There are 20,000 laws on the books what do you want????????? The gun problem......is not a problem. There is a violence problem. I carry because I CAN.
The test applied in Australia is basically: what do you want to be able to shoot? If the answer is targets, pest animals, or game for eating, then you can get a (non-auto) gun, as long as you pass a background check, sit out a waiting period, and can prove you have safe storage for it. If your answer is: I want to be able to shoot *people* (even in self defence), then the answer is "no gun for you", and everyone is safer for it.
Best response I have seen to it before was: *"Americans are happy they have the right to carry guns for protection. Australians are happy they don't need them in the first place!"*
Idiocy. Criminals don't care about laws. You are not safer by not being able to protect yourself. Not only that, but you also let the criminals know you don't have guns. Good thing you let them know you're defenseless. Interesting how these mass shootings don't happen in areas where schools have armed security and citizens can legally carry. Your idealistic world of peace is great, but guns exist, thus the only real solution is to make sure that criminals don't dare to try anything for fear of their life. The only reason the government isn't out of hand is because the people have guns. I like not being forced into COVID quarantine camps. There are so many people who think getting a gun is easy but have never owned or shot one. There are gun safety classes and background checks involved. It's not an instantaneous process where you just swipe your card and walk out with a gun. The majority of gun deaths occur by pistol yet they only seem to want to ban "Assault weapons," a mythological category of weapons that don't exist. Gun control isn't about saving people, rather it is simply a means to more control.
That loony girl was going on about immigrants, those Aussies were probably tourists not immigrants, but she probably doesn't understand the difference, but she was also a perfect example of why the USA should have gun control.
He even chased a woman and her two little girls to behind a tree and shot them point blank, shot them to death. Evil arrived at Port Arthur on that terrible day. So sorry for any family directly affected by this horrific event. So glad that the Australian government acted immediately and the rest is history. LOVE being an Australian
LIFE is precious in Australia!! 😠 Yes one man lost his whole family, not by accident, but they were hunted down and shot one by one - babies! Can anyone imagine his nightmares and memories - forever! 😭
I was a gangster growing up, and I turned in a Remington M700 and two Tec-DC9s. The cops that took them looked at me weird, and I just shrugged. I didn't even take money for them - figured if my enemies don't have guns either, then we'll just fight with lead pipes ... and win or lose everyone gets to live.
funny , a gangster tried to kill my mum when i was 13. but my mum kick and kicked with her pointy shoes , ya he hit me hard too. we got away but years later he tried to break in to my grandmas house . by breaking the front window. but my uncle was there with a 410 pistol and shot him dead . hooray! from memory i think i was 11 when a saw this lowlife stab a guy. ya he survived , but the lowlife had the cops in his pocket. then in 1988 i became a cop , payback time. no hanky panky just put them away where they belong . its now 2023 but once a cop always....... its the gift that never stops giving. lead pipes wtf? did u have ur brain removed?
your are part of this problem thats endemic world wide , i was a profiler an analyst and more . but what we cannot figure out is morons like you! fortunately we have a better court system here nice words send him down or guilty. ive seen more than u will ever see in ur life , shot fried stabbed suicide crashes drowning sharks domestic violence. we as humans have one chance at life , why choose chaos?

They were just answering her questions & she went nuts😂 my dad lives in the US & there’s lovely ppl there but also ones who refuse to believe that America is the world.
I have grown up in Australia and the first I went to America for a holiday, my Dad told me to be careful of guns. I had never seen one. I thought he was being paranoid. I was 32 yrs old and went to New Orleans and there was shooting in the French Quarter where I was staying. I froze and called my dad. He told me to come home. I mean people can fight fairly face to face. You can't fight fairly with a bullet.
Australia has gun clubs everywhere where people can go to shoot if they want to go nuts. If they get a license they can go hunting on land where they get permission. What nobody can do without special licenses for guards and police is walk around in public with a damned gun . Australians never have to worry about being shot at the shops, in clubs, at school. In our houses
Our guns are not for random criminals, they for our tyrannical government, the very people you think we need to give more control to. All shooting happen in gun free zones as well, not open carry!!
@@timothyreel716 that’s a load of bullshit. Your guns were supposed to be to HELP the government if a FOREIGN power tried to take you over. Even if it was actually to fight against a government , that was in the days of muskets. Riffles can’t beet an army today no matter how many you have. You have so many criminals, nutters and political activists who want to take over the government to turn you into a theocracy it’s embarrassing. You may agree with the people who do that, that’s your problem. No morals, no ethics. Willing to kill kids and innocent people every day just so that you can keep your delusions of grandeur alive. It’s disgusting .

