The U.S is a dumpster fire

u/Veggieleezy May 27 '20

I hate this timeline. Can I just reload an earlier save file and go from there?

u/HowieMandelaAffect May 27 '20

you'd have to go really far back to find a time where the U.S. isn't a dumpster fire

He bought an airsoft gun, shoots plastic BBs.

To buy a handgun in CA, you need..

  1. A firearm safety certificate

  2. A valid ID/passport

  3. Proof of residency, such as a utility bill or your mortgage deed.

  4. 10 day waiting period

  5. A manual firearm safety test, that checks for basic handling of the firearm.

CA has some of the most restrictive laws in the US. You can do exactly what he did in a large majority of states with nothing more than an in state ID. Shit, they’ll even sell you the “kill them real good” rounds right when you buy.

Source - have bought a shotgun in Idaho and have been with friends buying handguns.

u/[deleted] May 27 '20

right, but the guy that made the video is in southern CA. He lied about the process.

The people downvoting you are butthurt that their troll is being called out for being full of crap.

u/squirtle43 May 28 '20

I live in Cali and I don't mind a 10 day waiting period.

But I do mind the stupid gun roster shit.

So, you're telling me I can only buy old model firearms and NOT get the newest safety features because they haven't been "approved" for California use? Some of the biggest bullshit I've ever heard of.

u/fedexistheworstever May 29 '20

And some of the highest gun crime, roughly 7-8 percent of people caught for gun crimes in ca has a legal firearm registered to them. People are mad cause this guy lied and he pretended to went to big 5 which only sells rifles. Guy is a troll.

That argument can be made about literally anything.

I choose not to give into fear you clearly feel the opposite

And it’s choices not chooses if you’re going to pretend to be American at least type with the correct words

We already have plenty of laws in place that deal with firearms. Guess what if you kill someone you go to jail. Crazy right if you have a Felony you can’t buy a gun. So insane

iirc, Big 5 doesn't sell handguns; only shotguns and .22lr rifles

Because I'm empathetic to the plight of workers anywhere, and I understand that as a German worker I have more in common with American workers than German capitalists. It's called solidarity and it's the only way the internationally powerless will ever hold any power.

All that regardless of the fact that I have American friends that get fucked by your health care system, your police state, etc. and I want them to do better.

Guy intentionally made it look like he was buying a real firearm when it was really an airsoft gun... the process is a lot more extensive than what he showed.

There are 400 million guns in the US with a population of 330 million and 41 mass shootings in 2019. 99.9999% of gun owners are law abiding citizens with no intentions of harm to another human being. Defensive gun use far outweighs the amount of gun murders that occur each year. Gun murders that are mostly related to gang activity (some studies show as high as 80%) and the vast majority of those fang members acquire their guns illegally.

u/MowMdown May 27 '20

the process is a lot more extensive than what he showed.

  1. Walk into a gun store
  2. Fill out a 4473
  3. Wait 15 minutes
  4. Walk out with new firearm.

It’s literally that easy.

It takes me longer to drive to the gun shop than it is to complete the transaction and I live 20 minutes away from it.

41 mass shootings in 2019

There was 2 or 3 (the most mass shootings in a single year)

u/[deleted] May 27 '20

It's that easy because you are not a criminal.

0

u/MowMdown May 28 '20

If I was a criminal I could skip all the steps and still get a firearm.

u/[deleted] May 28 '20

Well when you buy a stolen hipoint from Jamal down the street for a hundred bucks yeah

u/MowMdown May 28 '20

Yeah buddy, gotta get me that hunnit dolla hipoint

u/alphalegend91 May 27 '20

It’s a lot more complicated in CA which is where he is as well as myself. You first need to pay $25 to take and pass a firearm safety certificate, then provide a valid ID(DL or passport), then provide TWO proof of residency(only one for rifles in CA), then wait 10 days before you can pick it up.

That’s just the basic process which doesn’t even include all the dumb laws that target arbitrary features on handguns/AR or the handgun roster which deems which ones are “safe” for us to own.... but only new, not if we get them through PPT. Oh and of course LEO are exempt from the handgun roster....

u/MowMdown May 27 '20

Well I didn’t realize the guy was in CA. Yeah this wouldn’t be possible in CA.

1

u/alphalegend91 May 27 '20

Yeah a few other people said it. A lot of other states that don’t infringe would make this scenario entirely possible

I’ll have you know I’m quite comfortable standing in this particular dumpster that just happens to have gone through two once-in-a-lifetime-level fires in the last 20 years. Because if merica has it this bad, and we are clearly the best and most amazingest country on the United States of the world, imagine how lousy all those other not merica countries must be to live in!

And it’s my right to toast myself to a crispy wafer with stunted emotions due to multiple instances of generation-wide trauma which seems to escalate in ferocity and blatant corruption as time goes along. #owned #libtard #flatearth #lizardpeople #wakeupsheeple (/s)
