A recent study that was conducted by the University of Chicagos Crime Lab has learned that Chicago criminals do not acquire their guns from gun shops, gun shows or the internet.
The study examined and interviewed inmates in Chicagos Cook County Jail who are either facing current gun charges, or have a background consisting of firearms related convictions.
The study learned that virtually zero criminals have ever used the internet or gun shows, because that method is easily traceable. Its much safer for a criminal to acquire firearms on the streets where theyre harder to keep track of, and thats most criminals method of choice.
Furthermore, University of Chicago Crime lab co-director, Harold Pollack, said that criminals were less concerned about getting caught by the cops than being put in the position of not having a gun to defend themselves and then getting shot.

No Way!
cripes, I wonder how much this one cost ?
Way....
I’m Shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Somebody spent more than five dollars to study this?
No really? Somebody did?
Well, this is simple to fix: just outlaw street guns. I’m sure that will end the trade in illegal guns. You know, just like how laws against drugs stopped the drug dealers from smuggling in hundreds of tons of drugs across the border every day.
“Gun control” is only meant for only law-abiding Americans. The commie ‘RATS know that there is nothing they can do about criminals and insane DemocRATS getting gun. If they take them away from law-abiding Americans, which they think will be easy, it will at least make it look like the ‘RAT aholes are doing something for their low information, low I.Q. type voters.
I could’ve told them that, for free.
WOW! A NEWSFLASH from CAPTAIN OBVIOUS
Gun control is kinda like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.
Yup! Like Mark Levin say, “What are you gonna do?! ROUND ‘EM UP?! LOL! They can’t round up 11 million illegal alien invaders but they can “round up” who knows how many millions of guns. LOL! Clowns.
This story kinda gave me an eureka moment. Like a light going off in my brain. I think I have come up with a way to curb “gun violence” in Chicargo and other like mannered cites.
Since ‘Chicago criminals do not acquire their guns from gun shops, gun shows or the internet’, all the city counsel has to do is pass a law requiring all stolen and otherwise illegal gun owners must have a background check. Anyone caught with an illegal gun that does not have a paper stating that they had passed a firearm thief background check will be issued a very stern warning.
THAT should take care of the problem. Murder rates will tumble. Or something.
Maybe we should end the sending of drug money back to Mexico. The money should be earmarked as a earnings from wages received from a legitimate employer.
lol. that’s like “Moon can be seen at night” simple. :)
How much government grant money did they waste to uncover this tidbit of info?”
Probably close to the same amount that was wasted trying to find out why a lesbian “married” to another lesbian is generally overweight.
Anyone of us could have, but they probably spent 975.582 duodecillion dollars on the study. What A holes these suck bags are.
I serriously am NOT surprised. Where is the ballernia?
UC Crime lab is not going afer BAmmy?
