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.

"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?

96,487,264 Guns owned by American Citizens were NOT used to commit a crime or KILL someone.

Armed Citizens are FREE. Unarmed Citizens are SUBJECTS!

Bulls***.

Quite a few of the actual studies out there are baloney. But this isn't even a study. It's a "report."

And surprisingly, they reported that there was no data to back up the conclusions.

Yeah, I had a look at the report, and could hardly find a single statement that wasn't anecdotal. The few statements that weren't anecdotal were just quotes of someone else's study.

“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?

I could find nothing supporting the thesis of the article either in the teaser or the study (headings) itself—`American Gun Shows Fueling Crime All Over New World Order, West Division’—freely admitting that I passed through this Cali-pasture quickly, watching where I stepped.
It did remind me that deer season is coming up and my B40 rocket inventory is low. Are professors in season yet?
