Speaking as an American.  Yes, is is all too common.  No, they are not
low
powered guns. You can find anything from high powered hunting rifles,
shotguns, revolvers and automatic pistols.   These are not some grocery
store variety, these are the real things.  Wal-Mart, a store that is the
same as K-mart except a different color, just recently stopped selling
handguns, when a patron purchased a gun at their store and 30 minutes
later
killed a few people.  Welcome to America.  Its our constitutional right
to
"keep and bear arms" and kill anyone who pisses us off.   We only kill
20,000 people a year with them.  I'm not particularly anit-gun either,
but
I live here and it makes me sick.
