Sounds to me like he's a Law Abiding Australian citizen that believes law abiding and responsible gun owners should own any damn gun they want. He even said it.
Are you a bit steamy because he said he didn't mind the laws they have over there? They have no RIGHT to own guns, and he sounds happy to be PRIVILEGED to own them at all.
Unless there's a sub-text secret message going on I didn't notice, this sounds like an alright guy.
And how are your feelings on those Kiwi's in New Zealand Uryu? You ever see this guy? http://www.youtube.com/user/kiwitedferny

If you'll also notice, I didn't just "erase the evidence" of my post, instead adding onto my comment and at least somewhat correcting myself.
As to the Kiwi you linked, he's.... Interesting, to say the least. A millionaire collector, who wore a batman mask for half of his youtube career after someone posted his name and address (resulting in him nuking his first account because it was in the comments of ALL the videos). Isn't allowed to SHOOT any of his Restricted weapons, and doing so and posting it on youtube got him turned down from joining the police, and he got a warning from them.
research on NZ gun laws shows "they are more liberal than other Pacific countries", but are still pretty damn tight about it.
To get your first permit, you have to undergo a class, interview, and they have to interview two references, one related, one not.
The permit only covers "Class A", which is weapons over 30 inches, are not "military style", do not have magazines that even LOOK like they can hold more than 15 rounds of .22 or 7 rounds of anything else, et cetera. PEPPER SPRAY is considered a Restricted Weapon which requires a special endorsement, and registration of the ********' PEPPER SPRAY, in addition to the license.
Anything shorter than 30 inches, has any military features, or is in the Restricted Weapons category requires registration, and ANOTHER permit (Permit to Procure), as well as gaining special endorsements on your original permit.
The endorsements are as follows, in Quote tags under their names.
B Endorsement--Sporting Pistols
* Applicant must be a current member of a pistol club, a financial member of Pistol New Zealand and have attended at least 12 club shoots in the last 6 months before they can apply
* Applicant must be sponsored by their club
* The endorsement holder must attend at least 12 club shoots in a financial year
* Normally limited to no more than 12 pistols registered to their licence
* Pistols must be of an approved sporting type i.e. barrel length of more than 10 cm (3.9 in)
* Pistols can only be carried to and from the range in a locked container with ammunition in a separate container or to a gunsmith
* Pistols may only be shot on a Police approved pistol club range.

* Pistols can only be carried to and from the range in a locked container with ammunition in a separate container or to a gunsmith
* Pistols may only be shot on a Police approved pistol club range.
C Endorsement--Restricted Weapons
This is a catch all, if the firearm does not fall into the A B or E categories it's a C class. Pistols can also be held on the C endorsement instead of the B. Common special reasons include:
* Collecting (must provide evidence in the form of books, club membership, collection of A type firearms), Museum curator, Family heirlooms and Theatrical.
* C category firearms must be stored in an inoperable condition
* Can never be used with live ammunition, but blanks are allowed for movie making and re-enacting
* Can only be taken to an approved display venue, re-enactment event or to an other collector for sale.

D Endorsement--Dealer License
For those that make an income from firearms. To sell restricted weapons the dealer also needs to have the appropriate endorsements.
* Renewed annually
* Further security requirements
* Must maintain a book of firearm purchases and sales.
URYU: It's like an FFL for us, except they need an ownership license first.

E Endorsement--Military Style Semi-automatics
New class of restricted weapon that was created after the Aramoana tragedy. At the time anyone with an M.S.S.A that wanted to keep it in that configuration was given a E endorsement (after going through the vetting and extra security requirements). But presently few are issued. Common reasons for wanting an E endorsement are professional pest destruction, collecting, 3-gun and service rifle shooting. Those people that did not want the extra hassle and expense of the endorsement converted their rifles into 'A' configuration by removing the components that made it an 'E'.
MSSA features:
* A folding or telescopic butt
* A bayonet lug
* A free-standing "military-style" pistol grip
* A flash suppressor
* A magazine that holds (or looks like it could hold) more than 15 rounds of .22 rimfire ammunition or 7 rounds of any other calibre.

F Endorsement--Dealers Staff License
This class allows a person working for a dealer to demonstrate a Pistol, Military Style Semi Automatic or a Collectable weapon without having to have that class of licence. They can demonstrate one but not possess one for personal use. This is not a well known endorsement
EDIT:
Your signature might be a bit big.
eek The massive wall of legalese has fried by brain, and I barely even skimmed it.
Oh, and that they class pepper spray with machine guns and rockets.
We should all be like the French. France has pretty liberal gun laws (self defence is perfectly legal, and self defence is considered a legitimate reason to purchase a firearm), and when a shooting occurs, the French tend to blame society and not guns.
