Anti-gunners Ignore the Obvious, Lamely Try to Blame Gun Sales for Rise in Homicide Rates (legal, drug)

Last week, two gun control advocates – who described themselves as a “crime analyst” and a “data scientist” -- published an article in the anti-gun publication The Atlantic blaming the 2020 spike in homicide rates on that years’ surge in gun sales from federally licensed dealers (FFLs).
In other words, they want readers to believe that Americans were buying guns from FFLs and then quickly turning around and using them to kill other people.
This is a remarkable assertion for several reasons.
First, the buyers by definition were NOT found to be prohibited from firearm possession by the legally-mandated federal background check. That is, the system produced no disqualifying information that the buyers had serious histories of crime, drug abuse, or mental health adjudications, among other prohibiting factors.
Second, it is a historical fact that criminals who use guns rarely get them directly from FFLs. We know this from repeated studies sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Third, no evidence has emerged that formerly law-abiding people, specifically, are suddenly committing homicides at higher rates.

Gotta love lefties! Not
