SAD BUT TRUE - IN AMERICA, IT IS SAFER TO BE IN PRISON THAN TO BE IN PUBLIC. No one gets killed by a stranger or a stray bullet in prison. Yes, inmates get killed, but it is never by accident. The person killed is always the person that is supposed to get killed. You aren't going to be walking to the chow hall or the library or working out lifting weights or walking to the commissary and suddenly BOOM! you're dead because someone else was getting shot at (or stabbed). But if you ARE NOT in prison, every time you leave your house there's a chance someone you never met will shoot you. You don't even have to make anyone mad. You can be waiting for a bus, or just sitting in your front yard, or buying groceries, or going to the bank - and then everyone is reading your name in a list of victims. #TrueFact (photo is the old Joliet Correctional Center, the first prison I did time in.)

I am pretty sure when the American founding fathers constitutionalized the freedom to bear guns, they didn't mean automatic riffles used for warfare. Not sure when it was proposed though, as I keep hearing something about a 2nd amendment, so that freedom was probably granted afterwards. Also, I bet they wouldn't trust someone with mental issues carrying a gun either. Yet here you are with gun merchants selling guns to anyone without concerns. I think I read they sell guns even at Walmart. Not sure if this was valid information I found, though.
My WallyWorld carryies hunting rifles shotguns and pistols. Nothing full auto, but semi-auto, yes.
Hunting riffles are allowed in Europe but you need a license from the police. Anything else is not allowed.
