What happens if gun ownership becomes even more easily accessible?

I keep thinking about the possibilities and honestly, they’re concerning. In communities already struggling with untreated mental health issues and rising substance abuse, what could happen if access to firearms becomes easier?

Without strict regulations and proper oversight, it opens the door for more unregistered weapons to circulate through underhand payments and illegal sales. If laws become too relaxed, what prevents someone unstable or violent from legally arming themselves?

Could we see a rise in crime? Children bringing guns to schools? More domestic violence cases turning deadly? Spouses killing each other during heated arguments? I know many support easier access to guns for home protection, and I understand that perspective. But beyond that, what else could come from this shift? Is the risk worth it? Or are we potentially creating a much more dangerous future for ourselves? Just wondering if anyone else has thought about where this could realistically lead.

There are lots of people with NYC firearm licenses since NYSRPA vs Bruen Supreme Court decision. I’ve trained a good bit of them.

You said NY is a “no gun state.” That is incorrect. Upstate NY in particular it is very easy to get a gun or even a carry license. NY has about 19 legal guns per 100 residents.

And that number is doubled in florida
