Most Americans have a passion for guns.
Most Australians have a passion for hating guns.
Most Aussies have never held or even seen a gun that wasn't on a cops holster and most have never even heard a real gun shot. There have been No massacres in Australia since our harsh gun control in 1996. And From 2013-2018 there were only 22 police officers in the whole country that were killed by gunshot on the job. These are just a few reasons behind Australias very strong hatred and negative views on guns.
Coming from the land, I don’t have a hatred of guns.
I have a hatred of guns in the wrong hands.
Our regulations work here, no doubt about it & I think they would work in the United States if the everyday person actually knew what regulations we had, but it all gets shouted down with misinformation. 🤷🏼♀️
I agree with you completely mate, even though I am a former soldier and did enjoy shooting in the past.
You must be from the city.
@@tonysambar Yes I am, I'm also in the less than 96% of Australians that don't own a registered a firearm. It's 3.41 registered gun owners out of every 100. And I'm Pretty sure there is a lot less than 96% of Australians living in the cities.
@@Reneesillycar74 I agree. My friends on farms all have guns, but the regulations and licencing is different. I don't know why anyone would object to having background checks and some kind of licence.
As Jim Jefferies said, "You just brought a gun to a drone fight."
So in Australia guns are legal. They're not banned. What they are is regulated. Now it slightly varies state to state because we are a federation but basically you need to get a licence. To do this you need to undertake a firearm safety course. There are different weapon categories. You need the correct licence. You need to get a permit to acquire a firearm. This will be checked against your licence, your reasons stated for wanting the firearm and a bunch of other things. Once you then get the permit you can get the firearm. It then has to be stored. This is like a safe, a vault, etc. Not under your pillow. If you can get the licence and permit for it you can get an AR-15. However, you need what is seen as a legitimate reason. For something like an AR-15 that's going to be a professional shooter for animal pest control.
you can’t get at-15s here.
@@Ilych367 You're wrong. I have a friend with one. Professional shooter.
@@Ilych367 you can get most things. It just depends on why and how you need to license and store it and how much ammo can be purchased etc.
@@RandomStuff-he7lu you need a D Cat license and even then they can be semi auto only, getting a D cat license is really hard, you need to prove its your source of income every year and then to be able to use it not on your own property there are even more regulations.
gun collectors can also own D cat guns but they cant be functional.
@@comeatmebro3229 Yes, that's what I said.
Even though I am a former Australian soldier and did enjoy shooting in the past, I no longer own any guns as I don't feel the need. I have always thought that the only place for automatic weapons is the military. No-one needs an AR-15 for home defence, not even on farms where a shotgun or bolt action rifle would suffice as a work tool and not a toy. There are actually many more guns here now than before the buyback in 1996 but there are no semi or fully automatics in individuals hands. Although there are unregistered firearms in the hands of criminals like every country.
Thanks for your service mate
Who dares wins😏
That’s why y’all still aren’t off lockdown and your government can control your every move
What is this loop hole where guy's are getting AR-10 for "pest control"?! What pests...trying to start another emu war or something? Or is it cocky's? Sounds absolutely ridiculous imo!
@@pascalswager9100 Feral animal control in Australia sometimes needs to be done in large numbers, quite often from helicopters. Or quickly and quietly in the case of culling roos or camels or pigs. These shooters are professionals not hyped up cowboys on a bender.
As I am an Australian I have used pistols and revolvers at a gun place and I didn't need a licence but I was supervised and I had a bit of fun so I can definately see how you Americans like them But in saying that I would not lose a iota of sleep or a tear if guns never existed. I love you guys and your reactions keep it up mate.
I want to go to the range near my house and have a supervised shoot but everyone I talk to there is about getting a license and buying a gun but I don't want the cops to be able to enter my house once a year without a warrant and check everything is stored properly, especially because run a business with kids involved and I don't want them to be scared of the cops barging in and making the kids think that cops are bad people. Really, if I want to shoot, I go to America.
Interesting fact, there are more guns in Australia before gun control was put in place. It’s just regulated who has one and what for. Gun control is not necessarily gun elimination.
