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.

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...
"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!
In other news, a study from the Still Thinking Foundation found that employees of CBS News are liars. Fake but true, indeed!
BS!”
UC Davis is about as liberal as you can get in California.
What about guns STOLEN from homes, stores, etc?
Bet me that those are used in crimes!!!
No, it is true that private parties incidentally buying or selling a gun for their own collection don't need to show ID's. You know, EXACTLY THE SAME RULES FOR PRIVATE PARTY SALES NOT AT A GUN SHOW! These guys are ignorant of the law, and yet they still expect us to listen to their conclusions as if they meant something.
- Mark Twain
Good grief. What a bunch of illogical crap. The lefties just keep going back to that same old dry well.
I assure you sir, that as an android, I was designed not to stink. I have built in nano cleansers that automatically remove any odors known to be unpleasant to humans.
It just seems like everything we do is just killing mother planet. I’ll never go to another one again! (snicker)
Didn’t you forget the /Sarc tag?
Thanks for your post, “Perhaps the professor’s 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 have been in the possession of a criminal when the crime was committed.
Dontcha love statistics?”
Yeah, love the hell out of ‘em. The good professor could not prove exactly who it was, but he swears he saw a young lady at the Reno Gun Show drive away from the parking lot headed down Kitske Lane driving a tank she purchased with her credit card. To his credit he did say that those watching this daring event were evenly mixed between those who were applauding and those who were just taking gas.
