia because most criminals don’t have a gun. I can’t see the United States changes their second amendment etc. I think they should but there is just way too much resistance as it is imbedded in the culture there. When militia fought of British rule that validated citizens having guns, there are dangerous animals like bears and Australia being an island isn’t subject to as much smuggling of weapons as we can more easily control our borders and no one hear feels like they need a gun for protection because hardly anyone is ever attacked by some with a gun. The threat just really isn’t there and that’s good. If someone wields a knife then most of have a more sporting chance to run. But I totally get way Americans resist giving away guns. It just spins me out when Americans pretend that the high level of murders per capita in comparison to the UK and Australia isn’t due to gun laws. The change to gun laws in Australia had an immediate effect. It would probably take a generation or two to change the prevalence of guns in an American society if it can even be done at all.
@@GBergroth your right about australia but here with the lefts resistance to crack down on border security alot of guns are trafficked in and at a pretty low cost. And someone using a gun here to rob someone is not all too often either but I would def like the advantage of having one when they don't. There is the main premise of why we have them that is to secure our freedom from any force both foreign or domestic such as a tyrannical government.and from what I have seen crime jumped in australia after and I have seen a good bit of evidence that guns are still smuggled into australia. Even australia's bureau of crime statistics and research said the ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun homicides. But if you look here in the u.s. and take away suicides with a gun then you only have 15k deaths per year and out of those only 8k are homicides and again 7k of those are gang related violence. The rest are self defense shootings and accidental shootings. I would bet that australia counts suicides with a gun along with gun deaths and that is the number that said went down after the ban even though the number of murders with a gun did not change. I may be just rambling but I know of I did not own and carry my pistol then I would be dead.
@@jacksonblanks8038 - I’d be dead if I did have a pistol. I have had some super depressed moments and can be impulsive. It’d be the easiest way to go surely. Anyway, the main stat that justifies Australian gun restrictions is the eradicating of massacres. So, large numbers of innocent people aren’t getting shot up. That is certainly something to consider. So, just looking at that one specific issue it makes a lot of sense.
@@GBergroth or look more into mental heath and intelligence networks to see what people are planning. also how did he acquire the gun. most mass shootings here are done by mentally deranged people who are already not allowed to own a firearm atleast here in the us. but also cant deny it takes someone with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. it has hapened a few times here in the us they just dont get media coverage. and sorry to hear about that, hopefully you got the help you needed. but also whats the difference between using pills, a knife, jumping off a tall building, or crashing your car. but also i would love to see how many people are injured or killed that would still be alive if they have had a gun. i have personally had 4 times in my life where people had ill intentions with me then stopped once i drew or brandished my firearm.
Funny, most kids in US school don't have to worry about that either, unless of course the propaganda media tells them to be scared. Just because you weren't scared of being shot doesn't mean there wasn't a chance you could have been, that isn't how that works. Brendan you sound like a paranoid delusional and should learn the difference between a loud noise and a gunshot, there is a vast chasm between the two filled to the brim with noises that are loud but nowhere near a gunshot. You need to lay off the TV, you are being scared for no reason.
Im a proud american & i DONT own a gun (but i believe in rights so each to their own) i also went through my entire school career without fear of being shot, what's your point?
@@ebendewd3433 you may not have but fellow school kids in America did and died....can't say the same in Australia...no stupid gun evacuation drills, no fucking metal detectors, and certainly no talks of arming teachers or setting up a 'prison-like' security system for kids just trying to go to school. The most scary event that happened to me in primary school was an ADHD kid getting his hands on a...wait for it....stick....yep, there was what you'd call 'pandemonium' where we were told to stay in class rooms whilst a teacher dealt with it
blah mcbloh I know how to use it and I’d already be dead if someone else has my knife. And how would you know my energy. I pray everyday I won’t need to take a life because I refuse to let someone take mine. I know from experience how to deal with knife. More from them being pulled on my then me even needing to touch mine. And so you know this my girls RU-vid I’d agree with you if she was carrying a knife she would be putting herself in more danger because a man could take it more easy then from me
Louis Varney well uh chief knives are tools. I carry a knife to dig nails out of my shoe if I step on one, cut something if my foot gets stuck, screw things in, some light hammering, self defense as a back up, and to cut packages open. Knives have so many purposes and assuming having a knife means you want to stab someone is absurd. A knife is a tool for utility that can also be used to hurt someone the only difference being you can use it for more things than say a hammer or screwdriver which can do just as much if not more damage than a knife to a person.
