Here in the United Kingdom a Member of Parlament was assassinated,Now we have strict gun laws,BUT if you know someone it's easy to get a gun,It's not gun laws that need a reality check it's the mental heath of the nation,Gun crime is rife in Bermuda where guns are totally illegal,I've seen guns for sale at yard and car boot sales in New Jersey,New York and Pennsylvania,
Here gun sales are totally controlled,even if a gun is purchased on the internet,it must be sent to gun shop for collection
Added to the fact firing a gun,to hit a target,is a controlled art

Mark, It's not so much the mental health of the nation that needs a check, but those who are mandated by law to do those background checks must do their jobs.

It's not as easy to get a gun in most states as the news claims it is. That's why so many murders are done with illegally obtained weapons.
You absolutely CANNOT go into any state and just pick up some guns and go about your merry way. Sure, you can buy them at swap meets, flea markets, used online etc, but the owner CANNOT just send you off with it / them. There is paperwork involved and that depends on the state you live in. THEN said purchase has to be shipped to you via their local gun shop to your local gun shop and you must present your purchase permit there again. This IMO is a dirty money making scheme devised by ill-informed politicians with stupidity on the brain. It's costly to have a gun shipped this way.

Regardless of what you hear the democratic politicians tell you, getting a gun is not as easy as they claim, especially in states that have very strict gun control laws like NY, & NJ.

It's ALWAYS true that when you start taking away the guns, the crimes committed with them will not stop. You can't punish the people who follow the law and the rules in hopes the "bad guys" will follow by example. If people are going to kill, and people will, they will find a way.
