Jim Jefferies On Gun Ownership (2014)

 

Aussie comedian Jim Jefferies gave this biting, NSFW takedown of the rationales for gun ownership in a special back in 2014, just two years after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and before dozens of other massacres with assault rifles since then (tip of the hat to Crooks and Liars).   It's painful that, despite the laughs, nothing has changed in six years to make these clips irrelevant (and that he mischaracterizes the Second Amendment as protecting us from a tyrannical government, rather than to arm State militias to provide for the common defense).
