“If the criminals aren’t stealing the guns then how are they getting them?”

Straw buyers, criminals that haven’t yet been convicted of a felony.

“Self-defense can be an important crime deterrent”
Especially an important deterrent against the government.

[Little Ray]

The meme should be “Gun control - a failure for over a century!”

Just like “Restraining orders” don’t restrain anyone from doing anything, if they so choose.

Buying them from someone who bought them from someone who stole them 5 years earlier.

"Liberating" it from the body of a gang-banger they just shot.

[Wonder Warthog]

That is either it or one similar. Same authors for sure.

Is why a lot of women now carry. Restraining order’s are a joke.

If the criminals aren’t stealing the guns then how are they getting them?

Good question.

This is from the study:

But prohibited individuals may obtain firearms without background checks through unlicensed sellers at gun shows and private sales or through straw purchases.

While I think that criminals would obviously begin stealing guns if the methods above weren't available, this is troubling.

This gives the left ammo (if you will) to call for "Comprehensive Background Checks". These checks, of course, will lead to a more developed system of gun registration than they already have in place.

Registration leads directly to confiscation.

While I believe that guns should be easily available to those with good intentions, what is a good way to weed out the bad guys?

I guess that's the million dollar question.

Sell 500 bucks worth of rock on the corner and your covered. Probly get a gun in trade.

This irks me to no end. Why in the wide world of sports does the ebook of a document we the People paid for cost $31?

When was this study first released?

[FreedomPoster]

The classic gun free zone video PSA.

Oh yeah, I remember that one.

99 out of 100 criminals agree! they prefer unarmed victims........

—
Cleverly worded but obviously untrue.

The claim that 1 out of 100 would prefer to face an armed victim is obviously there for rhetorical reasons effect.
