It's by design.
A lot of effort went into it and it's a lot of effort to maintain such systems. You need PR along with movie studios, politicians on local, country, and global levels, lobbyists, para-gov agencies (like police unions), judges, etc. It's a business full of people that do what they can to advance it.

The last thing the working classes of the world needs is for the owner class to have a monopoly on violence.
Which is solved by ... cartels? Private gun ownership? Terrorist/freedom-fighter groups?
Warlords have monopolies on violence and even that is through terror, not actual power.
The working class is just always so much larger than the ruling class (if it weren't, there wouldn't be an inequality problem to begin with).
It's just wrong to think that USA only supports righteous freedom fighters.
Restrictive gun laws, but live in North America? Just hop on over to the Ugunted Guns of Agundica and get as many as you want!
The international community should probably do what the US did to set the drinking age to 21, but for guns.

How is that supposed to work? The international community doesn’t pay for US infrastructure.
The USA are a huge market for handguns and keep for example the European companies in business.
Mexico doesn’t really check vehicles coming into the country either. That’s something they could start doing. I know I’ve only been stopped one time out of maybe 20 but granted I’m not transporting a firearm.
Downvotes for the truth i guess. Obviously there’s way too many guns but if you don’t even check at the entrance then that’s definitely an area for improvement
This is the plot of Iron Man
Wait until dude learns about the long and brutal history of colonization...
King Leopold of Belgium? Well he sounds like a jolly, friendly old fellow!
