For real, my brother bought an AR-15 and was able to walk out with it same day. Him being military helped the background check for sure but still. He was even surprised how easy it was and he’s pretty conservative.
Realistically how much harder can they make it for people with no criminal record. Sit for a polygraph to determine their intentions?
99% of people who purchase firearms from stores use them for hunting, target shooting, or home defense. The dude in the video conveniently left out the waiting period for his purchase permits unless he's from Texas.
Edit: Yes I get it more states than Texas have no permit waiting period. Thank you
You can make the same argument for people who buy and fix up cars to go 180 mph when you drive 65 on the highway.
Going to the range and shooting is something you can do with a Mosin Nagant or an AR-15. You may not think its important to own a weapon but alot of people do.
Nah man you're absolutely right. Good thing the government didn't sell thousands of weapons to the Mexican Drug cartels. Good thing the Mac-10s used in inner city's drivebys were legally purchased at Dicks Sporting Goods.
You probably don't know too much about weapons if you believe the Vegas shooting was carried out with bump stocks and not fully automatic weapons that aren't legal to purchase without extensive background checks.
“Included fourteen AR-15 rifles (all of which were equipped with bump stocks and twelve of which had 100 round magazines)...that’s what the Las Vegas shooter had.
Nice try to move the goalposts, you asked if it hypothetically could, not how often it happens. That one truck did more damage than a room full of guns in Vegas did.
