Because when you don’t have paperwork for a gun it means it came from a gun show.

A local news TV news affiliate was reporting on this. And surprisingly, they reported that there was no data to back up the conclusions.

Gunshows are also where Mexican gangsters buy grenades, full-auto machineguns and truckloads of ammo./s

Didn’t another research study prove that global warming was the leading cause of constipation?

More lies from the academic useful idiots. There isn’t a government a$$ an academic won’t kiss or any act too base or any lie too preposterous to tell for an academic looking to score some taxpayer funded slop from the government trough.

It was remarkable, since it was an NBC affiliate. They reported the story, but they also debunked it. I call that remarkable!

Yeah all those full auto AK’s used down in Mexico by the cartels came from a U.S. gun show. Libs are like all compulsive liars. tell a lie and then forget what they lied about and trip themselves up. Hey but it’s for the kids, so it’s ok.

"The study also links gun shows to the neo-Confederacy movement and neo-Nazism."

They forgot to mention white supremacy and racism.

BTW, is anyone going to the big Harrisburg show next week?

I remember there was one rather homosexual looking guy who used to sell Nazi paraphernalia at the Miami show. Didn’t have many customers from what I recall.
