    This remarkable, polymath has another private and most generous side to him: in the last decade, he personally mobilised fellow comedians into a Pro-bono effort to raise money for a Vocational Free-School, for students diagnosed with Autism, many of whom were excluded from education or were "refusers" from education. I won't name his "comedy pals", but he is a big man, leading a big life!

    Yes the American Founding Fathers did know about the advancement of fire arms and that there would be rapid firing ones eventually.
    Rapid firing fire arms existed at the time. They were just very exspensive and prone to miss fire and chain fireing.
    One of the founding fathers gave a 30 round gun to Lewis and Clarke.

      Yes and they were perfectly fine with men owning ships with cannons. In those days a well armed ship could do all kinds of damage. The modern equivalent would be owning a fully loaded B-52 and a squad of f-16's, and employing a company of Marines.

    Had an American boss a few years back, near retirement age, professional decent bloke, spent 2 weeks in UK, 2 back in the US and he flew back on the Friday, I was new to the business and was working the weekend, he said any problems give me a call. Found a common defect on these huge cast iron assemblies was going to ruin production for weeks so thought better give the boss a call. He lost his mind completely, not because I called but because he was stalking dear and the call scared off the prey. Lol he was livid for weeks.

    I took my drunk friend to Charity Hospital in New Orleans after he put his hand through a window and cut open his radial artery. I noticed all the doctors were wearing their stethoscopes, lab coats and 9mm pistols on their belts. Then an older doctor walked by with a .44 magnum. I asked him why he had such a big gun and he told me he was "sick of making more work for himself".

      No, bit everyone has made the comparison of today's guns and muskets, there's not much difference you can do with how a musket was loaded, but he backed off after the loading if it as to one he knew that that's as far as he could take it, 2 the joke had been made by Jim Jeffries and everyone remembers THAT gun control skit and three he doesn't want to get done for intellectual property rights by stealing a joke from another comedian, even though down the years many comedians steal jokes and add them to their sets, slightly tweaked..rich halls is different take on Americans and guns, and the musket comparison will be made and has been made before . That's how muskets were loaded, and that's the action of your pretending to load a musket. He came to it from a different angle, so it's fair use , and he didnt plagiarise Jim's whole piece, it's his take on the difference between muskets and today's rifles..his duck analogy sums that up, and that's pretty funny lol.

The mystery isn't solved until you know Rich's material as well as you think you know Jim's.

      And if you're questioning how I *know* that this is meant to include warships, the answer is very simple. Because historically the US civilian population owned warships. It's a bit of a giveaway.

    When seconds count, the police will be there in minutes. But our courts have ruled the police are not legally obligated to protect your life. So they may wait outside until SWAT arrives, and even then there's no guarantee it's not already too late. I'm from England and glad I was not raised there.

He's not wrong about the gun thing but I have to say my opinion on the subject has flipped since I moved over here. Doesn't stop it being funny though.

    Rich Hall is hilarious, sometimes, but he's kind of hit-and-miss. I always felt like he was super-talented, but never quite put it all together. Not all of his rifs are landing. He seems old and bitter, sort of. "Why didn't I get my own show and become a movie star?"
    He really is brilliant. I just wish he'd really hone his best stuff and weed out the stuff that doesn't land. I imagine he's done OK as a writer.

  • @onpsxmember
    @onpsxmember 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That bit (if really based on his neighbour) makes me think it is partially based on ignorance. Waterfowl is hunted with shotguns and non toxic shot. There are several shotguns that are based on an AK action like from Saiga or other manufacturers that look similar. Seeing a 'bad' rifle doesn't make it an AK-47. There are very little AK-47 in the USA, almost all AK variants are AKM. If his neighbour isn't hunting illegally and scraped together 30-50k $ for a pre-1986 ban kit he won't have a full auto AK-47. If he went hunting with him or maybe fishing instead, he'd get to know his neighbour a bit better.
    The advertising line (2: 07) would mean any violent action movie seen around the world would have the same effect on people. The peaceful brits need a sign saying 'please don't glass the paramedics'. The big difference is the USA is the horrible state of the regular school system and medical care in the USA. If someone wants to find a gun to do ill they'll find one. If not, stabby female in a bus rakes up 12+ bodies or a truck can be stolen to harm others. Stopping that violent BS before it starts to manifest in a head would be actually helpful. But that would be complicated and cost more. If you want less violence overall in the US of A, get those idjits laid by legalizing prostitution with medic aid and taxes, and write into law 4 weeks paid vacation. That calms people down and gives a different outlook on life. Simple solutions like way back "It's the devil's music" or "It's videogames", "It's guns" are easier on the mind but achieve nothing.
    The media also have their part in this:
    Look at mass attacks in the 70s when guns could be mail ordered to your doorstep. In schools mostly a single bully or teacher was attacked and that was it. After the news made someone popular, named them with a picture and kept a tally of victims, suddenly some crazies want to be famous for a higher body count. Thx mass media. If they wouldn't mention name and specific details there'd be less random mass attacks.
    Rich is quite the history buff but doesn't look into the 2A and it's history.
    I like Rich and lots of his comedy, especially the Tom Cruise bit.

      Not anywhere that doesn’t have any guns at all. The problem with letting everyone have guns, is inevitably bad people end up with them. Much better no-one has guns, and then bad people don’t have them either.
