      “much harder to buy a gun.”

      Buddy I won one at a fucking raffle no questions asked.

        That’s not legal in any state.

        I used to run gun raffles, and the way they actually worked is the organization doing the raffle would partner with an FFL, and what they actually won was a gift card redeemable for the exact value of the gun. That gift card would be used for the winner to purchase a firearm, including a NICS check.

      If you find it hard to purchase a gun in the US then I have to marvel at the fact that you manage to successfully navigate a belt buckle. My state doesn’t even require concealed carry permits anymore. I can just go grab a gun, ammo, and walk around strapped with it hidden under my shirt.

      It’s wild west out here dude where have you been?

        California?

        I think you have to wait for the sun to set and rise like half a dozen times before you can pew pew

          Yes, a BG and a waiting period. That’s all. Also you’re always 2-4 hours from NV where you don’t have to wait and if you buy 3rd party in NV, your in Ghost Town, baby!

      Pretty easy to get a gun unless you’re a felon.

      Stop spreading misinformation.

      We only need the guns because dumbfuck conservatives ushered in American fascism.

        3rd pary sales don’t require any information exchange. Meet some one in Cabella’s looking at a new hunting rifle they want? Maybe they’ll sell you a gun at their place for the price of a new rifle. It’s the wild west man. If they cared there wouldn’t be a loop hole you can drive a dump trunk dragging 100 rusty bikes through.

      There isn’t a single state in which the barrier to owning a gun is more difficult than a background check and a waiting period. I’d recommend a glock 9 for reliably and performance. Good luck, and good hunting.

      Getting a gun is as easy as going to fucking Walmart and having them order you something from the warehouse you have to pickup a week later.
