We have many countries down south that are easy to get guns from too. The United States is positioned for easy access to guns. Modern gun culture comes from the leftover British belief of letting their colonies keep guns to protect their property. That eventually morphed into individuals safety, and safety from tyranny. I think the current gun legislation efforts are unhelpful attempts to fix any of this tbh.Some states ban cosmetics, and magazine limits… when the next state over allows any magazine size.

I wish for a simple federal gun license, one that most republicans would compromise with. One for handgun/rifle, one for shotgun, and just check mental health and ensure the person buying is well educated in firearm safety, and that they are storing the gun properly. I think the die hard gun culture cannot be fixed by simple bans(especially when one state over can bring in anything banned), but I think we can limit and prevent a lot of damage. I think as time goes on less people will want guns, at least assuming things don’t get worse economy in the long term…