That b@#$& be crazy, I’ve never heard anyone talk like that before, it’s fkn sad!!! More than 11,500 people killed by gun violence in America (in 2023 so far, in 4 months) 132 mass shootings, so far 398 children killed in gun violence, so far 🥲 If you don’t think there is a problem, then you are part of the problem 🤷🏽♂️ I was born in Philly PA in 1972 and my parents relocated to Australia in 1977 because of the abuse and threats they received by being in mixed race marriage… My father still says it’s the best decision he ever made
hi db nice to see a good outcome . i was a cop 15 yrs in nsw . a few occasions i drew my gun, all justified . but the strange thing about guns , they do not kill, people do!
@@stephenhoward4191 exactly my point, the problem with Americans is shoot first ask questions later! I’ve never had a problem with police in Australia, they are actually very respectful and understanding even when you’re acting like a clown (drunk situations)… The problem in America is they’ll hand out guns Willy nilly, shit, you could probably buy on the streets easily over there 🤷🏾♂️
"I'm gonna come visit America, I like seeing everything here that capitalism... and then they want to tell that the best place to live is Australia," yeah, too right, I like to visit the zoo and see all the wild animals but I don't want to live in the fucking jungle!
@@SoggyToast506Yea, because Americans are trying to avoid the Australian gun law to be passed down which is really sad. In Australia the government is really a stable one, everyone gets health care pretty much for free, multiculturalism , low-crime rates, etc.
I like guns, I always have. I was born in Finland, my father taught me to shoot when I was really young but I like living in Australia, a country where kids can go to schools without metal detectors and where a mass shooting is SO rare it stops the nation. They should be hard to get, 100%.
The Australians were kind enough to stop and converse with her rationally, but she was completely irrational, I hope she never leaves America, it's so scary out there in the real world! Falling Coconuts, Lightning strikes, Cyclones, Snakes and Sharks don't respond well to handguns! 🥺
@Lewis Wood most do, its if the bullet leaks and gets the gun powder wet they dont which is rare to have such dodgy bullets.. they even make spears with a shotgun shell attached you can buy so if your a diver you can poke a shark if it attacks and boom..
TEXAS has had 14 mass shootings so far in 2023. Mass shooting = 4 or more people killed or injured That’s more mass shootings in 4 months than australia has had in 40 years 13 of those were the decade before gun control
Gun ownership is similar (obviously not identical) to car ownership. Wonder how many Americans would support driving cars without passing a driving test, carrying a licence, roadworthiness testing or insurance?
Someone wanting a gun for sport shooting in Australia has to join a gun club? Wouldnt that constitute a " A WELL REGULATED MILITIA' Also? You can have a gun but you have to be a member of this group where other responsible gun owners can teach you how to use it safely. Why the hell would anyone want to live in a place like Australia a country that loves its children? Its far better to live in the USA where children are slaughtered on almost a daily basis. America as a whole is to blame, Dont give me this shit about the NRA buying politicians, I blame all those Americans that could vote but dont.
The militia in the United States is all citizens 18-45 capable of mustering at a moments notice, not a fucking gun club. Learn a bit before saying dumb shit.
It's fairly straight forward to get a license for A&B Long-arms, and a bit harder to get a C class, which is usually acquired by professional shooters, but it does take a lot more time and quite a few more hoops to jump through for an H license, however it is a tad easier if you already have an A&B, or C License. The H License though is designed to ensure applicants are not only good folk and don't have a criminal history, but that they're patient, and dedicated as well. Anyone who isn't both patient and dedicated, won't get their hands on a Handgun, which makes for a much more calm and responsible owner. I attend my club nearly every weekend and one thing is certain, the members are all incredibly stand up citizens while essentially being the salt of the earth. Great atmosphere to be honest.
I SUPPORT gun control and what Australia has done is great. The reason is freedom is two not one. Number 1 is to live everyone has a right to live and yet do they have that right in the USA.
I love your reaction man, you understand the importance and the actual problem of owning a gun. Unfortunately for Americans it’s written in your constitution, and therefore that’s your biggest problem. But your government is completely controlled by the gun lobby… 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🤨😉🤔
I wanted a gun for protection, for the "just in case" scenario, but then I realised that in the heat of the moment mistakes can be made that can't be taken back and changed my mind about even trying to get the licence and all the other requirements it'd take to own a gun here in Australia. I don't like how the government literally played Big Brother to citizens in a democratic nation, but I understood why they did it; and if it stops innocent people from being murdered then I'm ok with our gun control laws.
Your government is obviously very different from ours. They don't want to regulate guns to stop crime, they want to know where ever legal fire arm in America is they take them away from ALL citizens so they can take away ALL private property!
Nobody should be denied the right to protect their family and themselves. Idiots with firearms versus a sane man with a cricket bat. My father gave up his weapons after Port Arthur.... We've both fired rocket launchers but waited years for a weapons permit....
It's honestly not even that hard to get a gun. You need to complete a safety course, you need to have secure storage for the guns, you need to get the appropriate license for the guns and of course maintain your license. It is a level of inconvenience and waiting that weeds out dickheads though. Nobody buying guns on a whim and nobody buying them with the hope they'll "have to" defend themselves and kill somebody.
@@ulthanesmorkums 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.
most criminals can get whatever guns they want in Australia, it's just the general public that cannot get automatic guns. We still have regular gun crimes.
We learned from a mass shooting that day, we put people's lives before ownership of guns. At least children can go to school without fear of being shot at, can't understand why American prefer guns over children.
Thats a false dichotomy. Very illogical. It's not guns over people or children. We prefer to retain our gun ownership rights over being sent to prison vs being subjected to violent hoards of criminals and psychopaths.
Because here in America gun control won't = putting peoples lives before gun control. Due to our social and cultural dynamics, gun control here will cost more lives than it saves. Have you not heard about the violent nature of our law enforcement? Fun fact for you, law enforcement here kills 2-3 times more people EVERY YR than ALL rifles combined. That includes AR15s, AK47s etc. Cops kill more. Additionally, we have a large population of rebelious violent thugs who wont follow any laws, and police are largely afraid to deal with. Yall don't have that problem in Australia.
That New York/London statistic isn’t actually true…. In 2022 in London there were 106 murders,62 were stabbings,in the same year in NYC there were 433 murders,73 of which were stabbings. So whichever way you look at it NYC has 4x’s the murder rate and a higher knife death rate.
They were specific, they said shall not be infringed. Which means no restrictions at all. They wanted people to defend themselves against all of our personal and as a group enemies!
@@ratofvengence it’s okay think what you want. But at the end of the day I will use all my rights. And you and no one else will be able to take any of it away.

