Y'all act like gun control will stop this problem. It's like putting a band-aid on a mortal wound. If I really wanted to, I can get a gun off the street for a 100 dollars or less.

@empanadas But where does your gun guy get it? A gun shop, or somebody else who got it at a gun shop.

@LordShadowfire first of all I don't have a gun dealer. Second, there's more avenues to getting illegal guns on the streets. Once again, harsher gun control laws won't stop this issue. Criminals will find another way to obtain illegal guns. Possibly even through the borders in the north and/ or south. Gun control laws, It's just a band aid on a bigger problem. Too many people with mental issues here without proper treatment. We need metal detectors before we enter a building. This culture here is too wrapped around with guns and criminality. There's countries with lax gun laws and they don't have no where near the amount of violent crime rate as the USA. It's the culture here and the lack of proper mental health care.

Okay, your [i]hypothetical[/i] gun guy. I thought you would take that as a given.

Sure, but where do the crooks selling them get them? Somebody up the chain is still buying them legally, filing off the serial numbers, and distributing them for sale.
I do, however, agree that the bigger problem is [quote] I Too many people with mental issues here without proper treatment.[/quote]
