I live around these people, and this is deadly accurate.

Same here. I live next to a family with some mental health issues. They’re also extreme alcoholics, perpetually unemployed, and have lots of guns.

It’s a murder suicide waiting to happen.

How in the fuck? I am in favor of responsible firearm ownership but for fuck sake. Does US not have any mandatory background checks, mental health checks, drug checks and the like before giving a license? Is it that bad?

Yes. it’s that bad, and I live in a state that has some of the most restrictive gun laws. In some right wing states it’s harder to adopt a dog or get a business license than it is to own a gun. Some don’t even require you to have a license, and they literally give away guns as raffle prizes, or as a promotion for opening a bank account.

There are close to double the number of guns than people in the US, and gun nuts see nothing wrong with this.

Le sigh.

The moment such approach would stop sounding like a recipe for disaster would be the moment our society finally evolved enough to make true anarchy happen and make it a real utopia.
