Read the second sentence.
When any gun proposals come up, the same chorus screams about how guns are illegal in socialist places like Europe, but you just said they have guns in Europe. We will remember this.
Did I mention private sales anywhere? Are there private sellers? Yes. Are there many at “gun shows”? No. Most shows vet their sellers, so FFLs are predominant.
Second, I’ve never screamed “guns are illegal in socialist places”; stop rewriting history. I have stated that guns are rare and subject to greater regulation in many, most, countries. Yes, much of Europe has an active hunting tradition, but it’s very divorced from the American scene. I’ve carried guns on-board planes in Europe and Africa. I have many friends who brought guns to Europe for hunting and competitions. France is quite simple; the UK looks at long guns has a revenue making charging an obscene £125 in AND out for the police inspection.
I wasn't saying you specifically, but, since you brought it up, you completely ignored private sales. Which happen.
Guns can be transported in the United States as well. There are regulations, as there are in Europe, but they can be transported. As pointed out above, the attitude in the States about guns is "you can have as many as you want because Second Amendment!"
And the problem with legally purchased guns is what?
