Guns are already extremely hard to get.

Like I said earlier, criminals will find ways to get weapons. I'd much rather have a gun to protect myself with than not have one and be a helpless victim.

They are very easy to get, maybe the easiest place to get guns in the first world. What rock are you living under?

Easiest place in the world? Maybe. Doesn't change the fact that they are not easy to get.

Do you know the process and how long it takes?

Easiest in the first world and why we have the highest gun murder rate in the first world.

Nice job jumping to stereotypes and insults.

Just looked it up and the US isn't even in the top 10 in gun deaths per Capita. It's mostly South American countries.

And it's not name calling, just a fact. Rednecks are obsessed with guns. I just looked it up and rednecks are in fact obsessed with guns.

As someone who is not a redneck, I see guns as valuable tools.

Redneck is a state of mind....not a race. Trust me, based on your comment and poorly thought out logic, you'd be a redneck.

I'm Asian, live on the west side, and I vote liberally.

Definitely not a redneck.

Definitely a redneck based on your logic....as a Texan I recognize that redneck is a state of mind and not a race.

Again, not a redneck. Not sure if you'd know one if it was right in front of you.

I'm sure that we agree on a lot of things.

That's kinda racist, ngl. Anyways... It also looked like most of the gun related deaths in the US were suicides, with mass shootings being a very small (but highly publicized) category.

We both agree that school shootings are awful. We just have different ideas on how they can be solved. Banning guns is just a bandaid.

Racist or not, it's a fact. White people in Europe don't want guns, not do most white people in cities. It's these rednecks who are slowing down any meaning legislation. And use stupid logic like well the bad guys will find guns or guns don't pull the trigger people do. Or it's actually really hard to get a gun.

I could go down the street RN and have a gun by the end of the week. I could probably find a subreddit and have a fun by tomorrow tbh.

Saying it's hard to get a gun in America is quite silly and such responses can only be met with "you are a redneck." Because only a red neck would say such non sense.
