A new report from UC Davis researchers finds that American gun shows are the leading source of guns used in crimes, not just in the United States, but Mexico and Canada as well.

BS!
Because when you don’t have paperwork for a gun it means it came from a gun show.
What's next, having the US National Grammar Rodeo in Toronto? :)
ROTFL!!! I'm still waiting for the same study results from Al Qaeda.
A local news TV news affiliate was reporting on this. And surprisingly, they reported that there was no data to back up the conclusions.
Gunshows are also where Mexican gangsters buy grenades, full-auto machineguns and truckloads of ammo./s
Didn’t another research study prove that global warming was the leading cause of constipation?
Data? when did that stop anyone.
You have feelings dont you, hopefully the correct ones if not there is a pill to fix that as well.
Which anti-gun group owns these people.
That is remarkable.
More lies from the academic useful idiots. There isn’t a government a$$ an academic won’t kiss or any act too base or any lie too preposterous to tell for an academic looking to score some taxpayer funded slop from the government trough.
It was remarkable, since it was an NBC affiliate. They reported the story, but they also debunked it. I call that remarkable!
Yeah all those full auto AK’s used down in Mexico by the cartels came from a U.S. gun show. Libs are like all compulsive liars. tell a lie and then forget what they lied about and trip themselves up. Hey but it’s for the kids, so it’s ok.
Gee, never saw that comming. /sarc
Gosh, could this be a thinly veiled attack on the Second Amendment?!?
/sarc
They forgot to mention white supremacy and racism.
BTW, is anyone going to the big Harrisburg show next week?
lol i know thats not true.
And they call us A$$holes? Geez!
I remember there was one rather homosexual looking guy who used to sell Nazi paraphernalia at the Miami show. Didn’t have many customers from what I recall.
I heard just anybody can walk into a gun show and pick up as many RPGs as they can carry! True story!
NOT. ::rolls eyeballs::
Armed Citizens are FREE. Unarmed Citizens are SUBJECTS!
They must be getting there before the show even opens...that sort of stuff is pretty well picked over by the time I get there (~10 a.m. for a 9 a.m. opening)
Quite a few of the actual studies out there are baloney. But this isn't even a study. It's a "report."
And surprisingly, they reported that there was no data to back up the conclusions.
Yeah, I had a look at the report, and could hardly find a single statement that wasn't anecdotal. The few statements that weren't anecdotal were just quotes of someone else's study.
Follow the Money.
Who funded the Study?
Another government funded pile of paper by a useless “professor” from Berkley south!
More stuff to put around the tomato plants!
Who funded the Study?
Three guesses,,,The Joyce Foundation, Brady or Stimulus money?
Probably Bloomberg, he is restless again!
That was his excuse. All the activity outside the show. Needless to say that there has been an existing low that with few exceptions prohibit the crossing of state lines to purchase a gun. All those Cal plates at the Reno show. He has no facts as to what they are doing there.
Data? We don’t need no stinkin’ data!
What exactly makes them “illegal transactions”? Or are we admitting the problems stem from “illegals”, who shouldn't even be in the U.S. purchasing anything?
No matter, I have a newsflash for the professor: Guns, illegal or not don't CAUSE anything. I have several that have been sitting quietly for decades. Periodically I take them for exorcise and clean and oil them and return them to their resting places. They've never once left on their own to engage in a crime spree. I know for certain, the dog would snitch on them if they did.
Perhaps the professors time would be better spent studying criminals. I have reliable information that they engage in illegal activities at a much higher rate than even politicians. Their sense of impunity, when they think no one is looking is staggering. Statistics show that 100% of firearms used in the commission of crimes has been in the possession of a criminal when the crime was committed.
Don’tcha love statistics?
Also on Chulak. And P83 470.
Who funded the “study”?
Perhaps it is just a case of “Running Soros Syndrome”, A.K.A RSS.
Unlike other open, draining sores, RSS does not respond to antibiotics. The only known cure is a strong dose of strict Constitutionalism.
Resistant cases should be exiled. Extremely resistant cases should be tried for treason, then drawn and quartered.
I could find nothing supporting the thesis of the article either in the teaser or the study (headings) itself—`American Gun Shows Fueling Crime All Over New World Order, West Division’—freely admitting that I passed through this Cali-pasture quickly, watching where I stepped.
It did remind me that deer season is coming up and my B40 rocket inventory is low. Are professors in season yet?
Who wrote that? A freshman?
He needs to go back to grade school. It would be to easy to refute the title of article much less the invented and conjured points.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (wipes eyes) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, I doubt that richly, but if that were true, then I'm sure that it would have been borne out of a desire to avoid FOSTERING AN ATMOSPHERE OF INTIMIDATION.
Or wishing to avoid establishing unreasonable barriers, ya know...?
1. Must show ID to enter Town Hall
2. Must show ID to buy firearm
3. No need to show ID to vote
No, they proved that gun shows cause global warming.
Gunshows are also where Mexican gangsters buy grenades, full-auto machineguns and truckloads of ammo./s
It’s amazing how many doctors are moonbats.
Heh, probably a couple of leftists working out of their garage but who cares, the media will run with it as if it is a valid article...that is a real problem. Actually more like a few university asshats that decided to make things up and push their agenda... Nothing that the leftists in the media won’t fall for though...
prove it!!! no sales slip no proof.
"The study state that 85% of recovered crime guns have gone through at least one private party transaction following their initial sale by a licensed retailer."
Yeah, steal a gun and sell it.
Dang, why don’t we just make crime illegal?
Zero’s ORGANIZED COMMUNITIES of Chicago, Detroit, NYC, Philadelphia, D.C., L.A., SF, Boston, etc. along with the gang bangers, illegal mayhemers, border drug terrorists, etc. don’t need gun shows to get their weapons and they’re skewing our longevity numbers by targeting our young people. U.C.Davis, take a hike.
This is just like lefty fraud Bellisile a few years ago and his stool specimen: `Arming America which was shown to be made from whole anti-2nd Amendment cloth; and also the bogus charge earlier this summer used in the talking points of a chorus of liberals: that 90% of arms seized in Mexico are from our country.
Even their `academics’ say things that would make a murder of old crows blush; they should be ashamed of themselves for misrepresenting the truth on this issue in order to pander to their paymasters and safely remain in ivory tower, mortar board/helmet defilade.
“Pretty much, and every publication by that group is about firearms, not the real causes of violence
They obviously have an axe to grind.”
Their words, not mine!
