Ah, there are some regulations with respect to getting a firearm then? But given the enormous amount of firearms around, would it be hard to get one illegally?

Ah, there are some regulations with respect to getting a firearm then? But given the enormous amount of firearms around, would it be hard to get one illegally? I suppose everyone knows someone with a healthy mental outlook and with a serious gun. It does not seem as if you have to go to some heavy criminals to get one. But it is good to hear that there is at least some sort of barrière to obtain a dangerous weapon.
