Thus, gun markets can be highly local.

No where did it contradict what I said. If so, feel free to post.

So are you arguing that the problem is every gun is sold legally at some point?

I see, all too well.

It's chilling to realize just how little our rights mean to these leftist fanatics intent on pursuing their agenda, and how blithely they would brush them aside if they had the power to do so.

The founding fathers were right: Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.

No my arguement is that guns are being sold by gun shops to criminals. I wouldn't be surprised if the gun used in this crime was purchased in one of many sketchy pawn shops in that part of town.

Either way there are just way too many guns available. I don't mind gun ownership but we need to enforce laws to make sure they don't end up in the wrong hands as much as possible.

There is going to be another mass murder some day. Why not do everything possible to prevent it?

I understand what you are saying, but you still used a 1994 link, even quoted it...I'm not saying your other links are not good or revelant, but when you provide a link from 1994, quote it, get called on it, and you don't like it....then don't use a quote that states 1994.....

If it's such common knowledge in your part of town then why are they still operating ?

For someone to buy a gun from a gun shop they have to pass a backround check. If they pass the background check, they are not criminals. You really need to read up on the rules and regulations for a gun shop to sell a firearm before posting.

I wish more guns were available, all the guns I own are expensive, the supply needs to be increased so the price can come down.

Every tragedy cannot be prevented. Living in a free society has risks.

You can argue on bs if you want the fact still remains guns are being peddled around this country like candy.

I brought that up pages ago to this poster.. it's apparent that there must be some sort of a criminal underground where they can go on shopping sprees at "Sketchy" pawn shops and gun stores that must be everywhere and that is how all these legally sold illegal guns end up on the streets.
