The problem with catch all statements is that there is no single set of US gun laws. It is state dependent and it even get broken down to the county level in terms of carry.
People get the idea that in all US states you can walk into a store and walk out the next minute with a gun and no background check. Seldom do people actually research the individual cases before saying that more gun control is needed.

Genuinely curious to see the statistics on what percent or number of legally acquired firearms eventually end up being used in the commission of a crime by the lawful owner.