@@Pewpew1789 Don't mistake not wanting to let any fool have access to guns with being unaware, or even inexperienced with guns kiddo. Rookie error. "And when this world goes absolutely crazy. Then I will be able to protect myself, and I guess you won’t be able to." Lol, the US is already there, largely BECAUSE any fool can get a gun. That's why the US is the only 1st world nation with a 3rd world homicide rate. Meanwhile, I'll point out how illogical people's arguments are. That's why you ignored my question isn't it lol.
I was living in Tasmania when this happened. It shocked everyone in the entire state, which only has a population of ~500,000. Almost everyone knew someone who was personally affected.
G'day Mate! The emphasis is always on the murder rates by guns un the US but consider the 26,328 suicides by firearms last year and then there are the incidents where guns fall into the hands of children like a 6 year old taking mother's gun to school and shooting a teacher...Here in Australia the most firearm suicides are by farmers but as sad as that is in the decade 2009 to 2018 just 370 farmers took their own lives mostly with shotguns...Cheers!
hi clive , one of my mums best friends was diagnosed with terminal cancer, her way out , so bizarre...................... go to the shed ...........start the chainsaw , tape the trigger , drop ur neck on it , ya very messy! then one of best friends rang me from wa , her hubby fell under the harvester . as the internet tells us everything in oz kills us. but in reality it does not. i ve swam with sharks , inadvertently swam with crocs. had a goanna in my tent and a cassowary. almost twice killed by roos running flat out downhill. almost drowned , almost shot with a flare gun, funnel webs in my pool , in my shoes in my house. even now my garage full of redbacks snakes we were camping . me reading the paper , yeah a snake curled up with me . i do not get the usa personna . we have all that can kill but their motive seems to be , lets kill each other. ive been in cyclones , super cells , hail from hell, massive surf, there is never a need for a gun.the military , law enforcement need to have guns to level the field . farmers need guns to control pests , but lets get real who needs a gun unless ur a crim?
@@stephenhoward4191 Hey as tragic as that is there are 120.5 guns per 100 people in the USA so let's talk about unintentional shootings of children...about 100 deaths per year and rising and now nearly 300 shootings in total...So how many chainsaw deaths are there? Or suicides by knife? How many school massacres do you think would take place by chain saw?
Also funny is, Australia is not next to Mexico, one of the biggest illegal arms and drugs dealer that pours the stuff across the border! At would account for a lot of illegal guns and mental health now would it? Funny how that works out!
@@TheTheotherfoot well there are many other countries around the world and in the Caribbean etc with high gun violence rates.

What do you think? That the vast knowledge and skill base of the population who knows how to make guns from plastic, rods of steel, springs and blocks of aluminum are gonna just poof and disappear? All we would do is create a massive black market. You can't ban things that are highly prevalant and with strong cultural appeal. Those bans never work.
I love the bit where the Aussies walk away from her. It's like they're saying " This American chook is fukking crazy, but." I'd love to live in Australia, but for all the animals and insects that wanna kill. The most dangerous animal in the U.S. is the Americans. Period. Yes we have a knife crime problem here in Blighty, but it's easier to run away from a knife attack, than an M16. That said, I love both my American, and Australian cousins. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺💜
Semi automatics and automatics are illegal in Australia period. Handguns can be had if licensed and kept in a gun safe when not in use. Rifles can be had if registered and you have attended a gun safety course. Plenty of guns in Australia. Its incorrect to say american public has more guns than anywhere. For instance canade has more guns than america they just dont shoot each other.
Who was that long haired cooker ? Can immigration make sure she never comes to Australia. She interviewed Matt Granger who runs a Camera expert Vlog . He worked in NY and Sydney
Here is a fun one.. my granddaughter asked.. if America is free country? Why do you need to carry arms to protect yourself? Australia is a Free country, we have no Need to carry Guns.. to protect ourselves? you must have crappy neighbours.. In her words.. "What a Dump"
I havent tried to get a gun license in australia, but it seems pretty simply if you arent a criminal. Like I have shot at gun clubs, rifles and shot guns. Plenty of people there. I know plenty of people with guns who shoot for fun and competition So it doesnt seem like there is any real ban, just control.
We've had shootings almost daily by criminals this year, criminals have guns, 250,000 guns disappeared after the gun buy back, over a million shooters here in Oz and growing.
We share a similar culture to our cuzzies across the ditch and Ithink that a big difference between the US and NZ is the degree of violence in our societies. The US has nearly seven times the number of homicides per capita than here and we have a police service, not a police force. I spent seven years in law enforcement and never carried a gun nor did i feel the need for one. Horses for courses I guess. I still own over a dozen or so firearms, and shoot regularly, on ranges mostly, as my body won't handle hunting any more and yes, it's great fun but I don't want any nutter or someone with a John Wayne complex stuffing it up for me and my friends, so yes, I fully support gun control (licencing).
I have spoken with cops and teachers about how to protect our children. It a harder problem then you think. They don’t really want to arm teachers they can go nuts just like any one else. Cops at schools has it own problems to . Police officers see a fight they have to step in. That has legal and physical consequences. Now with what might have been a simple disciplinary action now can lead to jail time or worse cops don’t always control themselves well and stuff gets out of hand.
It's the internet, cell phones, no one speaks to anyone anymore. Gang violence drugs, the kids on Prozac THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS. A GUN IS JUST A TOOL, NOTHING HAPPENS UNLESS YOU PICK IT UP AND FIRE IT. YOU PEOPLE ARE cnn deranged. Our 2nd amendment is our safety of staying free, which most of the world is not. I can get arrested by using the wrong pronouns in Englandstand. Free my ass.
"Gun control is terrible"? Ok... So she'd prefer nutcases have guns? 😅 Ok... With how she asked questions but didn't want to hear the answers and how she turned it into a rant about visitors forcing their opinions on others - when it clearly shows her approach them 🤦♀️ My only conclusion by the end of the video, was she started to look like she could potentially fall under the "nutcase" umbrella! So I guess it makes sense that she would think that way 🤭
There are over 400 million gun . They say only one third of the country owns guns from surveys . I betteing that’s low. I know almost no one that would actually answer whether or not they own a gun. And never how many.
I don't get why people always say "2nd amendment, you can't put restrictions on me owning guns" when yes, the 2nd amendment states the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.. but it's already being infringed across numerous states and county's but you don't see these people protesting to change those unconstitutional laws. If the right wasn't to be infringed, then you'd be allowed to open carry in every state and not be harassed by law enforcement. Yet Florida for instance, you can only open carry while fishing, hunting or camping.. if the US citizens stood up for ALL their rights, and fought to have all the unconstitutional laws abolished, maybe then I'd take them seriously when they spout off 2nd amendment blah blah...
Funny thing is that the 2nd Amendment starts with "WELL REGULATED", gun laws are BUILT in to it already and NOT having them is actually breaking the amendment!
@@Ishlacorrin Well regulated by the people, not the federal government, problem is, the government buys off gun crime to promote their agenda, gun control!

