Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid?

That'd be a long bridge.

This is a misconception. It's not expensive to build the bridge, it's just prohibitive to move Alaska down there especially while changing its border projection neatly.

We tried. Canada kept getting in the way.

Because America doesn't have enough money to build the bridge they are saving it to get 6 trillion luxury cars and houses /s

Yes.
But unrelated to this. Which is silly; just do a ferry, dumkopf.

I have to mail my glovebox gun to myself when I drive through Canada because they hate freedom.

If you keep a long gun with you, as long as it doesn't hit their 10,000 J (7375 ft-lbs) muzzle energy limit --- and if it's in your glovebox, I assume that whatever you have isn't doing that --- and doesn't hit their specific restrictions on upper receivers, you're probably okay.
A NATO 5.56 mm rifle round looks like it has a muzzle energy of about 1.8 kJ.
That'd let you carry an elephant gun.
If you want a semi-auto rifle...goes looking
Looks like they exist in 500 Auto Max.

I imagine that one of those would be okay. Looks like the ammunition is sold in Canada.
EDIT: If you want something that you can shoot one-handed, maybe a short bullpup rifle with a barrel of at least 470mm (~18.5 in), which is apparently their "handgun"/"not-handgun" divider.

A very modest and reasonable proposal

The have a ferry system called the Alaska Marine Highway System but for some dumb reason they leave out of Washington state in the northwest.

Just more governmental waste!

I wonder what it would cost, assuming it was possible, to build a bridge to Hawaii.
About 2-4 trillion and it would technically be almost impossible to build.

I understand that this is just a shitpost, but the scaling here is crazy
Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas -

The Rockies did too

That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It's likely not feasible, sadly.
I'm glad I checked the comments because I was going to point out the same hypothetical issue lol

Alaska is more than twice the size of TexasNow that you mention it, the projection is unusual. Is this the map they use in Texas to make it look bigger?
