Indeed it's a widely held misconception amongst Americans that we can't have ANY guns. I live in rural Australia and I have a couple for pest control. I don't shoot for fun, they're a tool with a purpose, just like a tractor or a chainsaw, but they'd probably be considered kid's guns in the US, a single shot 12 gauge shotgun and a bolt action .17HMR, perfectly adequate for rabbits, foxes and snakes. What I can't have is an AR15 clone or a Glock handgun because I don't have a demonstrable need for them and that's fine as far as I'm concerned. I support strong gun legislation because it's good for the community as a whole. I don't support every Tom, Dick and Harry being able to own anything they want just because they have a gun fetish.

Good reaction, guys. Looking forward to Part 2. It wasn't an outright gun ban in Australia. What actually happened was they got serious at the Federal level, instead of each State doing their own thing. People can still own guns here, but there is a tough licensing and registration process to work through. Some gun types are banned outright, or require extra-special treatment. Conceal-carry permits are not a thing. In Australia, there are actually more guns in private hands now then when the new laws came in, but they are strictly regulated. Our violent crime rate remains low, our civil rights remain pretty solid, we haven't been overrun with gun-toting criminals, nobody talks about putting weapon scanners or security guards in our schools, and mass shootings continue to be a rarity. I believe that MONEY is at the core of the USA's gun problem. Private gun ownership in the USA is a business worth billions of dollars per year, and the people profiting wish to keep doing so. So they pour serious money into politics and the media, promote fear and paranoia at every turn, convince people that the answer to all their problems is MORE GUNS, and then wave a patriotic flag over it all. Not saying what we Aussies did would work in the USA, given just how far gone you guys are, but you need to start somewhere.

I mean, Australia averaged about 2 years between mass shootings before the Port Arthur massacre and the resulting buy back, restrictions and whatnot. And after, the average is about 1.17 years. And that's without as significant cultural, societal/political, and border issues as the US has. The US has higher concentrations of minorities, such as black people, who commit a disproportionate amount of crime, including most shootings, which are usually race on race, gang on gang. It's also where the headline "Guns are the x highest cause of death of children" comes from, because that stat includes those up to 19 years old I believe, or at least 17, which isn't exactly a child. Guns are also not pushed in the US like you suggest. Quite the opposite. Being anti-gun is also very profitable. People yell at you from every angle, telling you that guns are exclusively evil and you are too for wanting/having one, you must love dead kids, wishing harm upon you and your family, etc, etc. You're right that the media push fear and paranoia, but it's to divide, and make people anti-gun, not go out and buy more. Anything pro-gun is heavily censored/suppressed, even things just trying to educate people, because most people have no idea what they're talking about since the mainstream media is mostly misinformation and emotional manipulation. Even the President himself spews all manner of bs about guns, and "jokes" about the tyrannical government, saying your ARs won't save you, because they have F-15s... Then there's the issue of the laws we already had not being enforced due to corruption and terrible policies, mostly from the democrat/anti-gun side ironically. If you actually look into what they do, it would be easy to think that they actually want it to continue. They keep releasing criminals, even with violent records, multiple deportations, possession of firearms as a felon, grapes etc. They create "gun-free" zones, which are just a massive target for evil people, telling them to go there because no one will be able to stop them, and of course that's where many actual, non gang, mass shootings happen. And of course they're usually worse than ones where people are actually allowed to defend themselves. They restrict ammo purchases, magazine capacity, make it as tedious, unnecessary, and prohibitively expensive as possible to get permits and just do anything with guns in general, etc. But the criminals just use whatever they want, usually acquired illegally, so the law almost exclusively harms good people, neutering to even destroying their ability to defend themselves or others. And the cities/states they implement this stuff in have the worst crime, including shootings, and either stay the same or get worse afterward.

You cannot buy any firearm anywhere in the US without an FBI background check (including so-called gun shows), what you cannot own in the US is a fully automatic, unless you have as special license (since I train Police Officers and Swat Teams), I do have a couple of fully auto's. I am also fully licensed to teach and train firearm use, safety, and CCL/CHL license. The most fun I have with Guns are shooting competitions, afterward is usually trick shooting. at 18+ meters Shooting gum balls off 8 golf tees in a row (without hitting any part of the tee) my record is 1.88 seconds. Standing 20 feet away, with two baloons with a distance of 8 feet between them, pop both and sounds like a single shot. Winning compitions is how I pay for ammo and firearms. Favorite rifle is a 10 shot bolt action .308

I was in the Western Australia Police and would not leave the Station without my gun. Smith and Wesson when I joined, and we crossed over to Glocks later. I was also part of the District Response Unit and we trained with 5 shot Shot Guns and 303 Rifles for high risk entries and high risk car stops. We had them if required but at the station. There are Units that have them all the time.