That girl in the beginning shows the attitude problem that is the problem - you would hate to live in a place where nut jobs can’t get guns easily???? Obviously someone we wouldn’t want here anyway
I used to have a gun licence for work right??!. We are taught that there is 2 things are seen as a lethal weapon, a gun and a knife. You are allowed to shoot if presented with these threatening your life. Does not matter if the gun has no bullets in, how am I supposed to know if it's loaded, at that moment I'm thinking it is or you wouldn't be trying to hold me up right?!!. We treat and expect that ALL guns are loaded. A knife is actually more deadly/ lethal. As with a gun you can track where the bullet goes in your body. With a knife, being so long and slim and sharp you cannot see where the knife has travelled. You can't find every millimetre it has gone. The track doesn't present on x-ray and sometimes not even on MRI. A knife is actually bigger. A minimum of 1 inch of damage by how long the length of it is. People bleed more and sometimes unless its bleeding well you won't find it and die from a slow bleed which wasn't picked up.
A big reason why Australia is so friendly & laid back is cos we don't have a bill of rights & rampant gun possession. So we're not stressin' about being sued or being shot 😉

I just saw in the news that Washington has completely banned all assault rifles and 50 other types of guns, I actually cheered out loud and am genuinely happy for America that at least one of your states has finally taken the first step in catching up with the rest of the world with gun control. I believe that slowly over time this will spread across America and I do see a distant future for you guys where school/mass shootings are a thing of the past

@@LouisBilodeau-eh7rx It's a tool that can easily cause mass murder in seconds, like how the US has had 147 mass shootings so far in 2023, because your mentally ill are able to get guns so easily, so if you stop letting people get guns so easily then your mass shootings go down and less people at the grocery store and children in schools die, it's really simple stuff mate
Australia's system is fairly straightforward, and sensible. Owning a gun is still legal. Just not semi-auto's, or automatic, firearms are allowed. You have to have a valid reason for owning a gun. Hunting, Agricultural purposes, Target Shooting. Not just because you want one. You have to do a Firearms Safety test, before you get your licence. And your licence has conditions. Such as, for target shooting, belonging to a valid club, and doing so many attendances each year, and not just turning up, signing in, and going, actually shooting under the supervision of the club's Range Officer. Firearms must be locked up, and secured, at all times, with the ammunition kept under separate lock and key. Firearms must be transported, to and from the range, etc. with the bolt/firing mechanism separate. And the restrictions on hand guns is even harder. BUT, you can still buy, own, and shoot, guns, if you're serious about it, and do the right thing.
I love how Americans travel with one up the barrel waiting for an accident to happen as soon as there is a round up the spout / chamber the weapon is unsafe and a danger to all people around the shooter , have a round loaded is the best way to have a negligent misfire event and someone dying unless you are about to fire at what you want to hit.
Oz gun laws are good and most importantly, they work. Miss uninformed U.S.A. sure got it wrong, have a guess which country has more people moving to it from the U.S. than people moving from it to the U.S., yeah Australia (the only country on the planet to have that distinction, some U.S. citizens have worked it out.). Cheers Neal.
To get a gun in australia, all i did was go to the local gun shop, glossip st st marys, and said i want to buy a rifle but i dont have a licence, he said no worries and gave me a form to fill out with a number to call, i called the number and met the guy at his house and he showed me a brief gun safety talk and took the forms i filled out and said youl find out within 6 weeks if you get a licence, 6 weeks later i got the licence in the mail, so i can buy rifles and shotguns for hunting.. if i want a pistol i have to join a pistol shooting club then i can get that license too... Its not how the nra in america says it is.. its that easy... any aussie who disagrees with me has never attempted to get a licence or a gun.. dont believe the lies...
I paid $10, sat a gun safety course which went for 2 hours (watched a PowerPoint presentation then had to answer questions on a test) next day filled out a heap off forms including one asking what licensed i wanted and why and to provide proof - I provided letters from people that own rural property and a letter from a gun club. Sent all forms away with identification documents and the slip off paper saying I passed the test. 4 weeks later received an email from vicpol saying I had been approved and passed the background check so expect a letter within a few weeks, 3 weeks later I received a letter in the mail with a form with instructions and an amount that will be payable. Went into vicroads, handed them the form, got identification photo done and paid the $280 fee for my gun licence for 5 years.
I'm curious to know what state this was in. Because I don't know of a state or territory in Australia where, even if you have a valid license, the proof of purpose (proof you have a valid reason for purchasing), doesn't apply. I've had a firearms license (multiple classes), in 4 different states over the last 27 years and am a certified range officer at a national level. Could you elaborate?
To me Americans have the shoot and ask questions later attitude. Or the I'll shoot 1st before they get a chance to shoot me 1st. Yes, get rid of any automatic guns and licence all guns. No guns unless for a job, own more than 1 acre of land and belong to a shooting club with twice yearly essential testing. You don't pass or do the test you get the guns taken off you and gun licence cancelled.
@@timothyreel716 Look what Washington just did, they took the first step in catching up to the rest of the world with gun control, over time Washington's lead will hopefully spread to more states
We chose to take guns away. Our Government passed that law and started buying guns back in weeks. Most people here never wanted to see that happen again. It is not giving up our freedom if we agree and we know our children were safe anywhere. Last year we had a second gun buy back and no one was in trouble for not giving them up the first time. They hadn’t used those guns. That young woman is a fool. None of our children were afraid to go to school or had nightmares from learning drills. Any Government can change your Constitution. This was the first time all three Political parties worked together to change that law.

