    I can buy a car with cash, no bg check, no license, no insurance, no training, no age restriction and drive it and use it on my private property…I can also move it across state lines with no issue. I can also buy any size car or truck without anything as well. So no your car analogy doesn’t work.

    And no that last bit wouldn’t cut down on school shootings, as most are done with handguns in the inner cities using illegally obtained firearms already, and are usually gang oriented.

    Tons of other things would cut down on our violence issue, but they’re harder to pull off and politicians like to have a virtue signaling single voter issue to rely on.

      Nah the real issue isn’t firearms, it’s just that Americans have a culture that celebrates having a massive hateboner for things and can tend towards violence as a result, just look at certain parts of the Middle East, same thing