The Gun Ban in Australia wasn't to remove all weapons, but to remove high-powered and assault type weapons; if you require to need a gun or rifle to carry out your job, then you need to be licensed to use that weapon e.g: farmers, police, certain type of security, etc. Even though there was a reduction in weapons, there were still multiple shoots; but nothing to the level of Port Arthur(Tasmania, Australia). After the mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand they introduced a similar Gun Ban as Australia. Gun Control is about doing checks on those requiring a firearm, looking at the mental state of the applicant; and restricting the type of firearm necessary, it's not restricting the right to own a firearm.

Cops have guns here in Aus, they’re just barely used. Cuffs are barely used too. They’re pretty chill if you’re not a flog.

unlike the UK, Police Officers in Australia still carry fire-arms. The gun regulations are just more strict over here than the US. Most people can still own guns down here. A majority of Farmers I know all have guns, in fact, I'm not aware of any farmers that don't have guns on their property, even if all they have are .22's

Every police officer for as long as I’ve known has been armed with a sidearm, Tazers came as an add on.

All Australian police officers carry guns. New Zealand and British Police do not carry guns, only asp batons and tasers. I worked for the police in Australia for 15 yrs, we had a huge walk in safe in the watch house at our police station where all of the weapons (including long arm) and seized drugs were kept. Officers are NOT permitted to take their service weapons home though, they must be signed back in by a senior officer after every shift and every gun has a place so that you can see immediately if a weapon is missing. The difference here is that not that many crooks have guns, and even then it’s the larger criminal gangs that usually just take each other and they never target the public. The incidence of police related shootings is minimal in this country. Certainly a much safer place to live (and I’ve been to the US 3 times and never felt safe). Lived here 63 years and never felt afraid.

A couple of points:- The 2A was never designed for personal protection and definitely not for people to carry guns around. The guns were supposed to be kept at home in case you guys had to form a militia to fight against a tyrannical government. Also, protection is always after the fact. If someone walks into a school and starts spraying bullets kids have already died, by which point an armed guard is too late. Even if you are carrying a gun in the street, if someone wants to shoot you they can do it ftom a distance with no warning, so your gun is redundant. The best you can hope for is that a citizen is able to minimize the damage by shooting the attacker but the attacker will normally have shot several people first. In the UK we also had a school massacre in Scotland in 1996. We also took measures to tighten the gun laws and haven't had a massacre since. We did have 5 people killed not too long ago but guess what, it was by an American. Gun deaths 2023:- UK - 53 US - 43,000 Even allowing for the population difference I think you'll agree that the 2A isn't keeping people safe. What it is doing is making a lot of rich people even richer. 🖖🏽❤🇬🇧

Wrong. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and BEAR Arms, shall not be infringed. I forgot the specifics (convenient I know) but there are documents where some of the founding fathers and creators of the 2A clarify that it's meant to apply to all law abiding citizens, whether it be for a militia, personal protection, or recreation, and that well regulated meant in good working order, aka staffed, supplied, trained/proficient, etc and NOT controlled/overseen by the government. The 2A is not the issue. It's laws we already had not being enforced because of corruption and insane policies, usually from the democrat/anti-gun side ironically. They're also responsible for implementing "gun-free" zones, which is where most of the actual mass shootings happen because they just painted a massive target for evil people, telling them not to worry about shooting that place up, because there will be no one to stop you. Then there's the high concentrations of black people, who commit a disproportionate amount of crime, including shootings which are usually black on black, gang on gang, and account for the majority of so called mass shootings and gun deaths apart from suicides. Suicides which account for about half of the total, and to be blunt, aren't very relevant, since the majority of people doing that will find a way with or without a gun. You need to look at the why and not so much the tool. There's also the unsecure border with Mexico where illegal immigrants, cartels, drugs, and GUNS flood in. Seriously, your logic is so flawed. It assumes restrictions take the guns away from the bad guys, when it only disarms the ones who are trying to protect themselves and others from the bad guys. And the police are going to take far longer to stop the threat than a random good guy with a gun. Many such cases. The cities/states in the US that have gone the furthest to restrict guns have the worst crime, violence, and shootings. Australia also had a massacre and then had a gun buy back, many restrictions, etc. They averaged about 2 years between mass shootings before, and about 1.17 years after.

