Jefferies' gun control routine was the centerpiece of his most recent video, titled Bare. In it, Jefferies rips the NRA, gun activists, and common pro-gun arguments.
He also talks compares the gun situation in Australia to that in America, and states that gun control has worked effectively in his native country.
The aftermath of the routine has proven controversial. Jefferies has posted messages from pro-gun activists that he's received on his Facebook account. In addition, he's countered their arguments on social media.
Prior to his gun routine, the staple of Jefferies' routines was religion. An outspoken atheist, Jefferies makes fun of religion, particularly Christianity, in his older routines.
