I realize that lots of people who are anti gun or indifferent to guns don't know the laws as well as others do, but if you want real answers to your questions, it's usually better to ask them in more polite ways.

1) It's NOT so easy to buy a Glock, or any other handgun from a gun shop, pawn shop, or any other shop licensed to sell guns. The form to buy a gun requires alot of information AND if it isn't filled out EXACTLY the way the ATF likes it, they can, and usually do, revoke the dealers license. On top of that, every form that is filled out gets called in to the ATF so that the agency can run the background check. If it passes, the gun can be sold. If a gun is sold to an individual that maybe shouldn't have one, you have only your federal government to blame for it.

2) Glocks are a very common handgun used by lots of police departments across the country. Being that popular, it should be easy to discern why there are alot out there.

3) States are not required to do background checks when selling handguns. Some do on their own, but they are not required to. It is, however, FEDERAL law that requires background checks on every single handgun that is sold by a federally licensed firearm dealer.

why would you find this odd? even in states that are notoriously pro gun rights, few people actually know the laws and know that they have the right to carry. It's been hammered in to the people for so long, they think that simply carrying a gun without a permit is illegal.

Sounds to me like he might think the whole state is armed or wants to be armed.
those comments are MOST LIKELY the result of his not liking the new law removing the need for a license to carry concealed. Alot of sheriffs are not happy with the new law.
