The NRA Doesn't Want Public to Know Where Gun Violence Weapons Come From

Since the guns afe often stolen theg know where it came from. The gun is reported stolen and serial# goes in the NCIC database.

When guns are stolen they are often sold to a local buyer. He will keep them in storage until he has a fair number. Then he arranges a sale 1000-2000 miles away. Then guns get sold at least one more time. That is 4 sets of criminal hands minimum the gun passes through. Gun is recovered at the scene of the crime and traced back to original lawful owner.

IF a person keeps popping up as a buyer of guns used in crime, he is a straw buyer.

Its not like most guns change hands a half dozen times in legal transactions before being stolen. Even so, the only way to really catch criminal gun runners is to walk it back from the scene of the crime. That is why they launder guns like they do money. The ATF tends to suck at this and ismore fixated on citizens. Local cops can't run down multistate gun transactions. The FBI backed by judicious Federal prosecution of gun crime would produce better results.

You see the same thing in NYC and Baltimore right now. Bad guys are not affraid of being caught with an illegal gun in their possesion, which is also illegal. Your wish list won't accomplish much and I don't wish to be listed. Govt already knows who owns guns and what ammo we buy.
