How easy is it to purchase a gun in the US?

<p>Abolish concealed carry laws so victims can not be.</p>

<p>why do u want a gun for college? if its for protection... dont come to america, your not welcome.</p>

<p>Riptide sucks. You are absolutely welcome here, especially if you choose to be a responsible citizen and own a firearm.</p>

<p>I dont know how it would be for an international...but when I bought my shotgun I just had to fill out paperwork and such, show some identity ****, and pay a hella lot of money :)</p>

<p>if its for protection, he wont need it cause he isnt gonna b having armed people barging into his dorm room. and forget carrying around a loaded gun to parties. cops show up, then see your gun while your wasted and bye bye your ******.</p>

<p>shooting can be recreational you know...</p>

<p>I don't think you're allowed to keep firearms on a college campus unless you go to a military school.</p>

<p>last time i checked queens and manhattan were in new york not massachusetts.</p>

<p>in mass., yiu di beed a gun license though...
but I highly doubt any college will let you have one on campus and if you try and hide it and get caught w/ it, you're screwed</p>

<p>Store it at your gun club...usually if you know them well, they wont even charge you</p>

<p>You know what you don't see very often these days? Someone walking around carrying a sword. Even more rare is someone carrying a sword getting beaten up. So maybe if the bleeding hearts don't let you carry a gun, you can carry a sword. Tell them you're from France and it's part of your heritage (3 Musketeers and all that). They will do anything to avoid infringing on a foreigner's heritage.</p>

<p>Haha...but sadly I'm not from France!</p>

<p>You know, gun control in theroy is a good idea. So is drug control, yet that doesn't really seem to be working that well</p>

<p>with guns, along with your constitutional right to have one, you are not guarenteed to mess up/kill yourself and others</p>

<p>if someone tried to rape me i'd shoot him in the balls.</p>

<p>whats the point of macing them, they can wash that out and rape someone again later.</p>

<p>but if you shoot them in the balls there's a good chance they may think twice.</p>

<p>dfca, I admire your intent, but I hope you are a good shot, because that particular target might be sort of tough to hit while sprinting down a dark alley. You could get some of those Australian kangaroo-skin coin purses for target practice.</p>

<p>shoot them in the chest first and then shoot them in the balls. hell, empty a clip into the balls.</p>

<p>^then flip em over and fart on there face!</p>

<p>shoot him dcfca. it's self defense</p>

<p>And i think the question is not defending yourself on campus, but off campus.</p>

<p>And massachusettes isn't the world. Neither is new england. After all, the privatly-owned king ranch in texas is bigger than rhode island</p>

<p>Why is it that in all the war movies and cowboy movies and cop movies, very rarely does a guy get shot in the nuts? I mean you never see the sheriff and the bad guy face off on main street and they both draw and fire and one of them gets it right in the cajones.</p>

<p>this post is disturbing. are you trying to buy a gun?</p>
