“Illegal transactions were often conducted entirely out in the open,” said Garen Wintemute, professor of emergency medicine at UC Davis School of Medicine and a leading researcher on firearm violence who authored the report. “The sense of impunity among sellers and purchasers in these cases was remarkable.”

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?

It’s amazing how many doctors are moonbats.

Thanks for your post, “Perhaps the professor’s time would be better spent studying criminals.

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.

My guns have never been demonically possessed. Maybe it's your brand of ammo...
