He wasn't allowed to keep his guns, he's being charged for that also.

So no enforcement until two-year-olds nearly kill themselves, got it.

He wasn't caught until his daughter nearly killed herself.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. Why was he able to acquire firearms?

Your guess is as good as mine, but there aren't exactly hard to get.

Right, so that's the problem. That's why. That's the answer to my question.

Because believe it or not, gun laws don't stop criminals from doing criminal shit. They only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals will do as they please, some word of paper don't stop them.

If only enforcement were a thing.

Also, if there weren't more guns than people in the country, it wouldn't be so easy to get one.