Of course there was before gun control. Don’t you mean after?
population growth explains a lot of it.
Bro, defend ur country
@@oxfordblocksaustralia-dape7170 no he doesn’t
@@julesmasseffectmusic even if Australia had the same amount of people as America there would still be more school shootings and shit in America
The everyone has a gun argument is like saying shark attacks are at record highs, so everyone gets a shark to defend yourself from other sharks
everyone should have a porpoise in life.
Sounds legit. Where do I get my shark
I’m assuming you might already know but I know a lot of Americans don’t. It’s not hard to get a gun in Australia. Bolt action rifles and shotguns are pretty easy. You can even own them under 18. It’s really not that hard to buy AR15’s, it’s just lots of paperwork and money.
But the difference is they are all individually registered by serial number and the owner needs to obtain a licence to keep them.
And they also need to be kept locked in a proper gun safe when not in use.
So we “didn’t give up our guns” like a lot of Americans think. It’s just if something goes wrong it’s a lot easier to find the problem and much less likely for crazy people to have them.
Plus you would also have regular inspections by the police to make sure its still safely stored and properly licenced
@@tK-be6ns owned guns since i turned 18, never had an inspection
@@trapper9998 Never given them a reason to inspect you. They do perform inspections though if given a reason to suspect you for anything. Generally though as a regular gun owner you're not going to have to worry about it because you've got nothing to hide.. If you find yourself having a continual police presence in or around your home you're probably going to have more than gun safety to worry about.. 😂
No
Not that hard, it’s basically illegal to get an AR15, and it’s still even difficult to get a handgun
I still remember when most of us haded in our guns after port Arthur we just decided enough was enough and welcomed the laws to regulate.
And was only the city shitters who didn't need them and was the biggest mistake to this day...
port massacre was a trajedy
True but so was all the wars, every massacre, 911 every tragedy that's why it's called a tragedy, didn't need to because of one crazy guy yearrrs ago, but a question "how many massacres happened in Port before that one?"
@@lanceisaac8968 zero previous massacres in "Port" before that one. But that's all that was needed, was one massacre in "Port" for enough to be enough and didn't want it to happen again. Imagine if after the Texas Uni tower shooting in 1966, the country implemented gun legislation like Australia's. How many lives would have been saved since then. How many less mass shootings would have occurred.
@@lanceisaac8968 We had quite a few spree shootings before Port Arthur, from 1990-1996 alone there was Surry hills, Straithfield, Terrigal, Cangai, Hill Crest and Port Arthur. Port Arthur was by far Our worst with 35 killed. That was the last though, due to the new laws.
Love all of these Australia reactions
I was once held up at work by a guy holding a plastic gun. I told him to piss off and put some effort into his scam. I knew I was safe because in Australia the likelihood of him having a real gun was virtually nonexistent. He ran away without any money. If I lived in USA, no way I would sass anyone, and the till would be empty all the time.
if you lived in USA, you either have the lamest death or the coolest death. In between you find R.M.I
Jellyfish are an important food for many fish and sea turtles
On the gun thing i think you should need a license and background checks as you do for driving a car!
yeah i think that is why turtles and dolphins eat so many plastic bags, they think its a tasty jellyfish
@@whatwhatinthewhat4400 yes your right they mistake plastic bags for jellyfish
We do need a license and the background checks are way stricter than driving a car.
You REALLY need to watch Jim Jefferies' video on gun control but like that whole thing cause its sooooo true!
I'm pretty sure Aussie farmers can cull kangaroos and other pests from helicopters too. Camels, emus, dingos (perhaps), bush pigs, etc.
Also, loving that you say emu correctly *thumbs up*
They are not pets
The Australian sea turtle actually eats box jellyfish.
Scientists still havnt figered out how.
Look at the second word you typed. there is your answer.
They do wild hog, deer hunting from helicopters in Australia too. Australia has more wild hog then the US.
Don't forget the Water Buffalo.
