Yeah. Sadly, without access to semi-automatic firearms, Australians wouldn't know a thing about real freedom.

People don't have the same concerns anymore about getting gunned down when they're at a tourist resort. Yeah, but was that worth it? Yes. Was it worth giving up your fundamental freedoms just to not get shot in a gun massacre? Australians must now live in this well-regulated nightmare because of ex-politicians like Rob Borbidge, who smugly thinks that his country has something to teach us.

But it's pointless for us to study the Australian experience because their fear of gun control back then has no parallels with ours. I mean, what kind of things were you hearing when you suggested gun control?

No one in America is afraid of Indonesians. Are they afraid of Mexicans and Muslims coming? Maybe. Sure, he claims Australians were angry, but where is the proof?

And I'm not going to give up any guns that they're going to take off me. Are you going to give yours up? OK, there it is.

And if you think that sounds bats*** crazy, this effective gun control was enacted by conservative politicians against the will of their own base. Our politicians are different. They know that... Gun control doesn't work. Or even if it does... It takes a long time. And to be fair, John Howard and his Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fisher have had since 1996 to enact their sweeping reforms.

After three days in the bush with a guy in a kangaroo suit, it became clear what the real issue with gun control in America is. If guns aren't the problem, Philip, what is the problem? People. People are the problem? Yes. Do you know what? After spending this amount of time with you, Philip, I'm starting to believe that that's partially true. Good. Good.

After investigating the issue on opposite sides of the earth, I discovered that if Americans really do want gun control, there is actually one thing they can do to get it. Move to Australia.

Well, it's true that these reductions in capital gains and dividend taxes tend to favor those people who already have money to invest. You can see here how the money will be apportioned. If this pie chart represents the $70 billion in tax cuts, then the majority of that will go to people making over $200,000 a year, or as the government refers to them, citizens.
