Tell me you know nothing about US gun laws without telling me you know nothing about US gun laws. Some states have stricter laws than Switzerland and Czechia.

Not to mention the US having more than one state and open inter state borders ... which somewhat negates the "some states" line of argument.
And Europe has the Schengen area; I assume you're familiar?
Has Texas agreed to adopt the strictest gun control measures in the US sates?

I assume you understand the question re: Schengen.

Schengen allows for border crossings with no checkpoints just like US states. Which means the "different states have different laws" canard is no different than Europe. What's to stop someone from leaving Switzerland or Czechia with a firearm until they get caught?
Schengen doesn't have a Texas - Switzerland raised the bar on semi automatics to match Schengen law - it's a more uniform zone than the USofA is wrt gun law.
