I don’t know how it can be said guns used to be more accessible than today. They didn’t have big box stores on every corner back in ‘75

Let me help you:
1934 NFA
1938 FFA
1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act
1968 GCA
1986 FOPA
1988 Undectable Firearms Act
1990 Guns-Free School Zone Act
1993 "Brady Bill"
Prior to all of these, mass shootings were virtually non-existent, yet all of these laws massively impacted the ability of your average citizen to purchase and own firearms.
Yet mass shootings increased exponentially after all of these laws were passed.
It's almost like the firearm isn't the issue.....but someone like you will never see that. You are incapable of understanding it's not the tool purely because of your politics.

Well I think what he means is that they were cheaper and although easily accessible today. Decades ago, even in liberal states, you could easily purchase guns.
Now it's regional. Only in the south and parts of the west is it easy to purchase a firearm.
