    The cost of complying with the dozens of legal hoops is often like 10-20x or more than the price of just a cheap pistol itself.

    Larger financial barriers just mean if you’re rich you can do what you want and if you’re not, you’re fucked, which often leads to people breaking these dumb laws and the cycle getting worse.

      This is a very dumb mentality. Like making sure your car is safe and roadworthy costs money. But we don’t view people who drive with broken break lights or worn out tyres so sympathetically.

        A janky car is a danger to others on the road, not having the proper paperwork for your gun only puts yourself in legal danger.

          So you think people who haven’t practiced or gone through any gun safety course could only hurt themselves with a gun???
