You are correct, sir, and quite astute despite for your modesty.

Guns are extremely available. In many states, anyone 18 or older with a driver's license can purchase an assault rifle over the counter, some with no waiting period.

Many have proposed putting limits on availability, but it is not something that is politically possible in the current environment. I am attempting to approach the problem from a novel angle, because the obvious solutions have been carefully blocked by the gun manufacturers who bought our Congress. Americans love market solutions and market freedom, so I'm attempting to use those forces to achieve the goal of reducing homicides.

Thank you for your input!
