Another argument he has heard is that if we take away all guns then only the criminals have guns. He then states about how in Australia the price of guns on the black market are very expensive.

This is an overall funny bit done on gun control. In this performance by Jim Jefferies he states a lot of convincing evidence to the argument that all guns should be illegal and that the arguments of people that are pro gun have no foundation. There is quite a bit of profanity so do be aware before watching this
