Gun dealers sell across country borders, violating treaties as well as US law and really just don't give a shit. Meanwhile the BATF&E hasn't had a leader in 5 years and when Biden nominated somebody to run the organization that regulates guns who believes in regulating guns he's defeated. WTF?

Support for actual gun control is at a 7 year low and it's still 5-3 in favor of more stringent control. Yet nothing gets done.

Talking to a Gunner is just like talking to an anti-vaxxer. Show them all the data and all the science and they STILL believe guns make them safer.
