“No registration, no licensing, no restrictions on guns . . . ”
What planet does this person live on? No restrictions on gun ownership at all? Not even convicted insane murderers should be prevented from having guns?
I will wait here quietly for DG to make a comment about the commenter being stupid, not knowing what the FACTS are, etc.

PHM … Have you been living under a rock for the past decade? Similar availability also applies to machine guns and mortars. They can be bought anonymously over the Internet and from Boy Scouts on street corners …
“Not even convicted insane murderers should be prevented from having guns?”
True again; even Teddy Kennedy had an armed contingent …
“… and the person who answered the door flashed a gun at him.”
Or was he just happy to see him? Somehow the choice of the word “flashed” suggests that she has more than a generic dislike of firearms.

Maybe this “Esther” person has a point. Mark “crazy eyes” Dayton apparently has legally obtained guns, despite his history of alcoholism and depression. Helps to have gone to the right school I suppose.
