This Australian comedian’s take on America’s hypocritical gun laws is perfect

Considering that he was once attacked onstage while performing at the Manchester Comedy Store, it’s interesting to hear Australian comic Jim Jefferies’ stance on guns.

In this bit from a show he did in 2014, Jefferies brilliantly and hilariously points out the absurdity of America’s reaction to mass shootings as opposed to his native Australia.

“In Australia, we had the biggest massacre on earth. The Australian government went, ‘That’s it! No more guns!’ And we all went, ‘Yeah, alright then. That seems fair enough.’ Now in America, you have the Sandy Hook Massacre where little, tiny children died, and your government went, ‘Maybe – we’ll get rid of the BIG guns?’”