More people ar punched and kicked to death in America than killed by rifles so also more people are stabbed and more people are bludgeoned to death than killed by rifle FBI homies statistics for 2018
@@Christ_is_Lord7 I tried to find this and found data from 2011-2018 and it wasn't even close.

@dfss csss lmao no you can't unless you find a dealer that's above mid level and even then he won't have one himself unless he deals with coke or ice or if you have close ties to bikies
@Kula Cnt Try growing up in South Central Los Angeles. With $250 and a friend you can get a pistol with the numbers scratched out. I'm surprised there aren't many mass shootings. Mostly just group fights where the police show up to break it up.
@dfss csss Ok lets get this straight i live in greenacre. gun central. no 14 year olds can afford a fucking gun to begin with. and no dealer or any1 selling guns would even think to sell one to a fucking 14 year old child. wake up to yourself it isnt easy to get its not simple and if you want a gun you wont find a damn thing below 1k and thats for dirty shit. a glock would go for fucking 3 - 4k dirty and upwards of 7k for a clean one. stop talking out of your ass.

@Henry F Wagons Pretty sure the machine gun needs firing pin removed even if that were the case, although I haven't heard of historic weapons collectors outside of museums or similar institutions (which have tight security controls on their guns too, ie plexiglass and alarms etc) Pretty sure you could get guns off silkroad when it was still around, and there are other darkweb places still even in AU where you can find all the illegal stuff. From what a previous cop friend told me once, there were a lot of guns 'warehoused' when the AU buyback happened, not even the hardcore criminals but a lot of rural/country town folks as well. Also apparently a lot of them come in from NZ Fiji and other places in Asia where its very easy to buy them, hence why a lot of the larger interceptions of hundreds of KG of drugs also include a lot of guns
Shootings are so rare here but he makes a good point “if everyone has a gun, I want a gun too” but in Aus guns are pretty rare so that’s not really an issue, it’s pee in the pool in America but in Aus a guy with a gun is like watching someone walk up to the pool and piss in it
@@yeahnahman4217 "but in Aus a guy with a gun is like watching someone walk up to the pool and piss in it" with a bent cock. when I got into guns I was so disappointed that the only shotgun i could get was a straight-pull or lever action, like how is pulling a lever more deadly than pump action? oh well not a huge deal i still like my boomstick but that rule in particular i found silly
As a Brazilian, in my country gun ownership laws are far tighter than in Australia. We border Colombia, Bolivia and Peru and the common citizen is ABSOLUTELY defenseless.
In Australia, in the 15 years leading up to Port Arthur Massacre, and the subsequent tightening of gun control laws, there were 13 mass shootings. In the 22 years since there have been 0. Over the same 22 year period the annual rate of gun deaths fell from 2.9 per 100,000 to 0.9 per 100,000. I'm happy they tightened the laws here. That said, ours is a different history and culture to the US. We didn't fight a war of independence with armed citizens forming militias. We don't have a constitutional right to own firearms, and the volume of gun ownership that goes with that. To try and compare the two is a waste of time.
Please google how many mass shooting there were in Croatia since the FUCKING WAR WE HAD! You don't have to cause I'm pretty sure it's none and we have a pretty strict gun control
@@jeffreyjohnston2445 The Strathfield massacre in 1991. A bloke shot 8 dead and wounded another 6. As to your question about Martin Bryant, I looked it up and he plead guilty, thus avoiding the need for a trial. He was formally convicted and sentenced. It's a matter of public record.
As an Australian who has a good knowledge of our gun laws, they vary slightly from state to state, I’d say Adam either doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or he’s intentionally misleading Joe, you do not have to give a reason for owning firearms, or own a property or be a member of a gun club unless you wish to buy a pistol, then you must be a club member, there’s no full or semi automatics allowed, bolt, lever and pump actions are permitted and the full range of calibers are available, Everyone is required to do a firearm safety course, criminal background checks are done, restrictions apply to those with records for violent behaviour, once the course is completed you receive your license. When you purchase a firearm the seller must complete paperwork to be submitted to the police about the new owner and when the seller receives a right to dispose from the police the weapon can then change hands. All weapons must be stored in a gun safe of given minimum specifications and the ammunition must be locked and stored separately, the police can turn up at any time and demand to see the safe and weapons, you don’t have right of refusal. As to his comments about knives and baseball bats, it’s an idiotic thing to say, try killing someone with either from a hundred yards. As an Australian and one of his countrymen I’d say he’s a bloody drongo and it seem he is being deceptive, I’ve only seen this part of the interview and I’m not interested in hearing anything more from Adam as I don’t find his comments to be truthful.
