In April, the daytime temperature in Montana is about 20 degrees Celsius, and the air without too much industrial pollution has a slight fragrance of pasture, which is very pleasant.

The snow in the distant Juwu Mountains began to melt, the gurgling water rushed happily in the river, and there were more traces of various small animals along the road, which was the breath of spring in Montana.

Driving on the outskirts of Helena, looking at the large green pastures and herds of cattle and sheep nearby, and then looking at the blue clear sky, the whole person felt better.

Since coming to the United States, Xiao Feng has driven more than in previous years, and the 'country on wheels' is really not covered.

Compared with China, the United States is naturally vast and sparsely populated, especially Montana, with a land area of more than 380,000 square kilometers, ranking fourth among the 50 states in the United States, but only has a population of one million.

Yaozhou, on the other hand, has a land area of only 20,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 1.2 million, which shows the huge difference between the two countries.

In Montana, it's normal for neighbors to be hundreds of meters or even a mile apart, and it's not an exaggeration to say 'desolate' that you don't necessarily encounter a car on the road for more than 10 minutes.

For the Chinese who have always liked to hang out and be busy, Montana is really not very attractive, and they prefer places like Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York.

When he first arrived at the 'Dream Ranch', Xiao Feng was not very comfortable, so he lived with Aunt Maria and his wife behind the entire huge castle, and the cowboys lived in a dormitory area a mile away from the main house.

It also took Xiao Feng a lot of time to adapt to this kind of life, and every day he mixed in the ranch and rode horses with cowboys and built a ranch, and time passed quickly.

It's just that this time Xu Mengyao and the two children came over, they were quickly depressed by this kind of life, and after spending the novelty of the first two days, they began to fall into boredom.

Yu'er baby is okay, as long as there are toys and cartoons, he is a quiet otaku, at most he is a house full of yards, just run around, but Nini is usually used to playing with Tongtong, Xiao Haoyu and other friends, in the 'Dream Ranch' there is not so much convenience; Xu Mengyao usually likes to go to the Mengyao Cafe by the lake to drink coffee after being busy, and there is nothing in the 'Dream Ranch', only to make coffee by herself.

All in all, in the quiet and remote 'Dream Ranch', not everyone can adapt to it, Xiao Feng drove them to Helena for a walk today in order to relieve the loneliness of his wife and children.

The Dream Ranch is 30 miles from Helena, which translates to about 50 kilometers in kilometers, which is a very close distance in Montana. After all, within an hour's drive, in the United States, especially Montana, is a few feet away.

The F150 is not covered, and the strong power of the V8 engine makes it like it has wings and flies to Walmart on the outskirts of Helena.

For Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, Helena, who has a population of only 20,000 or 30,000, naturally has nothing to go to, so it is better to go to the Walmart supermarket to buy some daily necessities.

As the capital of Montana, Helena's commercial status is naturally a little high, and Wal-Mart's branches cover a lot of area, Xiao Feng looks at the past at least more than 10,000 square meters, presumably the variety of goods in it must be extremely rich.

When parking in the parking lot, Xiao Feng saw a nearby shop with a gun sign, and knew that this was a very common gun shop in the United States, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

It is unbelievable to the Chinese people that the guns, ammunition, and drugs here in the United States are placed on the counter like ordinary commodities for anyone to buy, which is unimaginable in China, where gun control is extremely strict.

Private possession of a firearm is a right, not a privilege, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, and residents of all states can purchase firearms, but each state has different restrictions on the possession and use of various types of firearms: whether handguns are permitted, whether firearms registration is required, whether a license is required to purchase a firearm, and whether concealment licenses are issued.

The United States is the first and only country in the world where citizens have universal gun rights, and 44 of the 50 states in the United States currently have provisions in their constitutions that explicitly protect citizens' right to bear arms.

At present, the United States has the largest number of privately owned guns in the world, with an average of 9 guns for every 10 people, and guns are everywhere!

The Second Amendment is undoubtedly the strongest cornerstone of the nation's gun culture, and it has remained unshakable in the debate.

Even after the 2007 University of Virginia shooting, which shocked the world, the Second Amendment to the American Constitution showed no signs of abating, but rather of further consolidation.

The most notable example is the June 26, 2008 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that U.S. citizens have the right to possess firearms for personal use, marking the first time in the history of the United States that the Supreme Court has made a clear ruling on whether an individual has the right to own a firearm. At the same time, the ruling overturned the 32-year gun ban in Washington, the capital of the United States, which has poor security.

