Getting a gun is getting easier. We discovered private sellers on social media trying to either trade their guns or sell them for money. Also, it's not illegal.
Everyone we talked to seemed concerned over the situation because practically anyone can offer to buy that gun.
"They're probably doing it unlicensed, unwarranted, unsupervised," said Fort Myers resident David Dubouse.
He doesn't like guns, doesn't own guns, and hates what they're capable of, but Peter Babock wouldn't take your second amendment rights away.
"I would not deny anybody the right to own a gun as long as it was done legally," he said.
The law says it's legal to sell firearms on social media. |

This is not how criminals get guns. The don't buy them at gun shows and they don't buy them though social media.
They get them by theft, straw purchase, or on the street from other criminals.
Restrictions proposed by the anti gun liberals will only affect law abiding gun owners. |