@@3plecrown then why is he being interviewed on the topic. Who is this dope? Surely Rogan could have rounded up a propper Aussie. From Australia in case your wondering.
Also I hear you can't have tools near the safe of which your guns and ammunition are kept. Tools must be stored away from and in a different room to your safe. Hammers, chainsaw, anything that can be used to crack open a safe basically. This is hearsay to me though, I've only been told by a friend who owns guns.
Most mass shootings also do not involve people being killed from hundreds of yards away. Not really relevant. The point he was making is why don't we ban other objects that are statistically the more common murder weapon. Not saying we should.
I think in Australia we think of firearms as tools that farmers or hunters use instead of for self defense. Therefore its mainly those people or the enthusiasts that like competition shooting in clubs ect for sport. The general public has little to do with them in everyday life. I like it this way as it doesn't eliminate them getting into the wrong hands but does cut the numbers for those who are irresponsible with them.
I agree with you. I’m from the UK and low calibre rifles are allowed for the similar reasons. What I do believe in is armed police in my country. They are trained like soldiers in major cities if there is a terrorist attack or a situation that needs it. But I don’t trust every Jack and Sally on my street with a semi-automatic handgun.
Someone watches Pierce Morgan... Idk why people even compare the two. The reason kinder eggs are banned is because they don’t abide by the regulation stating that food isn’t allowed to contain any non-edible objects inside and sold to the public. 5000 people choke to death in the states every year that’s why it’s banned. And yeah more people are killed by guns in the states per year but the right to own a gun is protected by the constitution and often times can mean the difference between life or death or can mean not getting invaded by a tyrannical nation. Idk remember ww2? So when you take people’s guns away you remove any upper hand they may have against an attacker or nation who I can guarantee you won’t fist fight you “to make it fair”. You’re basically reducing people’s likelihood of survival to just pure luck, or guaranteed rape or murder (most of the time if the victim is a woman). In the UK crime is climbing and it’s already bad, except for Northern Ireland where surprisingly crime is actually decreasing. Surprise surprise, the only part of the UK where you can own a gun for the purpose of self defense. Also Switzerland recently legalized conceal carry, wouldn’t surprise me if crime started dropping there too. And I don’t even live in the US and here I am defending a right that I don’t even have because I’m sick of people always bashing the US cause they have nothing better going on in they’re home country. Give them a break and move on with your kinder egg life
This is a guy who never had to worry about being shot, EVER, in the country he grew up in. Growing up in a society never owning a gun isn’t an obscenity, “you don’t miss what you never had”
@@leemccurtayne9489 There are still guns here so there is not really an absence of the threat of being shot and there have been mass shootings since Port Arthur just none as severe. I've grown up in Australia and I love guns but unless I travel to the US or the Czech Republic I'll never get to shoot the guns I actually want to (bolt action rifles and pistols are fun but I just wanna go plinking with a semi auto rifle sometimes). So yeah you can miss what you've never had. So you're wrong on all counts there mate.
As an Australian that wants to own a gun, I have joined the clubs and got my safety training to use one. I’ve been checked to be mentally stable and have no crimes against my name. And now I own a gun. It’s not that hard.

The 18 yro, who's old enough to buy thier home, and no longer is obligated to be taken care of by thier parents or government, should be allowed to buy the gun for thier own protection, or any ogher reason, if they're old enough to die at war for the country.

Most of Australia's laws are based on Hollywood the fuckwit that wrote them had no fucking idea about the functionality of any firearm. How the fuck am I any more dangerous with a pump action shotgun then I am with the fucking lever action or a straight pull shotgun. Matter of fact why am I any more dangerous with a semi automatic rifle then I am with a bolt action rifle. My bolt action is more accurate and give me more range doesn't that technically make me more lethal. I've got a semi automatic pistol what's the big fucking deal why can't I have a semi-automatic centerfire rifle.

@@jacksonblanks8038 "just glad you realize criminals will get their hands on guns anyways." Not really. I used to work at a camp ('base' in American terminology) where Royal Engineers disposed of illegal guns found on the streets of Britain.

Both the quantity and the quality of firearms available to criminals is abysmal in Britain. The same simply isn't true in America.

