Others indicated using “corrupt cops” who seize guns then “put them back on the street.” and there it is...
It’s the car trunk loophole.
Criminals buy guns on the street? Imagine that!?!
/s
More gun control laws will prevent that, right?
-— The inmates made clear they do not walk into gun stores to buy guns. -—
I now have to rethink my entire worldview.
Governments waste untold million$ (maybe billion$) conducting studies to find out what every American with half a brain already knows.
Coming up next: another study that the MSM will NOT publish.
...and Sports!
Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s... CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!!!

I am gobsmacked: the gun laws don't work??
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
Gun control was NEVER about reducing crime. It has always been about disarming the law abiding populace so that when the socialists go to their extreme positions there will not be any way for people who have been pushed beyond their tolerance for being robbed and controlled to resist. People like 0baba and his accomplices in the media and government look at governments like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union and don't see the evils we do. They see their wonderful wet dream of total control over the masses. They see that if they pass enough restrictive unconstitutional laws they can force us to follow their silly dreams - green energy, no guns, no cars, "healthy" food only, no houses in suburbia, public transit only, etc.
They know that if we can shoot back they won't be able to do this hence gun control
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Guns are bought on the street BECAUSE guns are a common items taken during home invasions.
The left knows this and does nothing about it. They deliberately choose to leave guns in the hands of violent criminals, and seek to take them from non-violent citizens.
I scream and shout EVERYtime a stupid media or leftist talks about the gun show loophole.
THERE IS NO GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE.
If anyone buys a gun from a vendor at a gun show there is a background check done.
But private individuals can sell guns to individuals including at gun shows.
Maybe there should be a background check done even in private sales
but I am guessing almost NO guns sold in private sales have been used in muders or mass killings
I hate to be the one that breaks it to people, but, folks who have booths and sell firearms at gun shows are big-time profilers.
At the big, and I mean huge! gun shows in Reno, there are always “people of color” from California trying to purchase guns, often a girlfriend or wife, someone with a Nevada drivers license...someone without a record.
The booth people have told me that they often refuse to sell to someone that they think, ah, might not be legit.
This entire “gun show loophole” is a hoax.
The Inconvenient Truth
A lot of them also just have their girlfriends (the ones with no criminal records themselves) buy the guns. Or if you are an illegal immigrant who has stolen someone else’s identity, then use that.
They had to do a study to figure this out?
