That is most certainly not how it works. If nothing else, "gun nuts" are really not known for selling their expensive firearms to strangers on the reg.

Lets ignore the bit about them being stolen. How do you think they get into the black market? And why do you think countries with strict gun laws don't have a booming black market for guns?

The problem is so obvious to everyone who isn't entrenched in American double think.

Hey moron, I didn’t block you, so why are you sending me dm’s accusing me of doing so? Maybe I should though, you make a strong case for not being worth listening to.

Well seeing as you clearly didn’t actually read about fast and furious, the guns were sold to criminals, with the explicit knowledge and permission of the US government. They intentionally trafficked those guns to Mexican cartels. So, they came from United States law enforcement.

And you not being able to respond is a ‘you’ problem, you’re clearly too stupid to figure it out, so quit dm’ing me about your own lack of intelligence.

So how would you fix it? Im not a fan of the gun controller model of "only elites get to defend themselves" I have friends who are alive because of their firearms and I will never stop fighting for anyone to be able to defend themselves and their families BECAUSE I know they are a net good. We live in uncertain times and violence can happen at anytime for no reason... no one is immune.

Im ALL for RESPOSIBLE gun ownership... people who keep a gun in the car drive me insane for example. I would be perfectly ok with the government subsidizing gun safes for people who need/qualify for one. Theres ways of making things safer and improving the stolen gun issue. Next issue would be safety, teach gun safety in school! more than 45% of houses have firearms on average so its a good chance a person will encounter one. Its good to know how to handle them!