Youre right it is a really broad statement but i think for the purpose of discussion he is just saying mental illness. I doubt that he means that every person who has been treated for depression or has shown symptoms of depression should be stripped of their rights. Adam seems like a pretty level headed guy. It is interesting though that when you get into the logistics of who should and shouldn’t have the right to bear arms there are so many gray areas. No lawmaker is going to be able to get it right. This is an issue that i am completely conservative on. You can’t expect the government to dictate this situation. I hope most people have enough friends or family members that are in the position to step in and say hey maybe you should leave your guns in my safe for awhile until you get through whatever youre going through. I think when you have a situation where someone uses a gun to hurt themselves or someone else a lot of people close to them have turned a blind eye to what is going on.

We have had long guns in the hands of the population since the 1800’s…with virtually no school mass shootings until the 1980’s. Perhaps it’s something else that has crept into our culture since that time, that has made some of the young men in this country into disenfranchised frenzied killers. And as long as we refuse to try to understand this change and just keep blaming guns… we will continue to see these heartbreaking situations.
yobench …I think you have a strong point there! Kids in basements..drinking Mountain Dew and mowing down realistic images of people must do something to your mind after a while…
Aeryn …first of all.. as you check my spelling…you may also review some basic facts. There was an assault style gun ban in the US from 1994 to 2004…. And 4 independent studies found no difference in statistical evidence of any decrease in mass shootings.. or actually any type of shootings during this time. Why? Because those who wanted them got them anyway!! Further, you state: (easy only in America)… well then you may want to consider the school mass shooting in Scotland with 17 dead in 1996… or the school mass shootings in Germany with 17 dead in 2002…and 16 dead in1996. Or perhaps the 14 dead in a school shooting in Switzerland in 2002. Or perhaps the 15 dead in the school in France in 1995…and the 14 dead also in France in 1989. Or possibly the 14 dead in a school shooting in Canada in 1989 or the 13 students killed in New Zealand..in 1990. And by the way two of those countries are both one quarter of the size of the US and the rest are one tenth the size of the US or even smaller…so from a per capita perspective, their numbers are actually quite significant. As to your other point… The first semi- automatic gun was invented in 1885 by Manlicher in Germany… and USA developed their first semi-automatic gun in 1902..put on the market at that time by Browning. Not to be out-done, Winchester put their semi-automatic in 1903… and Remington put one out in 1906. That is over 120 years ago. I realize this appears to be an emotional issue for you…but when you find yourself in this state..you should calm down..and then look up some facts that actually firmly support your views….before you start posting. This is likely to save some time for us.
As an australian, this guy is way off the mark.. Criminals in australia absolutely do not have the ability to just go and get a gun if they want one. About a month ago there was a terrorist attack in melbourne, where a guy went on a rampage with a knife. He killed 1 old man. You probably didn't hear about it because he couldnt get a gun.
Not true mate, can get guns illegally in Australia very very easily. You’ve obviously never tried that’s why you don’t know. Have a look at AFP statements. There’s a boat load of unregistered firearms in Australia
I'm Australian and my sister used to be a member of a target shooting gun club + normally left the gun under lock + key at the range.

I was born and raised in Tasmania - I also remember the Port Arthur Massacre, which I have studied a lot on and off over the years. Martin Bryant committed his crimes with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and he apparently had a semi-automatic Belgium-style L1A1 SLR rifle which he might have used as well. There were also reports that Bryant was carrying a semi-automatic, gas-operated-reloading 12-guage shotgun in the boot of his Volvo 224, but apparently he did not use it as he did not like the kickback. Other reports also stated that when Bryant ran out of the burning Seascape Cottage - burning himself - that he may have been carrying a revolver or some other handgun, but I doubt this as I am sure that Tasmania Police would have ordered a shoot-to-kill command. All of the above firearms nowadays, and similar variants (with the exception of handguns which fall under Category H), would only be available to a person with the correct "genuine reason to posses or use a firearm" who also owns a Category D firearms licence which, "is only available to a professional shooter who can prove their principal occupation is the controlling of vertebrate pest animals, or a bona fide firearms collector subject to certain conditions." If you would like to learn more about Tasmania's firearms laws and regulations - including "genuine reasons" and "categories" - please view the following: 1.) Firearms Act 1996 (swiftly created by then leader of the Liberal Party of Australia, Prime Minister John Howard): www.legislation.tas.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1996-023 2.) Tasmania Police website: fas.police.tas.gov.au/obtaining-a-licence/ I hope the above helps!
