Both are objects, but as you indicated, access to those objects allows people to use them for violence.
I do agree we have a flooded market of guns. They are made like candy and handed out like candy.
When is the last time you spent hundreds of dollars for a piece of candy or underwent a background check to get it?
Oh fuck off, you act like getting a gun is like putting man on the moon. Yea you do have to go through those things and yes, guns are expensive. Marriages are easy to get into too, and quite expensive and without good planning can end up quite nasty.
Nope sorry, if what you say about cost and background checks(fyi are not universal) were solving the problem, we would not have the amount of gun death. You don't believe me that guns are plentiful? Go into any Pawn shop that sells them, count the number of guns in that one shop. Then go to another, count those, repeat repeat repeat, . Then go to a hunting or sporting shop that sells them, count those too.
Yes they are far too easy to get and they are pumped out like any other massively produced product.
