I wanna dance with you

Ya...thats the US as well...u have to have a permit in pretty much all of the states to own a gun.

In fact in some states guns are illegal but some get ahold of them due to the black market being a thing.

Its just the problem that we have is theres no background checks and majority of people are ignorant and straight up dont have any home training

Like in this video that kid is far beyond the age where she should be taught not to mess with guns especially look down the barrel and theres tons of toy guns in stores so she knows what they are and what they do and yet she look down the barrel. Shows how dumb the people in the US really are

I am from the US
