Most of them are either stolen, bought from someone else who stole them or bought them, or are borrowed or taken from family members.Apparently today is Stupid Poll Day. Not a manner of whether they will follow gun control laws or they don't --- NRA Sucker.
But if they're guilty of a felony and can't go to Armslist or any of a dozen other sites or a gun show in around 22 states and buy from an unlicensed seller .. it will make it tougher on them to find their preferred implement of destruction.
If it's already so hard for them to obtain firearms in Chicago for example, why are there so many shootings there? You do know that the majority of firearms that criminals commit an offense with, are not purchased legally, right?
Most of them are either stolen, bought from someone else who stole them or bought them, or are borrowed or taken from family members. They seldom even practice with them or purchase ammunition, just using whatever shit ammo came with the gun.
Let me use another example: Illicit drugs are illegal, right? Yet there are more drug overdoses in this country, than ever before. Isn't it primarily the left who says that decriminalizing drugs will solve the problem?
Part of the point of reducing the number of guns in this country is exactly this. The less guns legally owned, the less are available to beg, borrow or steal from others. The vast majority of guns used in crimes are not legally owned, but were legally purchased once in their histories. I believe if a gun is stolen from you and you don't report it, or if you transfer a gun illegally, you should be held equally responsible for any any crime committed with it. That would slow things down.Apparently today is Stupid Poll Day. Not a manner of whether they will follow gun control laws or they don't --- NRA Sucker.

Because people in Chicago can drive about 45 minutes across the border into Indiana or Wisconsin and buy whatever they please.
Agree with you that most are borrowed or stolen. But that doesn't mean that universal BG checks won't save lives.
As for illicit drugs - the primary problem is big pharma who spent billions flooding the market and the physicians who prescribed them.
Bullshit. How are 16 year old kids going to Indiana and buying pistols legally? How is anyone going across a state line purchasing a firearm legally? You have to reside in the state in order to purchase a gun.
The Journal of Preventive Medicine did a study of inmates in prison. The study showed that only 3 percent of them purchased their firearm from a gun store. You might want to read it because you might actually learn something..
Study: Most Chicago Criminals Attain Guns Illegally
Of course they're not buying from gun stores. Gun stores have to run BG checks. Duh?
As for the 16 year old kids? Columbine killers Klebold and Harris used a straw buyer to get theirs from an unlicensed dealer at a gun show with no BG check.
And it depends on the state as to whether one must be a resident of that state. Not at a gun show from an unlicensed dealer they don't. The only thing that seller needs to do is verify their age.
You guys are denying loopholes that ya gotta be wearing blinders not to see!
