I'd think the reason that firearm injuries and deaths cost America so much is ease of access.

And when did the US institute background checks for the purchase of candy?

Boru

Not to quibble, but...according to Brian there's no purchasing involved in either the acquisition of candy or guns.  They are just handed out all willy-nilly.

What, just the opposite. You don't get candy or guns for free. Don't be silly and imply I was implying guns are handed out for free. But they still are too easy to obtain. 

With no record, most people can go into a guns shop, submit their info, and walk out minutes later. Nobody claimed they didn't have to pay for the fireram.