You do know the gun that Bryant allegedly used was a Victorian Police rifle. FACT No way did a moron with a IQ of 67 become the greatest marksman our country has seen. As was Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy so was Bryant.
Yeah, these 4chan/8chan conspiracy theories about Bryant not being able to commit the massacre are **complete** bullshit. But hey, conspiritards will believe what they want to believe, you know, they way toddlers with aspergers do...
No some are fucking batshit. Like defensive laws, as well as lever action being legal when in the right hands it can be shot faster than semi automatics
I'm Aussie. I have literally never seen a gun in my life. We don't like guns here, it's that simple. When I worked in the USA they thought I was mad because I've never seen one. But at the end of the day, I have never ever in my life been put in a situation in Australia where I needed a gun.

Adam Greentree is the worst person to speak on Australian gun laws. He is a bow hunter that never owned a gun in Australia. Basically everything he said is false. I am a licensed Australian gun owner, please let me give actual facts. Australian population in 2018 is only 24 Million. Gun ownership numbers are very hard to determine, and the government and media lie about it and talk it down. But a number that keeps being bandied about is abit over 1 million licences gun owners. Most gun owners own a minimum of 2 guns. There are private gun owners that have upto 300 privately owned firearms and the media get hold of this and blow it up for public disapproval. Despite that collector never having committed a crime. Guns are Not banned. Hand guns are Not banned. Pump actions are Not banned. Semi automatics including AR15s are Not banned. To gain a basic firearm license you complete a 1hr safety training and multiple choice questionnaire. Then send your license application away. When you get that approved you goto the RMS like U.S DMV and get a photo gun license I.D. Then apply for a firearm Permit to Aquire which is a police background check.. It costs $30 and first application takes 6 weeks to get back. Its considered a cooling off period. Every application after that only takes 1-2weeks. No different to the checks U.S does but they knock it over in an hour or so. Farm owners can purchase hand guns, semi automatic shotguns, pump action shot guns. Professional shooters can buy semiautomatic rifles. Every gun owner can buy a bolt action rifle, Can buy a pump action rifle, but not a pump action shot gun. Cannot buy semi automatic rifle. Apply for and join a handgun club, and you can get a handgun. But no state allows for carry permits. Can only take to a club to shoot. Unlike U.S, can not transfer or sell firearms privately. Must use the police system and pay transfer fees to swap it through a licensed gun shop
Thank God you wrote this, this was so hard to listen too. Only other thing i would add is the laws behind storage and transportation of weapons is strict. Needs to be locked away with Only the gun owner knowing how to access it.
All true, and the issue isn’t the laws themselves, but other laws that determine fit and proper persons. I.e, an overweight desk jockey making the decision behind closed doors with no right to access the information they base it off and no right of appeal. Unfortunately this is a very common exercised right of the licensing police. Another thing that has cropped up in recent years is the massive over issuing of domestic violence orders. Any kind of disagreement with a family member that is witnessed by a copper, particularly female cops, then they drag your arse to court for a DV. In qld, you cannot appeal nor can a judge dismiss a DV brought before a court by a police officer, it’s simply not within the legislature, a judge can and often do reject the conditions put forward by police however the DV in itself must stand. Very very poor predicament for anyone needing fit and proper person status, particularly when it’s found in court to be unjustified.
@@rankoss3437 Not an aussie, but my understanding is that aussies only allow CAT-D's for people who's job it is to shoot varmants? Makes sense since i can imagine shooting certain wild pest a 30 round magazine would do the trick. I wish Canada had gun laws that were as transparent and reasonable as Australia's.
@tjungblast 00 this is.wrong there were several large mass shootings in the 5 years before port Arthur, the reason port Arthur is brought up is that it was the event that the Howard government reacted to when they made the legislature.
No different than the US. The vast majority of gun violence in the US is gang members shooting other gang members. Of course those murders do not make headlines but they are responsible for the poor statistics.
ChicagoTRS In Phoenix, we get a lot of heat-of-the-moment road rage shootings, committed by people with no business near a weapon. I’m all for banning ccw, mandatory mental health screenings and interviewing neighbors/colleagues as conditions to purchase.
Foreigners don't acknowledge that 2/3rds of gun deaths in America are suicides or that upwards of 2.5 million crimes a year are prevented by a citizen carrying a gun legally. On top of which a large portion of gun deaths that aren't suicide are perpetrated by criminals.
