Canada is a good one to conpare the US to as well. We have fun licencing, and frankly overly strict rules on what guns you can own. We have a gun violence problem fuelled by the same sort of social issues as the US, but almost all of the weapons used are illegally imported from the US-- legal owners who bother with the safety courses don’t murder people

Why the hell would a licensed gun owner use their own (likely registered) firearm they paid (on average) over $500 to say rob a liquor store?
If in those sorts of dire straights and in need of money you sell your firearm (I have bought some off of people in just such a low place). This once again goes back to social policy, if there is no safety net then desperate people do desperate things.
Canada I did not want to use as an example since no matter what law is passed (for whatever political reason) its all pointless when you have the us right there providing all the illegal firearms any criminal would want. Canada should build a wall, and make the us pay for it…
