A majority of them have never even been to California yet they seem to talk about it/bash it non-stop.
minus-squareelucubra@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 day agoWhy are so many USian against gun control? I live in Europe. I can own handguns, semiauto rifles, including assault types and other sporting/hunting guns. I cannot modify them. Magazines are limited to 3 rounds, although procuring/3D printing larger ones is trivial, but if I get caught with one + the rifle, I’m are fucked. I have to pass a physical and psych test. I must attend a course which is essentially gun discipline and safety. My guns are registered, Including ballistic samples. If I sell a gun the police must be notified, and the buyer vetted. My guns must be kept in a locked, approved, gun locker. When in a car, the gun must be in a carry box, in the trunk, and munitions in the glove box. Except for some details please explain how this is fundamentally different from owning and driving a car.
