What?

Although there are no gunshops similar to the US, where you could go and buy a pistol, revolver, rifle, etc., there are still plenty of Hunting and Sporting Stores all around the country that can legally sell low caliber weapons and ammo to those with valid permit. Allowed calibers are .22, .25, .32 o .380 and .38 SPL.

Its usually a few per big city and is tend to be visited by a small group of people that usually go to shooting ranges, have ranches or belongs to a hunting/shooting club.

It's not only one store LMAO 🀣

Its common for people in rural areas to be a gun owner and rare for city dwellers to do so. Yet you can find people that inherited old guns.

Since the 90's, the Army has regular buy off campaigns to convince the people to get rid of their guns

The last thing the working classes of the world needs is for the owner class to have a monopoly on violence.

The international community should probably do what the US did to set the drinking age to 21, but for guns.

How is that supposed to work? The international community doesn’t pay for US infrastructure.

The USA are a huge market for handguns and keep for example the European companies in business.

How about voting? Maybe that age should be higher as well?

21 years old to be religious. That sound okay?
