    You need gun control everywhere in the country. Unfortunately it’s too easy for people to just buy them in the next town and drive them in. That is not a reason to keep letting it happen, of course, but it is why “[city/state] does have laws and there are still problems” arguments are kinda worthless.

    And then you gotta wait a long-ass time because even cutting off supply there are already more guns than people in the U.S… Best time to plant a tree and all that means ya’ll need to hurry.

      So you would want a near ban on all guns? Just curious what you mean by gun control everywhere.

      One thing that I’m sure will come out of this story is the gun is stolen. Washington has safe storage laws, but if you report your gun stolen, you are not liable for any crimes committed with it. It happened when a man shot a mother and child in Seattle and the original owner was okay because he reported it stolen. The government should be prosecuting these negligent gun owners.