I don’t understand why this woman is arguing with the Australian people that she stopped when she’s the one that went up to them. She’s got the microphone in her hand so clearly she’s in control of who she approaches to answer her questions. And then she has the audacity to say “why would I go live there when I only care about America.” Perhaps she should do some research and get some etiquette if she’s going to do this type of interviewing with people. If that were me being interviewed, she would’ve felt my fist down her throat, and I’m not a violent woman.
I do understand why Americans dont want to give up their guns, if i lived in America i would carry a gun everywhere i went. But Americans also need to realise that not every country is like them😂 just because its unsafe without a gun in ur country doesnt mean its unsafe in my country 😂

I just moved out of California with strip gun laws matter of fact the strictest in the country and they have more gun related issues then the state I live now which is The most gun friendly state in the United States... Gun regulations gun laws don't work.
If the government is giving me permission to do something then it is no longer a right. Thats the difference, if they say you have to have a licence then whats to stop them from taking them away all together later down the line.
Spoiler Alert: The do. Try yelling "bomb" on a plane and see how quickly that _freedom of speech_ fades away. Defamation laws are a very real thing. Fox _News_ is finding that out the very hard way. So, "freedom of speech" is a right that has many caveats that the government controls for the greater good.
so we have no licences for nothing thats a good thing? i think thats called anarchy. ya drink n drive lose ur licence ur right to drive. a licensee serves underage drinkers ya lose it. i pretty sure thats called law and order. if u can come up with a fairer and better system i would be glad to here it. we saw or maybe u did not . unlicensed electricians installing pink batts . ya ppl died . unlicensed builders doing the bunk and so it goes on. license to fish . to carry a firearm, a society needs these measures to ensure safety. so unlicensed what does it mean? an unlicensed electrician was about to put probes on a live stove....................he may have died , but i would have tried all to save him . but instead i pulled him off . he realised the big mistake he made and went white. thats why we need all kinds of licenses. grow up
the stupidity of this is much deeper . my neighbour got a dodgy mechanic to pass his car for rego. no brakes . what a fuckwit , risked his kids lives . we almost came to blows but he realised what a fuckwit he was , yes i fixed his brakes . did it matter , to me it did . but he was oblivious. you can lead a horse to water but cant make it drink.

There are 20,000 laws on the books what do you want????????? The gun problem......is not a problem. There is a violence problem. I carry because I CAN.
The test applied in Australia is basically: what do you want to be able to shoot? If the answer is targets, pest animals, or game for eating, then you can get a (non-auto) gun, as long as you pass a background check, sit out a waiting period, and can prove you have safe storage for it. If your answer is: I want to be able to shoot *people* (even in self defence), then the answer is "no gun for you", and everyone is safer for it.
Best response I have seen to it before was: *"Americans are happy they have the right to carry guns for protection. Australians are happy they don't need them in the first place!"*
@@Ishlacorrin all they need is a chair and milk crate to sort out the killers. 😂
@@Ishlacorrin Yes! Freedom is not needed a gun.
Basically the same theory as the feminists, we don't need toxic men until the barbarians are at the door.
Idiocy. Criminals don't care about laws. You are not safer by not being able to protect yourself. Not only that, but you also let the criminals know you don't have guns. Good thing you let them know you're defenseless. Interesting how these mass shootings don't happen in areas where schools have armed security and citizens can legally carry. Your idealistic world of peace is great, but guns exist, thus the only real solution is to make sure that criminals don't dare to try anything for fear of their life. The only reason the government isn't out of hand is because the people have guns. I like not being forced into COVID quarantine camps. There are so many people who think getting a gun is easy but have never owned or shot one. There are gun safety classes and background checks involved. It's not an instantaneous process where you just swipe your card and walk out with a gun. The majority of gun deaths occur by pistol yet they only seem to want to ban "Assault weapons," a mythological category of weapons that don't exist. Gun control isn't about saving people, rather it is simply a means to more control.
That loony girl was going on about immigrants, those Aussies were probably tourists not immigrants, but she probably doesn't understand the difference, but she was also a perfect example of why the USA should have gun control.
They should also have birth control. And when that fails, how about a school system that works.
I swear all the dumb people are over breeding.
She was a perfect reason why the US should have stricter laws about crazy person control, yes I'm looking at you Trump.

I have grown up in Australia and the first I went to America for a holiday, my Dad told me to be careful of guns. I had never seen one. I thought he was being paranoid. I was 32 yrs old and went to New Orleans and there was shooting in the French Quarter where I was staying. I froze and called my dad. He told me to come home. I mean people can fight fairly face to face. You can't fight fairly with a bullet.
Australia has gun clubs everywhere where people can go to shoot if they want to go nuts. If they get a license they can go hunting on land where they get permission. What nobody can do without special licenses for guards and police is walk around in public with a damned gun .
Australians never have to worry about being shot at the shops, in clubs, at school. In our houses
Our guns are not for random criminals, they for our tyrannical government, the very people you think we need to give more control to. All shooting happen in gun free zones as well, not open carry!!

Gun ownership is similar (obviously not identical) to car ownership. Wonder how many Americans would support driving cars without passing a driving test, carrying a licence, roadworthiness testing or insurance?
Someone wanting a gun for sport shooting in Australia has to join a gun club? Wouldnt that constitute a " A WELL REGULATED MILITIA' Also?
You can have a gun but you have to be a member of this group where other responsible gun owners can teach you how to use it safely.
Why the hell would anyone want to live in a place like Australia a country that loves its children? Its far better to live in the USA where children are slaughtered on almost a daily basis.
America as a whole is to blame, Dont give me this shit about the NRA buying politicians, I blame all those Americans that could vote but dont.

