PDF: ATF NFCTA vol2 part3, Crime Guns Recovered and Traced
ATF traced 70.2% (1 million firearms) of submitted ‘crime guns’ to having originally been purchased from a dealer. An additional 22.6% (⅓ million) were from pawnbrokes. [page 7]
In 12.2% of the cases [page 26] purchaser and possessor was the same.
One or more guns are stolen in 63% of household burglaries.
From conclusion page 41:
Traced crime guns typically originate from the legal supply chain of manufacture (or import), distribution, and retail sale. Crime guns may change hands a number of times after that first retail sale, and some of those transactions may be a theft or violate one or more regulations on firearm commerce.
What democracy? The will of US citizens have practically no factor in which laws pass, big money on the other hand…
That being said, congressmen & president are somewhat democratically elected - and voting is thrice as influential if you’re in a low population state!.
So you can influence if big money A’s laws get passed, or big money C’s (big money B gets their way regardless).
