you know what makes me sick? The reality of gun trafficking in the US is that folks go to areas like yours where guns are prevalently available, they STEAL them from those wal-marts, from those gun shops, and more often from the warehouses and shipping yards which import/distribute those guns, then they smuggle them back over to urban warzones like Los Angeles and Chicago and New York and sell em on the block. I used to run with gun runners, I am aware of the business tactics. I tried to explain all this on the gun control thread, but the NRA lobby was shouting louder..
Guns are stolen from warehouses and shipping yards by the PALLET! Then they end up on the streets from LA to Juarez and serve as fertilizer to plant bodies in the earth..