Two questions for the interviewer

It's fairly straight forward to get a license for A&B Long-arms, and a bit harder to get a C class, which is usually acquired by professional shooters, but it does take a lot more time and quite a few more hoops to jump through for an H license, however it is a tad easier if you already have an A&B, or C License. The H License though is designed to ensure applicants are not only good folk and don't have a criminal history, but that they're patient, and dedicated as well. Anyone who isn't both patient and dedicated, won't get their hands on a Handgun, which makes for a much more calm and responsible owner. I attend my club nearly every weekend and one thing is certain, the members are all incredibly stand up citizens while essentially being the salt of the earth. Great atmosphere to be honest.
I SUPPORT gun control and what Australia has done is great. The reason is freedom is two not one. Number 1 is to live everyone has a right to live and yet do they have that right in the USA.
I love your reaction man, you understand the importance and the actual problem of owning a gun. Unfortunately for Americans it’s written in your constitution, and therefore that’s your biggest problem. But your government is completely controlled by the gun lobby… 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🤨😉🤔
😂🤣😂🤣
I wanted a gun for protection, for the "just in case" scenario, but then I realised that in the heat of the moment mistakes can be made that can't be taken back and changed my mind about even trying to get the licence and all the other requirements it'd take to own a gun here in Australia. I don't like how the government literally played Big Brother to citizens in a democratic nation, but I understood why they did it; and if it stops innocent people from being murdered then I'm ok with our gun control laws.
Your government is obviously very different from ours. They don't want to regulate guns to stop crime, they want to know where ever legal fire arm in America is they take them away from ALL citizens so they can take away ALL private property!

It's honestly not even that hard to get a gun. You need to complete a safety course, you need to have secure storage for the guns, you need to get the appropriate license for the guns and of course maintain your license. It is a level of inconvenience and waiting that weeds out dickheads though. Nobody buying guns on a whim and nobody buying them with the hope they'll "have to" defend themselves and kill somebody.

AUSTRALIA DID THE RIGHT THING. THANKS JOHNNY HOWARD, YOU HAD BALLS AND OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFER.❤❤
We learned from a mass shooting that day, we put people's lives before ownership of guns. At least children can go to school without fear of being shot at, can't understand why American prefer guns over children.
Thats a false dichotomy. Very illogical. It's not guns over people or children.
We prefer to retain our gun ownership rights over being sent to prison vs being subjected to violent hoards of criminals and psychopaths.
Because here in America gun control won't = putting peoples lives before gun control.
Due to our social and cultural dynamics, gun control here will cost more lives than it saves. Have you not heard about the violent nature of our law enforcement?
Fun fact for you, law enforcement here kills 2-3 times more people EVERY YR than ALL rifles combined. That includes AR15s, AK47s etc. Cops kill more.
Additionally, we have a large population of rebelious violent thugs who wont follow any laws, and police are largely afraid to deal with. Yall don't have that problem in Australia.
That New York/London statistic isn’t actually true…. In 2022 in London there were 106 murders,62 were stabbings,in the same year in NYC there were 433 murders,73 of which were stabbings. So whichever way you look at it NYC has 4x’s the murder rate and a higher knife death rate.
Where did get your stats? CNN?
The London stats are all from people that cannot be mentioned. Immigrants
They were specific, they said shall not be infringed. Which means no restrictions at all. They wanted people to defend themselves against all of our personal and as a group enemies!

We share a similar culture to our cuzzies across the ditch and Ithink that a big difference between the US and NZ is the degree of violence in our societies.
The US has nearly seven times the number of homicides per capita than here and we have a police service, not a police force. I spent seven years in law enforcement and never carried a gun nor did i feel the need for one. Horses for courses I guess. I still own over a dozen or so firearms, and shoot regularly, on ranges mostly, as my body won't handle hunting any more and yes, it's great fun but I don't want any nutter or someone with a John Wayne complex stuffing it up for me and my friends, so yes, I fully support gun control (licencing).
Your nuts you watch too much government controlled bbc and cnn
I have spoken with cops and teachers about how to protect our children. It a harder problem then you think. They don’t really want to arm teachers they can go nuts just like any one else. Cops at schools has it own problems to . Police officers see a fight they have to step in. That has legal and physical consequences. Now with what might have been a simple disciplinary action now can lead to jail time or worse cops don’t always control themselves well and stuff gets out of hand.
It's the internet, cell phones, no one speaks to anyone anymore. Gang violence drugs, the kids on Prozac THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS.

I don't get why people always say "2nd amendment, you can't put restrictions on me owning guns" when yes, the 2nd amendment states the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.. but it's already being infringed across numerous states and county's but you don't see these people protesting to change those unconstitutional laws. If the right wasn't to be infringed, then you'd be allowed to open carry in every state and not be harassed by law enforcement. Yet Florida for instance, you can only open carry while fishing, hunting or camping.. if the US citizens stood up for ALL their rights, and fought to have all the unconstitutional laws abolished, maybe then I'd take them seriously when they spout off 2nd amendment blah blah...