@@CasuallyCareening thank you for confirming what I said. The true purpose of the 2A has been bastardized. I guess it's down to common sense. If you let everybody have guns without strict control then chaos will ensue, which is what you have. I watch a YT channel called police activity and a majority of the police shootings are either on black criminals or mentally unstable people but not all. Some people simply refuse to comply with a simple traffic stop and then pull a gun on them. Contrary to common belief we are allowed to own guns in the UK but it's strictly controlled and a privilege rather than a right. We just don't want millions of guns in our land. Almost all our shootings are gang on gang, which in my opinion is just fine. The less of them we have the better. One thing you don't see over here is people walking into gas stations with a gun. Knife crime has gone through the roof over here recently since our feeble woke government has invited millions of illegal immigrants to our tiny island and this is a big problem along with Pakistani rape gangs grabbing women and young girls. This is the procedure for owning a firearm in the UK. First you have to apply for a license to the local police inspector stating for what purpose you need it and what type of firearm you want. The reason it's the local police inspector that's tasked with this job is because he/her will have more local knowledge. Then they start with criminal record checks (we have a central intelligence database for the entire uk). Then they will contact your employer, friends, family and sometimes your doctor. They will interview you at your home and ensure that you have a secure gun locker bolted to the wall and suitable for that firearm and that you are the only person who can gain access to it. They will be assessing your character, and only then will they make a decision as to whether they will grant you a license. If they have even the slightest doubt they will reject it. If you are transporting your firearm it must be in a case, unloaded and the ammunition kept in a separate container so you can't just pull it out and use it. The police will carry out random unannounced spot checks at your house to make sure you're following the rules. They can revoke your license at any time and for any reason and remove your firearm. I'm no expert on your procedures and I know that different states have different laws, but I think you'll agree that it's a bit more stringent than anything you have in the USA and I'm bloody grateful for it. The first duty of any government is to create a safe environment for the people and this is what this does. It's not oppression, it's freedom. Freedom to not have to buy your kids bullet proof backpacks or have them go through a metal detector. Freedom to go to a movie or a mall and not have some lunatic open fire on you. Having said all that, I was married to an American for 15 years and always went to the local gun range and tried different firearms and I loved it. I'm also a bloody good shot. However, I still wouldn't want people walking around with guns and to me it makes no sense for a modern society to do so. Anyway, it's been an ongoing topic for many years and I'm glad we are able to have an intelligent conversation about it rather than reacting to our emotions. But then I'm British and don't really have any emotions. (Self deprecating joke). Be well and stay safe my friend. 🖖🏽❤🇬🇧

The right to bear arms was meant for that context, not for personal protection against mythical ghetto ninja enemies you have to be ready for at your door. If you dig into historical documents with an education on the era and language of its time, it's been found that a lot of the founding fathers were clear that the main point was about collective defense against tyranny.

Australian police carry guns, but they don't pull them out every 5 minutes. Some cops go their entire careers without drawing their firearm. There's a LOT of paperwork and justification for a cop to draw any weapon. I was a cop. I drew my taser once - didn't even use it - and still had to write a report justifying my decision to pull it from its holster.

As an Australian, we do have guns and a lot of guns. Just different rulings now. There are multiple gun classes that you have to register on your weapon licence. And certain criteria for gun storage. We can still own anything from a simple single shot rifle up to and including semiautomatic rifles, you just need to present a justification for ownership.

Guess my other comment got censored. But yeah, did those rules really help as much as people say? The time between mass shootings before Port Arthur was about 2 years on average, and about 1.17 years after. If you only average the 28 years before vs after, it’s pretty close. After, the number of victims isn’t that much lower either, especially considering how much of an anomaly Port Arthur was. Some graphs even show the gun deaths per capita increase for a few years after the new regulations, despite being on the decline before Port Arthur. And that's without nearly as significant cultural, political, and border issues as the US. Like the US having a much higher concentration of minorities, including black people, who commit a disproportionate amount of crime, including shootings. That also accounts for almost half of the deaths, and are usually race on race, gang on gang. It's also where most of the mass shooting stats come from, as well as the headline "guns are the x highest cause of death for children", since the stat includes up to 19 or 17 year olds. There’s also all the illegal immigrants, drugs, guns, etc flooding in through the border with Mexico. There’s suicides, which are about half of the deaths as well, and aren’t too relevant because most will find another way without a gun. There are even self defense uses of guns included in these stats. There are lots of factors, with guns themselves being a small part. I mean, we have about 50% of the civilian owned weapons in the world, and that’s not even including all the illegal ones. And still, the gun crime doesn’t reflect that. By most people’s logic it should be astronomically higher than it is.

