    John Oliver didn't even have to do a new segment on it, they just reposted an old video. Nothing has changed, and everything in it is still accurate after all this time

    Just realised the year Australia bought in revolutionary gun control is the same year USA banned funding researching gun safety.
  • @4tahlulz4
    It's kind of amazing to hear that people on terror watch lists AREN'T barred from buying firearms already.
  • It’s sad that it took me a second to remember which shooting he was talking about

    Even if you are against gun control you should probably be concerned with how much influence a private organization (NRA) has over the government.

    “The no’s seem to have it” I’m sorry...what? You didn’t even count or carefully check, you just eyeballed it and called it a day. What if he got it wrong?
  • @jameshill2450
    10:05 and 10:40 - Oh my god are you serious? I can't be the only one who thought the "ayes" sounded noticeably louder in the first, and close enough to call for a closer vote in the second, but I guess they just let the moderator call it and that's the end of the vote? Is that really the way our government is run? That's one of the first thing that needs to change.
  • @JediMB
    Does... Does American congress seriously vote orally as if it's the fucking nineteenth century?
  • @eln5343