@@Notric Also the fuckin camels.. 🤣🤣
feral pigs. The worst thing to encounter as a teenager in the bush. Snakes are a breeze to handle.
Check out Ozzy ma reviews magpies. Gives you a rough idea about our Maggies, lol
Thought I recognised the voice
In Australia you can still have a gun for things like farming, hunting, sport shooting. All of which are registered. We don't have full Automatic guns. 99% of the population do not have a gun. We don't need one and we are not scared of someone shooting us because we know they don't carry a gun. In America it seems a lot of people carry because they need to protect themselves from other people with guns. Allowing people to carry is just insane. Might as well give a grenade to a baby at child care.. WHat would i know though, im from another country.
A lot of Americans can’t seem to grasp the point of gun regulation. If you aren’t getting shot you don’t need to shoot back.
The c word here in Australia doesn't mean the same thing in the us
Yes many Australians talk like that with friends. We use a lot of humour. We had a massacre and the government band and collecting. We get 10 free Psycologist sessions a year if needed funded through the healthcare system. We never had them so I suppose we see the other side. I have a friend in the US and she is for guns now. Love your perspective
Just had this video come up on my home page, and as an Australian I’ve just begun binge watching all your videos reacting to Australian things 😂😂😂😂
The biggest underlying message I get from this is the final line of the song: *What do I know? I'm from another country*
Its highly likely this video was done in response to people from around the world (mostly the USA) describing other countries (mostly Australia) with very little depth, and in a few cases incredibly inaccurate or even false information
i took it to be more about how people from the usa would often not listen to other countries because "youre from a different country so what do you understand". in the context of the video you can tell that its a sarcastic statement
When my kids came home from school singing this was a moment of Aussie Pride for me, regardless of the swearing!
I’m an Australian and so is my dad, he goes shooting with my friends dad every Sunday and hits clay target things. And we have a gun in our garage, soooo
:)
Jelly fish are just food for sea turtles and other fish that are immune to their sting.
They ear jelly fish in China I have read
Actually when big clusters of jellyfish die it's a massive source of "marine snow" for deep sea animals.
I really do enjoy the banter between you guys.
Australia has 24 million wild pigs according to google. We hunt too. Lots of us own guns. I think it’s the attitude around them. Like you said the Australian dads were horrified but the way some guys spoke about deadly weapons. Our kids are taught they aren’t toys. Not to touch them. We lock them up. We have licenses. Different culture around the whole gun thing
yeah we are only allowed hunting rifles and only if you own farmland, have a clean record, a license and no mental issues. even then you cant take them into densly populated areas
Ok boys...Jim Jefferies gun control reaction next so you can continue this discussion.
In Australia we do wild pig shooting too and we do it with Bolt actions most the time. We can have semi-auto too if you can prove its necessary for work or animal control but you will be checked out first to confirm you need it. This video is awesome and does a great job of pointing out how effective Australian gun control is and ironically it's American. czcams.com/video/A0FLsIzNxkI/video.html
I think you have watched the Tasmanian video? anyway, there is a place there called Port Arthur, there we had what was the worse mass shooting in the world at the time. Following our Prime Minister at the time, acted quickly and moved to a have our constitution changed about gun ownership here, we had a amnesty where hundreds of thousands of guns were returned, destroyed and even though that party was not who I vote for, I think it was the best thing they ever did. There are guns here, but we don't have the regular mass shootings that you have in the US, we also have a much better health system than the US does. We are not perfect, but I do think we have it more right than wrong
I used to scuba dive on reefs for crayfish, yes the odd blue ring would be there somewhere hiding in a crevice or hole but they're chill if you leave them alone. I had one octupus grab my flipper and was curious enough to come out of hiding and crawl around my swim fin then went back to the reef and flashed his colours and blended with the surrounds, just the blue rings were visible enough to see him or her. As for their size, yes they are a small octupus but can get big enough to cover you whole hand. The blue ring octupus is actually a very pretty (in colours) animal, they have some very vivid colurs, especially the blue.
"Did they take it, Jo?"
"Jo...?"