⁠ it’s hard to say if it actually helped. Shooting were on a decline prior to port Arthur , certainly “mass” shootings declined. But that being said the government also increased the amount requires to be defined as MASS, so it’s not really a fair comparison. Yer correct Australia certainly doesn’t have a gang problem like the US and doesn’t have a population size like the US. So we will always have lower shootings. But this mindset off Australians don’t want guns is really not the case, in the cities certainly most people don’t want them because they have no need, however most country people are the complete opposite.

@@jpdprophotography6693 I was talking about mass shootings, which was the main point of the regulations. Just google Australia mass shootings, and it's right there. There are also problems with general "gun violence" stats. They often include accidents, self defense shootings, and suicides. At the very least, a distinction needs to be made, because they are not the same as homicides or mass shootings, yet they're treated the same way to put as much blame on the guns as possible. And of course if they take away guns from everyone but the bad guys, which is most of them, there are going to be less accidents, self defense shootings, and suicides involving firearms. The point is, most people claim that bad guys with guns, particularly mass shootings, were basically eliminated thanks to the regulations, but that simply isn't true. The reality is, comparing the 28 years before and after, they are only a little less frequent, and there haven't been that many fewer victims. And that's not even taking into account what an anomaly Port Arthur was, even before more strict regulation.

In Australia police are armed to the teeth! Also you can own guns, no problem but you need to belong to a gun club, have a license (which isn't hard to get) and register it. Many people I know have many guns, they are just responsible with them!

When he says "no more guns" in Australia he is referring to only a limited range of firearms, same as in NZ. I'm a Kiwi, former law enforcement and military officer and I own and use a range of firearms, including pistols for range shooting. I see no need for a gun to protect me or my family as we live in a very safe country and I keep all of my weapons secured. I agree with his comment that the US is a very different culture and on my visits there I have felt generally less safe than at home for a range of reasons. The police here are generally unarmed, unlike our Aussie cuzzies who are.

I moved to South America and i had never shot a gun before. Right before i left i went to a gun range and shot an assault rifle. Everyone always told me that i would fall in love with guns after i shot one. Nope. I hated it. It scared the shit out of me just how easy they are to use. It's like a point and click level of easy to hit a target dead center with one of those things and they're shockingly light. It's fucking terrifying that they exist and they really shouldn't, much less should they be so accessable.

Australian Police have guns

U can have a gun in Australia if you are a hunter or farmers but u just gotta a special license which u get a mental health check and probably a how to use it safely

Something Jim doesn't say quite right in this is that they "took our guns away". Not really true. After Port Arthur the Aus Government (lead by a conservative party at the time) made the decision to deny ownership of certain types of auto and semi-auto guns, and required registration of all the other ones we wanted to keep - involving some specific needs to meet that qualifies you to be permitted to keep legally owning them. The needs aren't that tough, they could be for pest control on farmland, or as a job requirement if you were private security, or even just as a hobby if you are an active member of a sporting shooting club. The actual event when we "gave our guns back" was an amnesty period where if you did not want or need to continue to own a weapon then you could surrender it at a police station. I believe there was a compensation you were paid as well, but I was only a kid at the time so I don't remember that too well. My dad surrendered an SMLE rifle for example - it was complete, but we had no need for it. Not like you'd really want to fight off house invaders with a WWII rifle with a loose AF bolt action anyway. What does today's landscape look like? Mate, there are easily significantly more guns across the Australian population now than there were during Port Arthur. The difference is that the vast, VAST majority of them are registered and correctly handled. Yes there are still crimes involving guns but they are so few and far between that single incidents make the national news. As for me, I don't hate guns at all. I quite like them. I live about a 5 minute drive from the shooting range that will be used in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, and I've visited there numerous times to shoot. Mates of mine have property south and out west from me that they shoot roos and rabbits on. I'm quite comfortable with handling a weapon, be it revolver, pistol, shotgun or rifle. Do I need one at home though? Or tucked into my belt just to leave the house? Am I scanning for threats when I fill up my car at the servo? Hell no. We just don't have that kind of culture here. And I do have to say, the freedom that we enjoy as a result of that period of compromise and adjustment is a world apart to the daily life we see from over there. The likelihood of being involved in any type of shooting is that insignificant it just doesn't factor into any day to day life considerations for us. It's the 26th of June 2024 that I'm typing this, and records show that as of the 24th of June the USA has had 253 reported mass shootings just since the 1st of January. Four were on the 24th of June alone; the day before that there were 8. Since Port Arthur, 28 years ago, Australia has had 24 incidents in total, the most recent being two years ago.

We didn't have the biggest massacre on earth, that happened in Norway.

