See Universal Background Checks would put a complete stop to this activity. Right? Uh, no.

[Red Badger]

DOH(J)...................

[antidemoncrat]

And if all law abiding citizens are disarmed the government will be just as successful at keeping illegal guns from flooding the borders as they are keeping illegal drugs and illegal aliens out...oh, wait a minute.

[LouAvul]

Idiotic statement. Idiotic because anybody, anybody with more than two functioning IQ points has known this ..... forever. Criminals don't purchase the tools of their trade through legal channels. Never have. Never will.

[G Larry]

Liberals know the criminals are already on their side.

They want to disarm honest Americans to better subjugate them.

[Sacajaweau]

Our famed DOJ makes headlines with brilliant conclusion on criminals and their guns.

[mass55th]

Or through Obama’s gun-running program.

[I want the USA back]

Yes, and the left has absolutely no intention of taking these guns out of the hands of violent criminals. They DO plan to take guns from honest, non-violent citizens.

This is done with full knowledge and awareness, and is their intention.

[Bob434]

the goal of this report is to focus not on the fact that a certain % get them from the streets- but that a ‘significant %’ get them from friends or relatives-

Most of the remainder (25%) had obtained it from a family member or friend, or as a gift.”

You can bet that is these remaining 25% that the left are looking into - They will no doubt play this as a ‘If we just got rid of guns in the hands of homeowners in America, 25% less crimes would be committed’

The left are relentless in their efforts to deny us our 2’nd amendment upheld inalienable rights

[Herman Ball]

Folks could well be surprised where most of these type comes come from if it is as I suspect.

[cyclotic]

There’s a bill in the Maryland General Asylum to ban possession of so called “Ghost Guns” which are built by the owners and have no serial numbers.

I wonder just how many such firearms were used in crimes.

Zero maybe?

[Cold Heart]

Most cars stolen are used to commit other crimes and then dumped.

[Carriage Hill]

First time I’ve seen this truism in print.

[tiki]

Wow! I don’t think anyone knew that! >s<

“When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” Has been around for decades.

[SanchoP]

Criminals buy their guns the same place they buy their drugs.

[rktman]

Well no doubt you didn’t get the memo stating that with universal background checks no bad guys will EVER get guns again. No really. So perhaps the new saying should be:

When universal background checks are put in place, only outlaws will have guns. ?

[Mr. Mohasky]

What they do not say is whether they were taken with or without knowledge from said family member or friend, however if it was gifted would you not have to register if it is in fact a hand gun?

[Georgia Girl 2]

You mean they weren't bought at the gun store? 😯

[rktman]

I found some that were still there and had not wandered off to commit heinous acts.