In 2011, the FBI received 16.5 million requests for quick criminal background checks from gun dealers, the highest number since the statistics system was put into use.

In addition, there are many channels in the United States that open the door of "convenience" for people who are unwilling or unable to buy guns through the normal procedures, and it is no exaggeration to call the United States a "paradise for guns."

In the United States, the sanctity of private property and the legal possession of firearms by private individuals made it possible to shoot intruders on private territory without liability.

This kind of situation is unimaginable in Huaxia, after Xiao Feng came to the 'Dream Ranch', he also found that the cowboys are basically a long gun and a short gun as standard, and the old Bob even has an automatic weapon license, and the collection room at home displays this class machine gun!

…………

"Wife, you and Aunt Maria take the children in first, and I'll take a look at the gun shop!" For a man, weapons and speed are always indelible marks in his bones.

Xiao Feng had tried the high speed of a supercar, and now that he has the opportunity to experience the charm of weapons, he naturally doesn't want to miss it, anyway, his wife and children can spend a lot of time in the supermarket.

"Go!" Xu Mengyao glanced at her husband and did not object.

has been married for almost three years, Xu Mengyao naturally knows her husband very well, he rarely asks for anything, but he is an extremely determined person.

Now that his heart has been attracted by the gun shop, even if he follows them into the supermarket, it is an absent-hearted rhythm, Xu Mengyao has already learned it many times. At this time, Xu Mengyao was a little depressed, and she spent tens of thousands of dollars to give her husband a shotgun, but she never wanted to stimulate Xiao Feng's enthusiasm for weapons.

"Thank you, wife!" Xiao Feng kissed Xu Mengyao on the face, told the two children to be obedient, and rushed into the gun store next door to Walmart.

…………

Walking into the gun shop, Xiao Feng suddenly felt that his eyes were not enough, and those guns and ammunition that could only be seen in newspapers, magazines, film and television programs were placed on the shelves like ordinary commodities, within reach.

In the United States, it is not easy to officially apply for a gun license, you need to go to the police station to fill out the application form, submit the relevant documents, and provide at least 3 American citizens with letters of guarantee.

In addition, it is necessary to check the fingerprints on file, be interviewed by the police, and then be reviewed by the FBI to confirm that there is indeed no criminal record and will not pose a danger to society before obtaining a gun license.

Due to the strict censorship of the police, it takes about one year from application to receipt of a gun license, even whether there has been a quarrel with the wife, whether there is a habit of drinking, and whether there is a kind attitude to others. After obtaining a gun license, you must go to the market to buy a gun within one month, and register the gun number at the police station as soon as possible after buying the gun, and then complete the formalities.

Applying for a gun license is so cumbersome, so many people, especially those who have difficulty applying for a license, will use other "shortcuts" to get guns.

Visiting a gun show in the U.S. requires only a $10 ticket to enter. A typical gun show has more than 1,000 booths, with guns from all over the world to choose from, ranging in price from $100 to thousands of dollars. Gun buyers can buy guns by showing their driver's licenses, which is as convenient as paying for groceries at the farmers' market.

With the gradual popularity of online shopping, many American citizens have become more likely to buy guns online, and only need to pick up the goods from licensed sellers in the state.

In order to increase sales, many sellers have simplified the review aspect, as long as the buyer can show a U.S. driver's license and social security number, they can check through the FBI network and have no criminal record to sell all kinds of firearms and weapons to consumers.

As a result, gun shops all over the United States have become a favorite among many gun enthusiasts, and many weapons are available as long as they have money.

Xiao Feng, who came to the gun shop for the first time, was also warmly welcomed!

"Hello sir!" As soon as he entered the gun shop, the enthusiastic clerk greeted him and said to Xiao Feng with a smile: "As long as we have an American driver's license and a green card, we can buy all kinds of long and short weapons, and even tourists can test their guns at the shooting range in the back!"

Hearing the clerk's introduction without any sense of disobedience, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, once upon a time, guns actually became ordinary commodities, which would never be possible in China.

"I have a green card, I usually live in a ranch, and I need to buy some guns for self-defense!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "I rarely played with guns before, is there anything to recommend?"

Xiao Feng had a lot of fun playing with shotguns in the ranch some time ago, but compared to various standard weapons, shotguns were significantly less attractive.

In particular, Xiao Feng used to be a loyal fan of CS, but now he sees many classic weapons in the gun shop, and he is even more itchy!R1152