Bloody love it.
Yes, this is total burn. Port Arthur was the last mass shooting in Australia and was the reason that new laws into place.
Sadly, to put it in context, when was the last mass shooting in America VERSUS when was the last one reported?
Jellyfish is the turtle's main food
Most aussies are not particularly concerned about the venomous and poisonous creatures because they pretty much all leave you alone if you leave them alone. Magpies (the black & white bird) are notorious for swooping attacks on people during their nesting/breeding season in the springtime. It's a protective instinct but they just keep coming at ya when you're too close to their nest. The rest of the year they're pretty benign and can even be quite friendly. It's legal to own a gun in Australia but the background checking, licensing and registration, and permitted types of weapons are pretty strongly regulated. Penalties are harsh and you can't just buy one because you feel like it. For example in New South Wales the penalty for possessing an unregistered gun is 5 years prison, and 14 years prison if it's both unregistered and also a prohibited weapon or handgun. The vast majority of the population in surveys and polls supports these restrictions.
You cannot imagine how funny it is to see a seven year old screaming on a scooter while a magpie chases them down the street
I searched up what jellyfish do in the environment and it basically said that they are food for a bunch of marine animals……
They murder everything that touches their tentacles apart from those creatures that have adapted to eat them with no poisoning. Fish often get caught in their tentacles and die in seconds. Those big sea turtles eat the fk out of them
There are specifically evolved to eat jellyfish (a lot of turtles for example) so that would be a big deal for those animals and also currents can often create great die offs of jellyfish as they get pushed together and eat a the food in the area. Those die offs are CRUCIAL for deep sea animals as a source of food
We forgot about the blue bottle jellyfish which I got stung by
Definitely recommend Jim Jeffries gun control comedy performance. Very funny and drives home some good points
We have wild pigs here too Australia that is that we use guns on and there are plenty of videos on the shooting of them on private property. Look at ‘102 hogs down in one night’
As an Australian the song is singing straight up fax
What do jellyfish do for the eco system?.
in short jellyfish are a vital food source for the green sea turtle...
As of April 2021, Australian civilians now own more than 3.5 million registered firearms, an average of four each to licensed gun owners. There is more registered guns than most Australians believe. The regulations that were implemented in 1996 restricted most gun owners from having auto or semi-auto rifles, pump action shotguns, hand guns and limiting the amount of rounds allowed in magazines in rifles. It is very easy to get a license for target shooting or hunting or to use a shotgun. There is a background check, safety course as well as wait periods for buying guns. That is all it is. If you need a semi-auto for hunting, you need to find a new sport.
U need to qualify what u r saying… 3.5 million registered firearms, an average of 4 each to licensed gun owners. Australia has 26 million people so a small minority have an absurdly crazy amount of guns. Sure some maybe farmers but others are just plain crazy. The only good thing John Howard ever did….
There's only one question you need to think about. first how many school shootings in Australia. now how many school shootings in America just something to think about
All I want to say as an Australian is that it’s a sad state of affairs in the USA that my son in Australia doesn’t know what a school shooter is & yours have to have drills on what to do if one shows up. Saddest thing I ever heard of.
A 5 mth old baby girl died in Brisbane a couple of days ago after a a magpie attacked her mother and the mother fell and the baby died from her injuries in the fall
That’s good for you because I’m Australian and I speak Australian
You can get a lisence to hunt ferral populations in Australia, you can hunt ferral: Pigs, camels etc even from a helicopter in remote locations. You just have to go through the correct legal channels, keep your gun registered and stored correctly. Is that too much to ask?
