So it would be “illegaler” to steal a cheap gun vs. a Glock or Sig or S&W?
Actually, since stolen guns are free (sort of) how does one figure out which are cheap and which are not?
"No self-respecting gangbanger would be caught dead with a "cheap handgun." These are people who think nothing of plunking down $500-plus for the latest pair of Air Jordans. Do you think they're going to skimp on firepower? The brothas and sistas of the hood are strapped with some serious, expensive heat, like Rugers, Glocks, and Berettas. In some cases their handguns are blinged out with gold or silver plating, mother of pearl grips, and precious gems.
"Every black person in the nation knows that gangbangers largely stopped carrying "cheap handguns" way back in the 1970s. Even my 76-year-old mother knows, saying: "What's he talking about?" when I played the quote back for her on video."

I thought the President’s remark was quite apropos, and quite a concession since so many of his supporters like to claim there is a massive amount of “assault weapon” violence.
As O rightly said, there is hardly any such violence. The semi-random street “gun violence” in Chicago, and elsewhere, that we usually mean when we use the term, is almost all committed using cheap handguns.
That is a fact, and I’m unclear why we’re supposed to resent O accurately using a fact for once.
I bought a 2-shot Derringer a couple of years ago, and it was NOT “cheap”.
handguns bought legally at gun stores are not cheap.
