    But an article about how guns are used and that they exist is not the same as selling them. I can see the argument that you should not even report on them because it makes them more popular, but at least in the US, guns are pretty permeated through society

      I think it’s more akin to a “get guns ez pz” article. Even if most people can get them, a lot of people don’t because it’s a hassle. But to be fair, if it’s public information then heck, it was only a matter of time until there was a website making it ez pz.

      That’s not this article’s fault. And some important context I managed to miss at first :/

        Still very US centric, but guns are incredibly easy to get here. I live in a “progressive” state and I don’t even have to take a single class to get one, or get a concealed carry permit