As a fellow Australian we do have guns, I own a gun, it’s just we can’t have fully automatic weapons that’s all, so we have semi auto, bolt action and lever action so on
lol hogs, you need to watch Razorback, 80's movie. pigs in oz are huuuge kinda the goldfish priciple
Haha magpies are extremely vicious during spring! Nasty buggers
Magpies, large birds that have a habit of protecting their patch by swooping on people and can draw blood and split skin. The sound of their beak snapping shut behind your ear will turn anyone into a quivering mess of fear. However we have 2 wild magpies who I whistle to every morning and they fly up to our house and I hand feed them and they have never swooped us. When they have their brood they will bring them up to meet us and we end up with about 4 to 5 plus about 6 Butcher Birds which as a smaller version of the Magpie. Our birds are so good that if I sleep in they come into the house, sit on the kitchen bench and sing to me until I get up and feed them. Great birds but can be bloody dangerous if they suspect you are too near their nest, ask any postman on his motorbike.
"what is a jellyfish"
Me: walks away from screen...
As an Australian and from the comments I've seen from this growing up I never saw or held a gun and the only time I have actually seen one was visiting a friend in the US and honestly it's such a weird concept to understand having a gun living in a city (as in if you are a farmer I can see the need). Growing up in Australia attending school none of the 9 school I attended (we moved around alot because of my dad's work) had metal detectors or security guards because we don't have school shootings. The irony of saying that is one of my high schools in Hobart was across the road from where Martin Bryant lived. We do have dangerous spiders but let's be real those of us that grew up in the city rarely see dangerous ones. But explaining to non Aussies things like if you kill a cockroach make sure you clean up fast the eggs are in its back, mosquito bites well its summer we all get them at some point we just learn to deal and when you get sunburnt during summer and let's be real we all do at least once in summer we use aloe vera, wet towels if it's that bad, no clothing that makes you itch and say we learn the lesson never again but we know it will happen again...
Some or most of us (aussies) save the c word for very special occasions. It is not a word, to my knowledge, that is used everyday.
yeah mate we had one massacre and the prime ministers banned guns. havent had one since
Depends on which study you look into but it is widely believed that bix jellyfish have the deadliest venom in the world. I honestly don't think it would be detrimental to the environment if they died out like bees, but an interesting fact about jellyfish is that they are pretty much immortal. If they aren't eaten or killed in some random way, they will live forever. I'm new to the channel but loving it already.
‘ What is a jellyfish?’
Me: wha- did I you fail school or something?
I used to serve in the military. Guess what was the most effective deterrent to criminal attack? Blank ammunition... the sound and flash would scare the hell out of anyone.
We still have guns in Australia. We have the same pig problem in a lot of places. Basically the exact same situation except the guns we use are normally bolt action scoped 223, 243 or 22-250 5 shot rifles that do the same job, but noone dies.
Everyone I know has been swooped by a magpie but only a couple I know have been injured. Sadly one was my grandson.
As someone who has seen plenty of magpies I was surprised you have not seen one
If there were no Jellyfish in the world there would be nothing for turtles to eat. So there would be no turtles without them, but the said thing is that turtles are know mistaking rubbish bags as jellyfish and this is killing them 😥.
If you need an automatic weapon for hunting you should probably look for a new hobby
The jellyfish is the main food of the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle so if jellyfish went extinct so would our beloved sea turtles (from Sydney australia)
Love you guys lol from Australia
In Australia the C word is a mate that's more than a good close friend. They are closer than family and the best mate. Mate is used for an Aquaintence
Jim Jeffries - Gun Control (part 1 & 2)
An Australian’s Perspective and bloody funny.
yay Australian stuff i feel so proud to be Aussie
Lazarbeem is the sicopaphic teen
“What is a jellyfish?” Hahahahahhaah
A magpie is the Australian equivalent of a Stuka bomber
And talking about texas, today's unfortunate events make it even more sad and true
Like u said..
I'm Aussie and the song is popping up everywhere on CZcams for me
Ok, whoever told u that we dont swear or say the c word or talk like the vid did is clearly from melbourne Adelaide or Sydney. Places where the animals and hazards mentioned in this video exist. The rest of Australia primarily talks like what was shown in the other vid because we are the beat part of Australia
Every animal is important, when one animals is extinct another animal is affected, one example was when wolfs were removes in yellow stone national park I believe, the herbivore's ate all the vegetation causing erosion and land slides. Jellyfish is food for some animals also they do eat, they have stingers to kill their pray. There are many species of mosquitoes not all of them suck blood and be annoying. Some pollinates plants like bees and butterflies.
