Just watched it. Really funny. No comment other then that.
-------------------- The inquiry ‘Who Am I?’ represents the deepest spiritual quest mankind has ever known. In three incredibly short words, it asks several existential questions, including those like ‘What is consciousness?’ and ‘What does it mean to be alive?’ So what’s the answer?

I love jim jefferies but his logic is seriously flawed on this one
Quote:
"your 80% more likely to use it on yourself than to shoot someone else"
If you want to kill yourself you're gonna do it with or without a gun. What are you going to do without a gun during a home invasion? Call the police so they can bring you some blankets and cocoa or take you to the morgue?
Quote:
I wasn't wearing my holster
Well for one with a small pistol in a holster becomes just as much a thing you carry as a wallet; you don't notice it. Don't want to wear a holster around all the time? Completely understandable. But in your own home there is no reason you should not be able to get to your gun before someone can gain entry into your home.
Quote:
most people who are breaking into your house just want your fucking tv"
Some yes, but how do you know what they want? Are you okay with leaving your life in the hands who is crazy enough to break into your home while you are inside? Most thiefs break in when you are not home.
Quote:
" I'm a responsible gun owner I keep my guns in a safe" THEN THEY'RE NOT FUCKING PROTECTION *pretends to be fiddling with combination lock*
You can get biometric safes for a couple hundred bucks where you just press your hand on the pad and the door pops open. Even a digital keypad safe (the majority of gun safes) wouldn't take 10 seconds to open
Don't feel like responding to the second half of the video I think I got my point accross

I seen jim Jefferies live, hes hilarious and I love his jokes even though I don't agree with them. Australia and America are two very different cultures though, and I don't believe guns will EVER be illegal in America.
just a dose of reality, there will always be massacres and people murdered in cold blood. I love when the news tries to talk like they can stop this stuff from happening and one day we will live in some sort of utopia.
I believe this world will only get more complex and we will one day stop thinking that talking about mass murder is going to stop mass murder.
its sort of like when new drugs pop up and no one knows about them until the media advertises it and then they are dumbfounded like "why is this drug becoming more popular all we did was give it free advertising and put the idea into others heads to try it"
I don't blame guns I blame the news...

Yeah the whole we haven't had a repeat massacre incident since they banned guns is flawed as well. They still have gun crime just not at a large scale massacre. Considering those are very rare already it really doesn't do much for the other amount of crime committed using illegal guns. This chart basically shoes an increase in homicide after the ban.

Oh yeah the UK is full of psychos that would rather chop someone up than shoot someone.
I blame that movie "doomsday" it was really big over there and now they got a bunch of "punk" thugs that talk with fruity accents.
over there they use medieval weapons. those fucking crazy bastards.

Just saw "relentless" in theaters. Certain theaters just did a quick one or two night showing.
-------------------- Here's what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride. Take all the money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over , not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. ~Bill Hicks~ Looking to build up a print library

Its funny how people defend peoples right to gun massacres. Get rid of your guns, and i mean make them hard to get not flat out illegal(as in licenses). Like come on... really do you REALLY need to carry around military rifles and carry pistols as you would say a phone? atm I would agree with that. You fucked up your country by spreading your stupid guns to every idiot who wants one. Creating your stupid gun culture. Now I agree you need protection because everyone else has one. Although measure do need to be taken to get rid of this and get as much of it as possible at one stage or another. It will happen and you outta hope so, because when the world crumbles to whatever kills it or even just america crumbling its gunna be a warzone. Never will be consider a modern country when you give mentally ill people lethal weapons.
