    A. A gun is a tool as well, doesn’t mean you should make them public available

    B. That makes a lot of sense. I’m not from around there, sorry for the misunderstanding

      But an article about how guns are used and that they exist is not the same as selling them. I can see the argument that you should not even report on them because it makes them more popular, but at least in the US, guns are pretty permeated through society

        I think it’s more akin to a “get guns ez pz” article. Even if most people can get them, a lot of people don’t because it’s a hassle. But to be fair, if it’s public information then heck, it was only a matter of time until there was a website making it ez pz.

        That’s not this article’s fault. And some important context I managed to miss at first :/

          Still very US centric, but guns are incredibly easy to get here. I live in a “progressive” state and I don’t even have to take a single class to get one, or get a concealed carry permit
