Guns in America: How Criminals Might Be Purchasing Weapons Easily, No Questions Asked - ABC News
I wish I still had the presentation I did for a communications GEC I took back in my college days on gun control. Had a lot of great sources. Anyway there's one. So the most common way that criminals attain guns is from a friend or family member, which is NOT illegal in many parts of this country. First time offenders may very well walk into a gun store celegorm. They get their first gun that way. Totally plausible. Gun shows... no background checks? sound familiar? yeah another legit way. Finding objective stats on this sort of thing is hard. You have a bunch of websites from liberals only presenting some evidence to sway people to their side and the opposite from conservatives. But think logically? Do you honestly think most criminals are going to spend 5x the retail price of a gun. You think the poor guy coming to rob you with his pistol has the money to buy said pistol for 5x the price? no. As for mass shooters usually they aren't criminals... they're people who are deeply disturbed who somehow slip under the radar and don't get checked. Or they take a family member's gun. Its simple. That's what Adam Lanza did. The joker killer in aurora? Yeah he wasn't a convicted felon. Just a psychotic maniac apparently. And the relatively recent killing at the navy yard here in DC by a man with known issues and violence problems.
