The United States of America is the best/easiest place in the world to own guns. It's the only place you can get a gun at a convenience store. In fact, in most states, a background check isn't required unless you're buying from a federally licensed firearm dealer.
The above is a copypaste, but it gets the point across perfectly. It's vey easy to get a gun in the USA, unlike in many other countries.
Why argue and say stupid things when there are statistics:

Looks like gun violence isn't in fact happening everywhere.
