I understand.@Rocked and Loaded
Yes, we all know that.
This is because:
In USA, there is 2/a, and the right to own firearm is actually a civil right based on constitutional amendment.
In EU (and majority of the World), to own a firearm, is just a conditional legal privilege.
This is a great difference.
I was only illustrating the point that you could own a gun illegally in much of the US without anyone ever catching you since being seen using a gun in a legal way is not sufficient grounds for a police investigation.
Illegally owned guns usually don’t become an issue until a separate crime has been committed. So a criminal who robs a store will get the book thrown at him including an illegally owned gun but a man hunting with a rifle his dad left him (which could be illegal in some states) is unlikely to ever actually have an issue with the law so long as he keeps his nose clean. A game warden can check your gun for compliance with hunting regulations but they aren’t likely to do a check on it if you're not doing anything suspicious.
