And a lot of times, the laws are pretty stringent - and those people who are angry beyond reason simply wait until they can get their purchase.
I think most of the people claiming "guns are so easy to get" don't realize that a) if guns are easy for them to get, they've got loads of privilege (and probably plenty of money, too) and b) they've never actually looked at hte paperwork required before you can purchase a gun.
That "single shot pea shooters" made me snort tea out my nose. wth, what do you mean, like a single-action .22 or something? Do they even make those? Or one of the old fully manual shotguns loaded up with rock salt? Are bb-guns single shot? This must be a rural hunting reference.
