Fucking NRA

[abaris]

We (as in americans) fucking love writing laws.  We've been at it pretty hard for a long time.

Yes, I realize that. And it's probably more than anywhere in Europe.

The reason why I'm askling is, I could walk into my school mates shop and obtain a long weapon at my leisure as long as my criminal record turns up clean. For a handgun I need to take a psychological test, which, as I said, can be repeated as many times as I like.

They banned pump actions and automatics because these were the weapons of choice for bank robbers in the late 80ies, early 90ies.

It seems to me that the second amendment supercedes state law in many instances. I realize that New York and various other states are harder on weapon ownership than others. But the numbers still speak for itself. Nearly as many guns as their are citizens. In my case it's 1:10.
