This is still surreal to me, buying guns online with credit card...
I don't believe you can have your guns shipped to you via FedEx. You need to go to the shop in person, with a background check done while you wait. That would take a few minutes. When you buy your gun online they ship it to the gun store nearest to you if they don't have the model you want in stock.
I am not a gun owner so I could be wrong.
Yeah, I guess it will depend on what state you are, but I'm from a country with tight gun control and the "every one can have a gun" it's pretty weird to me...
I thought the same for a long time, I live in a country where guns are illegal, and most people think it is a good thing they are, because else we would turn into the US where people shoot each other constantly.
...but are they? Or is that just an opinion they want us to believe?
If they give you a gun, would you start to shoot at people? Or would you only use it if your live depends on it, if you got to defend yourself? For me it would be the second, if I really would want guns to shoot someone for the most stupid reasons, I would have guns. Criminals have guns in countries with tight gun control, nutjobs have guns, the only people who don't have guns, are people like you and me, the ones that would never misuse them anyway.
The US is big and it's pretty normal we hear a lot about firearm incidents, but looking at my own little country, I can recall instantly 3 mass shooting accidents in which one guy was shooting and throwing grenades, another guy ran into a daycare center and started stabbing toddlers with a knife (no gun needed to harm a lot of people), one guy started shooting in a shopping street. If I look at the Netherlands one guy started shooting in a mall, Norway also had a shooting accident,etc...
Making guns legal wouldn't change much imo, we wouldn't turn into maniacal killers and the homicide rates would just stay the same, I don't have guns but I have so many objects in my house that I use daily that could be used as a weapon anytime. Why would a gun make so much difference?
