What always surprised me most in the US was how easy it was getting a gun. Walk into walmart and get a shotgun, sure why not.
Defending oneself would be more fair if nobody could arm themselves with any type of firearm. A fist fight wouldn't get so messy and the cops would be way more chilled out too.
In my state, they dont sell guns at Walmart and I need a Gun Permit to buy a Gun and you cant get a gun if you've been convicted of a crime. They also do a pretty thorough background check before they give you the permit.
It's not a one week thing. It could take months to get a gun permit.
