On June 26, the Huffington Post ran a column focused on how Australian comedian Jim Jefferies shoots down [the] 2nd Amendment with humor.
A central component of this humor is to equate gun rights with slavery and talk about how a constitutional amendmentlike the one that banned slaverycould be used to overturn the protections the Second Amendment affords to the rights of self-defense and bearing arms.
After all, Jefferies makes clear that he does not believe guns are actually used for protection. And he tells an anecdotal story to explain why:
I had a break in in Manchester, England where I was tied up. I had my head cut. They threatened to rape my girlfriend. They came through the window with a machete and hammer. Americans always go, Imagine if you had a gun. Alright, I was naked at the time. I wasnt wearing my holster. I was staring at the window waiting for machetes to come through.
Jefferies punchline for this story: What world do you live in where you are waiting, constantly [expletive] ready?(continued)

While there are groups of Australians actively working to get better gun rights in Australia, the US starts toting this moronic comedian as a way to get rid of our own.
Mad world we’re in.
That guy has probably blown more coke up his nose than a Hoover could suck up.
Who the hell is Jim Jefferies?
Some pathetic comedian who had a series on Comedy Channel. I quit watching CC a couple of years ago.
They’re just exercising their First amendment rights, don’cha know?
Gun ownership is a Constitutional right guaranteed to Americans for the purpose of putting down a tyrannical government out of control. The NRA was established for the purpose of insuring that recently freed slaves could own guns and protect themselves. When slavery went away, it was more important than ever for people to own guns.
you wait,
a national gun grab has been obammy’s intention all along.
All this other crap, fag marriage, no borders, etc. has all just been a primer.
Hear it coming yet?
the gun cops will storm your home and take em.
REfuse or resist and they will kill you.
I would not mind seeing Hollyweird go the way of slavery. I am a Canadian who owns guns as a proud part of my heritage and freedom and knows that places like Vermont and Maine and elsewhere in the United States where law abiding firearms ownership is prevalent are the safest areas to be in.
Slavery is exactly what you will get—when you disarm, clown boy.
You are correct, of course-—but there are now so many hoops through which we must jump to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights and in many places, it can be expensive to get that little ole gun permit.
Of course it’s only us honest folks who jump through all these hoops and pay all the fees.
Criminals will always have guns if they want them, no matter how many laws they are breaking along the way.
Yeah, it’s a good thing all those women Ted Bundy murdered didn’t have guns. They might have been shot protecting themselves from someone who killed them with clubs. /s
“REfuse or resist and they will kill you.”
Then, it will be a good day to die!
Another celebrity imbecile spewing his ignorance for the world to see.
Eliminating gun ownership worked well for the people in Hitler’s Germany, didn’t it Jimmy boy?
Guess what Mr. Jefferies? I’m going out today and pick up what my kids use to refer to as a “bang bang”. Maybe even two!
My dogs bark I reach over to my night stand and pull my .38 Colt Agent. Takes about 2 seconds.
if you don’t want to become a slave...better stayed armed there, mate(pronounced ‘MIGHT’).
Comedian ?
That’s not funny.
