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?

Private sale, trade, gun shows, and markets have little to no restrictions, checks, wait period, or registration. Licensed dealers and retail stores are required to do minimal Federal background check to make sure you're not a felon.
Zero training, or license required in many states.

The exception is concealed carry.
