Okay, I want it to be as complicated as fuck to get your hands on a gun.

It will be a bureaucratic nightmare? Don't make me fucking laugh. Maybe when y'all start regulating that militia of yours, I might change my mind.

Fuck y'all and your big boy toys. Guns are only your fucking hobby. Get over yourselves.

Unfortunately, that's likely impossible now.

Had Clinton won the election she would have appointed the fifth Justice to the Supreme Court needed to overturn Heller/McDonald, and uphold future firearm regulatory measures.

That oppertunity is gone now, not to occur again during the next 50 years.

After their massacre in 1996.

Australia (now) has 28-day waiting periods, thorough background checks, and a requirement to present a "justifiable reason" to own a gun.
