Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
From a DOJ study released this month
https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/suficspi16.pdf
An estimated 287,400 prisoners had possessed a
firearm during their offense. Among these, more than
half (56%) had either:
stolen it (6%),
found it at the scene of the crime (7%), or
obtained it off the street or from the underground market (43%).
Most of the remainder (25%) had obtained it from a family
member or friend, or as a gift. Seven percent had
purchased it under their own name from a licensed
firearm dealer.

Re: Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
Wait a minute, wait a minute here. Are you suggesting that criminals don't obey the law?

Re: Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
They need to pass a law making it illegal for criminals to use/possess stolen firearms while committing crimes.

Re: Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
But...but...that ain't fair. You can't always tell that a gun has been stolen. And....and...criminals are afraid to ask police, cause police don't treat criminals nice.
C'mon....let's be reasonable here.There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

You gun lovers are so fucking stupid it hurts.
Once we ban all your precious guns and make you melt them down to make a monument to honor David Hogg, there won't BE any guns to steal, and there will be no more crime, or murders!

Re: Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
So we make everyone feel good by calling them illegal guns, rather than guns obtained illegally. One places the illegal activity on the gun, prompting oh-so-socially conscious officials to enact laws to protect us from them durn criminal guns; the other properly places the illegal activity on criminals, who we shouldn't blame, of course, since they might feel bad about themselves...
Go Hogg wild - grind 'em up!!!Marty near God's Country. Making good people defenseless doesn’t make bad people harmless.

Re: Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
It appears that 7% of the criminals are dumber than the remaining 93%.

Re: Most guns used by criminals were illegally obtained
They should actually enforce straw purchases and or, make it harsher to not report lost/stolen guns. (Not sure how to balance the last part)