@@MrDeano-eu9rg The point is that guns are tools, for good and bad. Legislation won’t rid America of evil. What should be done is improving early detection of mental illness and ways of helping those people, not taking away the most important right of American citizens. I’m not equating a misspelled word to death by gunshot, rather illustrating a major flaw in the anti-gun rhetoric which is blaming fire arms for violence instead of humans.
Anyone who trust these bureaucrats/government is a fool, they have always lied to us and always protect the institutions!!! We have to take back OUR Government and all of it's Institutions!!!!! NOW!!!!
@Yuri Soyboyka Absolutely, I'm going through the system now and was just pissed at how overly beurocratic it is vs the USA. Guess I let those emotions effect me to much lol. Good luck.
@Yuri Soyboyka Bolty boi for sure, If I'm getting a gun it's gonna be a big boi, something over .270cal. Plus it'll be more fun to shoot at something that's further than 30 metres.
Just check your clothes before you put them on. Shake your boots too. And most importantly, check your sheets before you got to bed! No worries mate...

@Andrew Salter Thats only really known by Australians but It's glad to hear from a local, or former local. International recognition for Tasmania when.
@Andrew Salter Yeah I'm more a fan of incest jokes anyway as there is more you can do with them, then 2 heads. I live in Tassie atm, and have only gone on holiday to the mainland a dozen times because some stupid volcano didn't make the former land bridge to the mainland tall enough, maybe the Aborigines could of spent their 75,000 years in Australia making a bridge themselves, I love Tasmania but it feels like the state is in decline because of the isolation and general federal disinterested in Tasmania, I hate to be a Doomer but then again the Government doesn't care about the NBN so maybe they are cucking the other States as well that I'm not aware of. Which State do you live in?
It's funny though because living in Australia I've never felt like I needed a gun. Living in Australia is a different environment, even just walking down the street you feel much safer whereas in America I felt like I was always on guard. Personally I like not having guns. Makes it a lot harder for criminals to get them easily and even then, we've had no mass shooting. I feel like the average person is a lot safer, as most gun deaths in Australia has been someone shooting: another criminal, a rapist or a murderer, we rarely hear of gun deaths yet alone a shooting of an innocent person.
@ninjast4r I'll just drop these 2 facts right here: 2/3rds of gun deaths in America are suicides and upwards of 2.5 million crimes are prevented a year by citizens that legally carry firearms.
Yeah this guys kinda right, but they're usually broken down into categories depending on the firearm type, and you're licensed to that category by providing documented reason to have that specific type of firearm. Eg. Category A = rimfire and shotguns, Cat B = Centrefire, Cat C = Semi rimfire and Semi shotgun, Cat D = Semi centrefire, Cat E = Fully-auto machine guns, mortas, bazookas, etc.. Cat H = semi-handguns. You can have semi-automatics and silencers (Cat D), they're just restricted to certain fields: *** Primary Industry (You run/manage a LARGE farm) *** Professional Hunter (You contract out to control various varmit, and can prove that's your primary income) Otherwise, just about all other non-semi/non-auto firearms are pretty much allowed (rimfire/centrefire/shotguns), valid reasons are: *** Corporate (ie. security guard, gunsmith, antiques dealer) *** Primary Industry (You run/manage a farm with animals) *** Hunting (Either pay the state to certify you to hunt on crown land, or you can have written permission from someone who has private land) *** Sports (Target/clay shooting - But you must have an active club membership)
Only pump action shotguns. But hey, if I want a pump .223 or .308 with a box magazine up to a 10 rounds in Australia that's fine... But if I want a lever action, 5 round mag max... But this all could change overnight depending on what scary gun report the media puts up next.
Each state is different. I am an aussie and have a pump action shotgun. Half ot what was said in this clip is either grossly inaccurate, or applies only in places like Melbourne
@@walkernicholasbarr8703 best of luck to them convincing the boys and girls in Far North QLD and the Territory. Our North is like the US' south. You can come for our guns, but you best come ready. To quote a fantastic movie: everybody and their mum is packing round here! Oh yeah? Like who? Farmers Who else? Farmers mums
Average Auzzie is more likely to pick up a lump of 4x2 for defence than a forearm. There just isnt that wild west history around firearms here. They are tools of trade and sporting equipment. Cricket bats are more often used as a weapon here.
the fact that Joe starts the clip with Australia has weird gun laws because they took steps to tighten gun availability is weird to me n explains why the rest of the world looks at us goofy
they are weird laws because the crime they were trying to target has actually increased since 2001. So what do they even have the laws for? It is same here in the UK. Yea there are no guns but people just get stabbed lol. The root of the issue remains unadressed. All the murders in Chicago are with illegal guns; banning guns won't change that ...