The part after the reaction was the best
Half of the mosquitoes in the world just do the same thing As bees
I live in Australia my name is Ned I’m from Port Macquarie New South Wales
Yes!!! Finally!!
I’m Australian and I’m also weirded out by this song 😅
Turtles eat jellyfish, bats eat mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes are pollinators and there larvae is a source of food for fish.
The point of jellyfish is for the fridge and basically said turtles can eat them if no I have no clue what they are for and I am from Australia
Hey Guys...fun video. I am an American (former Marine and former gun owner and former NRA member) that now calls Australia home.... Been here for 25 years and came a bit after a mass shooting in Tasmania that was an inflection point in the Australian psyche with respect to guns and the Prime Minister and Parliament at the time really tightened up regulation.... Here it is a privilege not a right. Even though the Australian Consitution was based on the US constitution it does not contain a "bill of rights". But...you can still easily get a long gun and if you can justify it you can get a handgun. - but that is fairly hard. For any gun ownership You just need a license from the Police, training on gun safety and a safe and you grant the police the right to come in at any time and check the safe. I am in a rural area and every farmer I know has a shotgun or a rifle for shooting the ferals - pigs, foxes, feral cats, deer, rabbits... (all non native). What you CANNOT get,,,,, Assault rifles - hence "At least we dont have AR-15s". Consequently.... Australia's death rate from gun violence on a per capita basis is a minute fraction of the US. Its just the local critters that will kill ya if you are not careful!
U HAVENT SEEN A MAGPIE BEFORE!. lucky u. they attack literal babys even if u r like 100 metres away. (also i spelled metre correctly. thats just how u spell it in australia)
We have guns in Australia, my husband is a member of our local gun club and goes shooting every 2nd weekend. But my husband had to attend classes before even applying for his gun licences. You have to have a licence for each class of gun you want to have so it isn't that you can't have them here just the it's regulated. We even have gun shops here, our closest is like an hour drive though.
You can shoot pigs with a semi automatic here in Australia if you have a D class licence. If you have a B class licence, I've heard the Winchester 30/30 is pretty good and some of the pump action shotguns are fine too. I wouldn't know. I don't want anything to do with guns but this is what I have heard.
I’m Aussie and jellyfish are food for turtles
Ok so we can still own full auto guns but you have to get a special license to own them and have to show up to a range a set amount of times to keep them
React to "KERSANI A Silat Drama Documentary" from Malaysia please!!
Thanks for just knowing we exist!!! 🇦🇺🙏🏽
3:58 there’d be a lot less jellyfish related deaths
Honestly I have lost count of how many mates or people who I have worked with here in Australia who have guns but they are all licensed and go hunting plus the police have to check how they are stored etc etc New South Wales as well by the way
One thing about Australians this might happen to you if you are Australian it might not people ask you to speak Australian we just have a accent since I’m Australian this happens to me a lot
Yes, I agree whole heartedly with your comment of the idiocy of "They'll never be able to take my guns even though AR-15 v TANK means I lose." But until Americans can understand that social democracy in NOT Communism and the Rights are paid for by Responsibilities to community and that Repercussions result from abrogating those Responsibilities I can't see any changing.
Like jellyfish , mosquitos play a very important role in the food chain . Just think of all the birds that eat insects , bats and small lizzards and frogs . Add to that that hundreds if not thousands of fish species eat mosquito larve , you might get an idea on how getting rid of them would affect the eco system .
Hi guys, you really should check out some videos of Australian magpies attacking people; they're really vicious. They swoop down from the trees and try and peck you on the head and face.
It’s not just the gun laws that need to be changed in America
I live in Australia and they just lower the population of fish those jellyfish
So one of our comedians Jim Jeffries has a two part comedy skit on gun control… and pro or against, it’s just funny!
I love Jim Jeffries, I might get Miles to watch it with me on camera. We shall see!
Octopuses, turtles and other sea creatures eat jellyfish.
