In my experience it is quite easy to buy a gun. The reason people were surprised is because they thought they could just go buy a gun, when really you need to apply for a licence and that takes a while to process. But, when you think about it, for what a gun is (a lethal machine made for killing that shoots tiny lead particles at high speeds), they are very easy to obtain.
Blue, i hate to say it yet again, but you are getting fed the wrong info again. As a person who has bought many firearms throughout my life, you CAN NOT buy automatic assault weapon even at gun shows, they are illegal without applying for a Class III with the BATF which is a very very extensive background check and are now forever in their database. It is also illegal to convert a semi automatic gun into a fully automatic weapon no matter where you buy it.
A bump stock absolutely does not convert a gun into a full auto gun, it still only fires one round per trigger pull period. A bump stock was made to replace bump shooting which is a method of letting the gun recoil "bump" the gun back and forth to get the next trigger pull. Im with you on bump stocks, its for the lazy. I can bump shoot any semi auto rifle by hand.

I would say anyone who has experience and practices with their guns can do the same, the method has been around for decades and its a good way to miss what your aiming for a waist a lot of ammo lol.. Some call it fun

I though you said you dont watch CNN. Where are you getting your misinformation?
Maybe your starting to see that those of us who actually legally own firearms are very well versed in the law and we follow it. Its not us with legally obtained weapons you need to worry about. People who have illegal firearms obviously dont care about the law, so what good will new laws do if they dont follow the current ones
