      That’s what happens when people can do private sales without any checks 👍 FREEDOM MOTHERFUCKER!

          Thank goodness mentally incompetent people can still purchase and own firearms, wouldn’t feel like freedom any other way.

              Yeah but that makes it harder for people to actually address the fact that high rates of firearm ownership is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for high rates of homicide, which has consistently been correlated with a lack of socioeconomic mobility among young adult men across societies and times. But that’s hard, so instead we just sarcastically post “FREEDOM” and “now is not the time to address guns” while, ironically, never actually doing the difficult but necessary work of discussing the underlying structural economic conditions and caste dynamics which lead to this problem. Because that’s hard.

                High rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. “Necessary” would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.

            Mentally incompetent Americans. Mentally incompetent people in civilized countries usually don’t even come close to guns.

            EDIT: Looks like the ammosexuals don’t like my take. Yes, people lile you are left unarmed for good in civilized countries, if you like it or not.

          Wouldn’t his status as being mentally incompetent come up somewhere? I’m not from the USA and hate guns so I don’t know all the details about these background checks.

            In some of our states, a “background check” is when the examiner looks up from his desk. If you’re blocking the background, he checks the “good to own a firearm” box.

              Yeah except the part where it is federal law that all FFL dealers have to run an FBI NICSs check on all gun sales in every state because that is a federal law.

        The alternative is that you have to do paperwork every time you buy or sell a gun, which is actually worse than innocent people dying

          The only paperwork I need is the one written by a bunch of old white dudes who owned slaves and barely washed 😎

          Can’t have one without the other (contrary to what ammosexuals believe)
