The United States of America is the best/easiest place in the world to own guns. It's the only place you can get a gun at a convenience store. In fact, in most states, a background check isn't required unless you're buying from a federally licensed firearm dealer.
The above is a copypaste, but it gets the point across perfectly. It's vey easy to get a gun in the USA, unlike in many other countries.
I may or may not know where to get illegal firearms, but would've done something very drastic ages ago already if I could simply go get a gun within 3 days legally.
No because I can't get a gun in a grocery store within 3 days.
Only because the friends that would get me to an illegal one know my mental health well enough to not give it to me. No grocery store background check would find any of that.
