Not sure what "we" and "plenty of" mean. This is regulated state by state. And the number of laws (?) is irrelevant if they are ineffective. Ohio, for instance

Not sure what "we" and "plenty of" mean. This is regulated state by state. And the number of laws (?) is irrelevant if they are ineffective.
Ohio, for instance, has gun shows that advertise on TV and facilitate casual gun sales. Not even a Walmart, just a booth at a convention center.
* Some states have permissive gun regulation.
* There is no consistent, nationwide background check system.
* There is a large field of options between where we are and "take guns away from all civilians forever". We already prevent the sale of grenades. We prevent the sale of gas. Doing so makes it harder for criminals to be criminals in particular ways. We can similarly restrict the sale of certain kinds of weapons to make it harder for criminals to be criminals, just as some of our other rights are restricted outright or through case law (including free speech, freedom to assemble, and others).
- fein 11y agoI'm a native born and so far lifelong resident of Ohio; and I wouldn't have our gun laws any other way (constitutional carry would be nice) I think something like 1% of gun crimes are committed from firearms purchased from a gun show. > We already prevent the sale of grenades. We prevent the sale of gas. Explosives are pretty easy to make. How many pipe bombs were found with the San Bernadino shooters? And this is California in that example, possibly the most restricted state in the US regarding firearms. Tannerite is legal for purchase in Ohio and California, for example. All you need is a blasting cap to set it off (or shoot it with a gun, which is one hell of a fun afternoon)