I agree that it makes sense to be on a level playing field where if guns are everywhere it makes sense to consider owning one yourself, but I live in England where guns are effectively a non-issue as a threat, so I feel much safer for myself and family that it's much harder to get a weapon that can kill so easily.
If you have a legitimate reason for a weapon, handle it safely and keep it secure then it is ok in Australia. There are still heaps of guns but they are not in the streets, in the hands of hot heads wanting to act tough. Guns are harder to get illegally because of this so only some criminals have illegal guns because of their traceability unlike the dubious claim made by the guest.
"If you have a legitimate reason..." according to some corrupt bureaucrat who has no clue about your life. Same as Mexico in that respect, which is why murder like never happens in Mexico right?
@@gorkyd7912 Yeah and we all know how well the laws are followed in Mexico. If that’s the best example of gun regulations not working then you have a very weak argument.
@@lazyfrogonalog Oh yeah, we all know. It's illegal to shoot people in the US too and we all know how well those laws are followed. You think the US is more like Australia thousands of miles in the middle of the ocean? Or Mexico, just south of here? I don't have a lot of patience for these braindead liberal fantasies any more, your ideas are shit and you need to just get lost and enjoy the last remaining sunset of comfortable ignorance that the US' century of global dominance has given you. Australia doesn't need guns, good for them. The US is not Australia, the US is the largest super power on earth with the most advanced military that has broken every single international law in the last 5 years. If you're happy being completely defenseless over in Australia I'm genuinely envious but to suggest that would work here is so disconnected from reality it's still hard for me to picture actual adults holding this view.
There is more guns in Australia then before the buy back scheme, it's just heavily licenced and regulated for why you can have a gun and what gun you can have. Also if you own licenced firearms, expect a visit from the police from time to time who check what you have and how you store it
In America we tell them to get the fuck off our property and dont come back without a warrant. If this is the way in Australia then make no mistake they will be coming for your private property next. You will own nothing.
@@chickenpuncher1674 no they cant. Automatic weapons are illegal in America but you can own one with a permit. They cant check up on you. We dont allow our government to check up on us. We are the ones who check up on them or at least we are supposed to but that concept is rapidly going out the window. Our Bill of Rights was meant to keep the government in check...not the other way around.
That did NOT describe our gun laws at all, that was completely inaccurate information. How does an Aussie who has guns be so misinformed about the law?
In Australia semi-auto and automatic guns are very tightly restricted to a limited amount of people with very specific reasons - pro hunters etc. To own and license a gun you must have a justifiable reason and intending to use it for self defence is definitely not a valid reason. Pistols can be owned and licensed by club members and only used at a registered club. These gun laws are supported by the overwhelming majority (over 90%) of Australians and there has not been a mass community shooting in Australia since the mid 1990's (when the universal strict laws were enacted). Most mass community shootings around the world are committed by people who were not previously criminals - many perps had no previous criminal history before the actual shooting event. So, the Australian laws are not really aimed at the existing serious criminal element as criminals intending to illegally obtain and use guns may be able to get the guns from the criminal system. Australians would rather these gun laws than have worry about heavy security and armed guards at schools, shopping malls and libraries etc.. A proposal like that would be enough to bring a government down. The UK enacted similar gun laws after the 1990's Dunblain school massacre and they have not had such a massacre since. Much too late for America I am sad to say.
@@michaelscanlon6279 your country is also not your country anymore, it doesn’t value you, it’s a slowly emerging proxy nation for asiatic and arabic nations. Your people are slowly being replaced and forgotten, because you all will not be honest about the reality of this being a sacrificial warrior species. So you and the like get a slow malicious death. It’s sad, but it is what it is.
If you want to look at differences and compare, let's look at identifying mental illnesses and getting treatment for them, let's look at the differences in health care, social security and welfare. The absolute last argument anyone could make is the difference in access to firearms, over 1 million firearms spread among 8 million nsw residents, if there were people in Australia crazy enough to shoot up a school, guess what, there is nothing stopping them, security at our schools is a joke!
My governor spent 50 million making schools more secure and adding more police. No school schoolings in my state that has half the population of half your country. NYC has half your population and had 200 murders in 2019. 10000 people in the US were killed by drunk drivers last year. Should we ban alcohol? All my friends conceal carry pistols in public.
