Well I'd say I'd be happy to give some away, but my .22 is probably my favorite gun I own because it's great for when I just want to plink away at some cans or a target and don't want to need to wear ear protection or feel like I'm just pissing money down the drain. I'd actually like to buy another .22 just so I have something else to shoot it with (preferably a pistol, I know they make them), but I cant justify spending money on a gun after buying a house.

You should probably wear ear protection when shooting standard velocity .22lr without a suppressor.

e: hearing protection can be fun! Get electronic ones because they give you super hearing.

if you polled a thousand people carrying Clinton 2016 placards at a Clinton campaign rally and only 55% supported her, that probably would not be indicative that Hillary has 55% support nationwide.

There is as far as I can tell zero evidence that they only test guns that they think are from the US aside from the unsubstantiated claims of guys so desperate to dispute anything that makes their guns look bad they've managed to convince themselves that most of the guns in country x don't come from country y despite their large porous border with established criminal smuggling and the fact that country y has a quadrillion easily purchased or stolen firearms

I mean, let's be totally fair. Going around armed may seem like a combination of paranoia and hatred to you, but the typical gun nut has soft, butter-like bones. A light slap stands a good chance of shearing their face off.

why is it even under contention that lots of guns from the US end up in mexico? the US has a lot of guns and the border isn't exactly airtight

if you track 1/4 of the seized guns and the vast majority come from the states then that's a lot even if that 1/4 was a massive statistical outlier and the other 3/4 came from elsewhere

Yes. History has shown that banning a thing results in a net positive.
It is a great idea.

Do me a favor. List those rifle types in order of lethality for me. You can add in handguns for shits and giggles.

Stating the M16 you stole from the Mexican police/army arms room came from the US is technically correct, but irrelevant to the argument being made.
