Or it may have not happened at all if access to guns wasn’t so simple.

 

It’s all about proliferation.

So let me understand.  You say that people buying guns legally and selling them illegally?

Yes/no. That can happen, but it’s more the availability of guns that makes them so easy to acquire. I wouldn’t have to try hard, even in California, to get a gun if I wanted one. I don’t, so I haven’t, but it’s definitely very feasible.

For those of you who don’t know, today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. It’s obviously a day celebrated differently by many people. I choose to at least remember Dr. King by reading his “Letter From A Birmingham Jail”. There was one quote in particular that stuck out to me. It reads “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” I feel like this quote applies to so many of today’s political issues. I really made me stop and think. I’m glad that I can say that my political positions, what I fight for, and morals back this quote.

It's not that easy.  You have to fill out forms.  Have background check.   Its not impossible but not as easy as walking to vons and buying bread

 

And i doubt anyone will just sell their gun illegally without notifying anyone.  Since if that gun is used for crime.  It will come back to me.

Eh, only two people. It isn’t really news until it’s 5 or 6.