Joe it would be good for you to speak to someone that’s a little more up to date with the Australian gun laws Hand guns can only be use but licensed owner and only at a shooting range Bolt action, pump action and leaver action center fire rifles can be used for hunting Shotguns can be used for hunting but pump action and semi automatic have to be limited to two shots and you need to be approved to own them ( special permanent can be granted for some applications) And there’s storage requirements that need to be in place I’m by no means an expert on this but it would be good to talk to someone that is. Just for your knowledge and understanding of our laws And there are different classes of licenses for the different firearms and there like A - shotgun, rimfire air rifle B- center fire And so on
Also as a note on Australian law, even if you are a licensed and registered gun owner, there is no legal defence if you shoot and kill someone in self defence.
Wrong, there can be a legal defence where a gun is used for self defence in Australia, but it just depends on the circumstances. A person going armed in public intending to use the weapon for self defence would be on very shaky ground. In the case of a home invasion, use of a firearm in self defence could be justifiable - depending on the circumstances (was the shooter's actions reasonable?).
@@michaelscanlon6279 we are inching toward environments in the West, where the populace rightfully doesn’t trust others or the “society” defining what their reasonable actions can and can’t be.
I grew up in regional Australia pre gun ban, used to walk the paddocks and the bush with my grandfathers old Lithgow (which was converted to a model and firing pin removed, my uncle has it on his mantle piece). It made sense to have a gun there, but in suburban Australia even back then it didn’t make sense. So when the ban came in, nobody cared as long as those who needed them could get them. In America, it ingrained in your culture that ever is allowed one, so, no way could you ban guns now.
I’m Australian and am glad guns aren’t super common, but I totally agree. “If everyone else has a gun, then I want a gun” lol so true if I was living in the US, I would absolutely want a gun.
Unfortunately it leaves the Australian people vulnerable to authoritarianism. Although many believe that could never occur in Australia. It is only in places like China or North Korea where the government exercises authoritarian control over its people.
@@DissidentClipper you mean the ones that happened in one state....how we're the ones in usa, because they sure as shit happened too. I remember seeing yall crying about them.
We sort of do. If you beat the shit out of someone inside your house after they break in you're going to be pretty OK by the law. IF you chase them out and then beat the shit out of them its a different story. We're allowed to defend ourselves with reasonable force.
In some states you're not allowed to own a firearm that looks like a military weapon or has a foldable stock. If it looks mean it's illegal. My question to the politicians who came up with that law, when a provisional driver who is restricted to drive a car with limitations on its power goes and puts on a louder exhaust, full body kit, and big rims, even though the car looks and sounds fast and it's still the same legal P plate car that is within the licence restrictions of a provisional driver. Should that driver be told they're not allowed to own it because it looks too fast? If a firearm is a legal firearm does it matter what it looks like? You are only allowed to own a hand gun for sporting use and not for protection. If you mention the word protection in your application you will be denied a licence. You can still own a semi-automatic rifle but there are very strict laws around it and you better have a monumental reason for needing it (mostly feral animal control) and deep pockets. I am a gun owner and I like and respect our laws here in Australia, but what I wouldn't give to own whatever I want.
Guns and bombs are designed and very effective at killing things, and lots of them, kitchen knives and baseball bats aren't. There's a huge difference between a weapon and an item.
Not all guns are meant for killing, many are meant for defense. Take an AR-15, the vodoo scary gun. It uses .223 round (5.56mm is similar round) and was meant to NOT kill but wound. Because taking out a target but keeping him alive takes 2 soldiers out of the fight, the target and the guy that has to get him out of the fight. Killing the target only takes one soldier out of the fight, as a dead target doesn't need rescued. Most often guns are designed to protect or defend, not to kill. That is a by product. Ironically enough, the guns most people agree are safe for civilians are intentionally made to kill. Like Bolt Action Rifles (Hunting) and Shotguns.
@@odinaden. Interesting perspective on the AR-15. However, I would still have to say that comparing a gun to makes little logical sense as it's still a weapon of war that is much more effective at killing multiple people than random items. It may be less effective than other guns at killing from a military perspective, but that's just comparing one type of gun to another, like saying a Sidewinder missile isn't as good at killing as a ICBM.
@Aaron Bergey No, you couldn't. It's stupid to even think you'd be threatening to a group with just a knife, sock, nylon, rope, hemp, or anything long and tactile LOL.
