3. "you're bringing a gun to a drone fight"

I'm for gun control, but not ban. Where I live, many people hunt to eat. But this guy is hysterically funny while making excellent points!!! Thank you for the laughs!

4. reference to 1996 massacre

He is referring to the shooting spree in Port Arthur, Tasmania, in which one psycho managed to kill 35 people and wound 23 more.

7. From the Wikipedia link:

"While surveys showed up to 85% of Australians 'supported gun control', many people strongly opposed the new laws. Concern was raised within the Coalition Government that fringe groups such as the 'Ausi Freedom Scouts', the Australian League of Rights and the Citizen Initiated Referendum Party, were exploiting voter anger to gain support. After discovering that the Christian Coalition and US National Rifle Association were supporting the gun lobby, the government and media cited their support, along with the moral outrage of the community to discredit the gun lobby as extremists."
