    It’s illegal, but because firearms are so hilariously ubiquitous, there is effectively no standard of ownership or storage, and law enforcement has inadequate tools to tackle gun tracing by design, there is ample opportunity for a prohibited person to unlawfully obtain a gun in the US. Made even more laugable by the open, legal marketing of products like the P80, which are ending up in police evidence lockups across the country.

    The gun culture in America is inherently anti-social and anti-establishment, so rules and laws cannot just be lightly suggested and expected that they be followed. People need to consistently go to prison and permanently lose their gun rights for their fuckups to start changing things.

        I didn’t, because I live in a state that licenses gun owners, tracks all pistol purchases and actually throws people in jail for being criminally negligent with their guns. I can guess where they stand on gun control and gun law enforcement.

        I assume you didn’t either, because you don’t actually care about any of this and just took the chance to info-dump and misdirect people who want to regulate your toys.