I used to have a gun licence for work right??!. We are taught that there is 2 things are seen as a lethal weapon, a gun and a knife. You are allowed to shoot if presented with these threatening your life. Does not matter if the gun has no bullets in, how am I supposed to know if it's loaded, at that moment I'm thinking it is or you wouldn't be trying to hold me up right?!!. We treat and expect that ALL guns are loaded. A knife is actually more deadly/ lethal. As with a gun you can track where the bullet goes in your body. With a knife, being so long and slim and sharp you cannot see where the knife has travelled. You can't find every millimetre it has gone. The track doesn't present on x-ray and sometimes not even on MRI. A knife is actually bigger. A minimum of 1 inch of damage by how long the length of it is. People bleed more and sometimes unless its bleeding well you won't find it and die from a slow bleed which wasn't picked up.
Australia got it right
She is a natural blonde! 😂🤦♂️
Hey!!!! No funny! ( from a blonde ) 😂
Read about Alannah and Madeline at Port Arthur and then try to tell me why you don’t need/want gun control.
Sigh. Conspiracy theorists are like slugs; they come out from under rocks and make a mess.
A big reason why Australia is so friendly & laid back is cos we don't have a bill of rights & rampant gun possession. So we're not stressin' about being sued or being shot 😉
You are not free either.
@@nitewatchman1576 Mate, I'm as free as free can possibly be. I mean there is an obvious paradox to freedom where in order to have a freedom you must first give up a freedom. But I live in a county full of opportunities, surrounded by good people, healthcare, education, basic amenities etc etc etc - in fact we have MORE than enough available AND we live in a beautiful tropical paradise alongside some of the most spectacular wildlife in the world. & If in order to enjoy these luxuries & freedoms, all we have to do is abide by some pretty basic civil responsibilities like paying taxes, abiding by laws designed to prevent wrongdoings against myself & my fellow man & an assortment of other restraints that are necessary to maintain our beautiful society - mate, I'm more than happy to oblige 😁👍 & I'm free to object & free to make changes if I want to. NO society is 100% perfect, but I'm grateful to live in one that is pretty damn close. & it's as free as free can possibly be - so tell me where I'm wrong?
I just saw in the news that Washington has completely banned all assault rifles and 50 other types of guns, I actually cheered out loud and am genuinely happy for America that at least one of your states has finally taken the first step in catching up with the rest of the world with gun control. I believe that slowly over time this will spread across America and I do see a distant future for you guys where school/mass shootings are a thing of the past
U mean the law that defies a ruling already made by the supreme court? Dead on arrival in the house. Not to mention sheriff's everywhere refuse to enforce it.
U see the world lately. Rioting looting everywhere.
We in America refuse to be defenseless so u can feel safe.
The problem is mental health. Instead of trying to fix that. We are busy blaming a tool.
@@LouisBilodeau-eh7rx It's a tool that can easily cause mass murder in seconds, like how the US has had 147 mass shootings so far in 2023, because your mentally ill are able to get guns so easily, so if you stop letting people get guns so easily then your mass shootings go down and less people at the grocery store and children in schools die, it's really simple stuff mate
Black people need guns to protect ourselves. Everybody hate us, please dont take our guns.
@gapthescene9643 Mentally ill people aren't the majority of "mass shootings," black gangbangers are.
Australia's system is fairly straightforward, and sensible. Owning a gun is still legal. Just not semi-auto's, or automatic, firearms are allowed. You have to have a valid reason for owning a gun. Hunting, Agricultural purposes, Target Shooting. Not just because you want one. You have to do a Firearms Safety test, before you get your licence. And your licence has conditions. Such as, for target shooting, belonging to a valid club, and doing so many attendances each year, and not just turning up, signing in, and going, actually shooting under the supervision of the club's Range Officer. Firearms must be locked up, and secured, at all times, with the ammunition kept under separate lock and key. Firearms must be transported, to and from the range, etc. with the bolt/firing mechanism separate. And the restrictions on hand guns is even harder. BUT, you can still buy, own, and shoot, guns, if you're serious about it, and do the right thing.
We have a valid reason, " The Government"!
I love how Americans travel with one up the barrel waiting for an accident to happen as soon as there is a round up the spout / chamber the weapon is unsafe and a danger to all people around the shooter , have a round loaded is the best way to have a negligent misfire event and someone dying unless you are about to fire at what you want to hit.
@@systemsrenegade9888you know nothing
My idea of gun control is to use both hands.
The only problem is that you can still get guns illegally. Meaning there's no way of tracing it unless they are actually caught with it.
Most states in the U.S. also require licenses, documentation, and background checks.
and that does no work.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 neither will banning guns work here either
@@rehsa-zc6zq I know. You have too many red necks.
Oz gun laws are good and most importantly, they work. Miss uninformed U.S.A. sure got it wrong, have a guess which country has more people moving to it from the U.S. than people moving from it to the U.S., yeah Australia (the only country on the planet to have that distinction, some U.S. citizens have worked it out.). Cheers Neal.
Glad someone else knows this 🤣🤣🤣
Ha, just about every country claims that!🤣🤣
To get a gun in australia, all i did was go to the local gun shop, glossip st st marys, and said i want to buy a rifle but i dont have a licence, he said no worries and gave me a form to fill out with a number to call, i called the number and met the guy at his house and he showed me a brief gun safety talk and took the forms i filled out and said youl find out within 6 weeks if you get a licence, 6 weeks later i got the licence in the mail, so i can buy rifles and shotguns for hunting.. if i want a pistol i have to join a pistol shooting club then i can get that license too...
Its not how the nra in america says it is.. its that easy... any aussie who disagrees with me has never attempted to get a licence or a gun.. dont believe the lies...
I paid $10, sat a gun safety course which went for 2 hours (watched a PowerPoint presentation then had to answer questions on a test) next day filled out a heap off forms including one asking what licensed i wanted and why and to provide proof - I provided letters from people that own rural property and a letter from a gun club. Sent all forms away with identification documents and the slip off paper saying I passed the test. 4 weeks later received an email from vicpol saying I had been approved and passed the background check so expect a letter within a few weeks, 3 weeks later I received a letter in the mail with a form with instructions and an amount that will be payable. Went into vicroads, handed them the form, got identification photo done and paid the $280 fee for my gun licence for 5 years.
I'm curious to know what state this was in. Because I don't know of a state or territory in Australia where, even if you have a valid license, the proof of purpose (proof you have a valid reason for purchasing), doesn't apply.
I've had a firearms license (multiple classes), in 4 different states over the last 27 years and am a certified range officer at a national level.
Could you elaborate?
@@adriandavies4787 ive read your sentece 3 times, you have severe dementia and arent making any sense..
The crims still have these guns the incident handed in their guns not the the crims
To me Americans have the shoot and ask questions later attitude. Or the I'll shoot 1st before they get a chance to shoot me 1st. Yes, get rid of any automatic guns and licence all guns. No guns unless for a job, own more than 1 acre of land and belong to a shooting club with twice yearly essential testing. You don't pass or do the test you get the guns taken off you and gun licence cancelled.
Worry about your own country, if you come here and start touting gun control, then you will get shot!
@@rookere1604 And now you can tell us how to fix it I assume?
@@timothyreel716 Look what Washington just did, they took the first step in catching up to the rest of the world with gun control, over time Washington's lead will hopefully spread to more states
@@rookere1604 Yeah, & if they try in the rest of the country, there will be a civil war, & I highly emphasize the word "try"!
law of the land the land like it or leave it, keep your rights or lose them forever im Australian
We chose to take guns away. Our Government passed that law and started buying guns back in weeks. Most people here never wanted to see that happen again. It is not giving up our freedom if we agree and we know our children were safe anywhere. Last year we had a second gun buy back and no one was in trouble for not giving them up the first time. They hadn’t used those guns.
That young woman is a fool. None of our children were afraid to go to school or had nightmares from learning drills. Any Government can change your Constitution. This was the first time all three Political parties worked together to change that law.

