If someone is willing to buy a gun illegally, they don’t need to go out of state.

Private sales aren’t illegal, but - yes - guns are easily available (legal or not) in the United States.

[zepto → germinalphrase]

Guns are widely available to anyone who wants to break the law.

The claim that this is because people can drive to others states is false.

For everyone else, how available they are depends on where you live.

[germinalphrase → zepto]

Yes, I agree with everything your are saying. On a practical level, guns are available to anyone who wants one. Regional and city level restrictions only create a mild level of friction.

For the law abiding, that’s not true in places where you need a license just to buy one such as NYC, or in CA where most handguns and many rifles are not available.