Guns make sense in the US, because the US has a strongly rooted culture of gun violence and there are way too many guns already. Consequently, if the gun laws are too strict, then the country will be in a situation were bad guys have all the guns, and the good guys are at a disadvantage. Other Western countries do not have strong cultures of gun violence, and they have smaller populations with less guns on the streets. So, it is easier to control guns. Just an opinion.

Asking if you can drive drunk is a silly question. Even ignoring the legal aspect, It's not a yes or no question, it depends on how impaired you are. I've driven drunk, very drunk, and extremely drunk. Drunk is manageable for most, very drunk was tricky, extremely drunk I got into an accident (minor fender bender). Thing is, that extremely drunk fender bender was just luck... if I lost control of the vehicle in a different place, different speed, or with more traffic, things would have turned really ugly for more people than myself. It takes skill to assess your level of impairment, while impaired... this is why you should never drive while drunk.

Cops in australia are armed. In th UK they are not. Australia had similar gun laws to amerixa until the 1990s. And for the record, you can still own a gun in australia. Theres just lots of rulrs about it. Its not the insane american approach of just giving assault rifles to anyone who wants it.

Jim is a funny guy, but he does exaggerate a bit, firearms have never been banned in Australia. I’ll go into more details below, but here’s some USA stats from last year: * There were approx 640 mass shootings in the USA in 2023 (mass shooting = 4 or more people shot, either killed or wounded). *Those approx 640 mass shootings in 2023 average out to 1.75 per day * There were 40,000+ firearm related death in the USA in 2023. * In the USA there are MORE firearms than people! Being an Aussie, guess which country I’m going to be safer in? And it ain’t Merica!! Back to Jim, firearms are not banned in Australia, actually there are more registered firearms here today compared to back in 1996. But..... Since 1996 we have introduced stricter licensing and registration. Any Australian can apply for a firearm licence (except for those with a criminal record or a history of mental illness), but you have to have a ‘valid’ reason, such as: sport shooter, hunting, collector, farmer, pest control, etc. Licensing is also strict regarding the ‘type’ of firearm, eg, semi-auto rifles are restricted to people such as professional pest controllers, you can’t have ‘any’ firearm you want, it has to match the type of licence you have. The average idiot in the suburbs can’t own a semi-auto firearm, or any firearm, without a valid reason, for obvious reasons! Self defence is not a valid reason in Australia, we don’t live in fear. Yes we do have firearms in Australia, but linked to sensible rules and laws, unlike Merica. Cheers, (PS, have to do Part 2, ok?)

Australia averaged about 2 years between mass shootings before Port Arthur and about 1.17 years after. Australia also doesn't have nearly the same cultural, political, or border issues that the US does. This is a relatively recent issue. It wasn't even as bad when we could still buy machine guns. The laws are not the problem. A big part of it is the laws we already had not being enforced due to corruption and horrendous policies, usually from the democrat/anti-gun side ironically. If you actually look at what they do, it would be easy to think they want it to continue. It is one of their biggest platforms after all. The US also has a much higher concentration of minorities, including black people, who commit a disproportionate amount of crime, including shootings, which account for most guns deaths, besides suicides which are about half the total, and are usually race on race, gang on gang. That's also where most of the mass shootings stats come from, which often include 3 casualties not 4, and where the headline "guns are the x highest cause of death for children" comes from, because the stat includes up to either 19 or 17 year olds.

What trips me out about his point and this is the same point everyone that's against gun ownership makes is without guns gun violence drops. Yes that's true. What nobody talks about is how home invasions go up or knife violence goes up. When people know that somebody they're planning to attack or kill might be armed, generally speaking, they don't attack them. Which means the ability to own a gun by default decreases violent crime. Every state that has harsh gun laws have the highest gun violence. Why? Because criminals that use guns to commit violent crimes don't buy their guns legally. Which means preventing a person from buying a gun legally only hurts the law abiding person while helping the violent criminal. You dont cut the horns off a deer to keep it safe from a lion

"What nobody talks about is how home invasions go up or knife violence goes up." Yet that's not what happened in Australia. Total gun deaths more than halved, the total homicide rate halved. "When people know that somebody they're planning to attack or kill might be armed, generally speaking, they don't attack them." Then why does the US, the most armed populace on the planet, have the worst homicide rate by FAR of all 1st world nations? "Every state that has harsh gun laws have the highest gun violence." Lol no, who told you that crap? Eight of the worst ten states for homicide are red states with weak gun laws.

'Making good points'. But let's not that think about that.

5:30 only SOME parts of a gun can be purchased without a permit. Some of the required core components are still regulated.