I don't give a shit. You can disarm yourself, but don't expect others to do the same.
I normally agree with Kaitlyn but sorry girl I’m not on your side regarding this issue. Why do you need a gun for self defence? In Australia we have something called words. We use our words to combat conflict. Australia is truly the land of the free.
Also we don’t have armed guards in schools, I really don’t know how US can live in such fear
Next time I see a video of hers I will click the three dots to the right,
and then click "DO NOT RECOMMENT THIS CHANNEL"!
I have allready done it with FOX and others so they will loose commersial money if many do like me.
"That's terrible! I don't want to live there!"
Probably couldn't get one, being a nutcase.
Also, we don't want her, anyway
The young ones don't need guns these days their weapon of choice 2day is knives
So good to finally hear an American who agrees that gun licenses reduce gun violence. The Australian statistics speak for themselves.
So does the government control!!
@@timothyreel716 Australia outranks the US in EVERY freedon index, so try again :D
I don’t understand why this woman is arguing with the Australian people that she stopped when she’s the one that went up to them. She’s got the microphone in her hand so clearly she’s in control of who she approaches to answer her questions. And then she has the audacity to say “why would I go live there when I only care about America.” Perhaps she should do some research and get some etiquette if she’s going to do this type of interviewing with people. If that were me being interviewed, she would’ve felt my fist down her throat, and I’m not a violent woman.
I’m just grateful she doesn’t want to go to Australia.
I do understand why Americans dont want to give up their guns, if i lived in America i would carry a gun everywhere i went. But Americans also need to realise that not every country is like them😂 just because its unsafe without a gun in ur country doesnt mean its unsafe in my country 😂
Australian Registered Shooters (Roo, Pig etc.) need one shot to take a target. Not a Full-Auto AR-15 that hits every civilian except the target he is kind of aiming at! One shot
Full auto AR15s don't exist. There been banned for a long time. Long before proliferation began.
Buyback didn't work.
i love shooting clay targets, but i cant shoot a live animal for the sake of it. also I'm on antidepressants, so i wont have a gun in my house.
Im all for firearm training in schools
I just moved out of California with strip gun laws matter of fact the strictest in the country and they have more gun related issues then the state I live now which is The most gun friendly state in the United States... Gun regulations gun laws don't work.
If the government is giving me permission to do something then it is no longer a right. Thats the difference, if they say you have to have a licence then whats to stop them from taking them away all together later down the line.
Does the Government give you "permission" for freedom of speech?
Spoiler Alert: The do. Try yelling "bomb" on a plane and see how quickly that _freedom of speech_ fades away. Defamation laws are a very real thing. Fox _News_ is finding that out the very hard way. So, "freedom of speech" is a right that has many caveats that the government controls for the greater good.
Try driving a car without a licence, explain that to the cops when they pull you over. Of course licences are needed
so we have no licences for nothing thats a good thing? i think thats called anarchy. ya drink n drive lose ur licence ur right to drive. a licensee serves underage drinkers ya lose it. i pretty sure thats called law and order. if u can come up with a fairer and better system i would be glad to here it. we saw or maybe u did not . unlicensed electricians installing pink batts . ya ppl died . unlicensed builders doing the bunk and so it goes on. license to fish . to carry a firearm, a society needs these measures to ensure safety. so unlicensed what does it mean? an unlicensed electrician was about to put probes on a live stove....................he may have died , but i would have tried all to save him . but instead i pulled him off . he realised the big mistake he made and went white. thats why we need all kinds of licenses. grow up
the stupidity of this is much deeper . my neighbour got a dodgy mechanic to pass his car for rego. no brakes . what a fuckwit , risked his kids lives . we almost came to blows but he realised what a fuckwit he was , yes i fixed his brakes . did it matter , to me it did . but he was oblivious. you can lead a horse to water but cant make it drink.
You can modify it… it’s called an amendment 🧐🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔
They don't have the votes or social support for that, hence the constant culture war and propaganda against 2A.
American, a rapidly declining idea.
Lol, you can hear the antidepressants in her ... no she shouldnt have acces to a gun with such severe mental instabilities..😂
Great idea, as she doesn't have access to a brain.
I would also say you go try getting a gun then come back and say should be harder also i have multiple i built ;)
When i go to work i wanna see people barely of age pull me up and rob me with automatic weapons if they shoot me thats even better
America a place where you you die trying to make your dreams come true 😂
If Australian police come to take your guns ... they will most likely take you as well.. and you be home in 2 to 5 years.
🤣🤣
Don't touch the guns.
