I do find it amusing that guys like JPS rail on for years about the
handful of "lawful gun owners" who shoot someone but are strangely
silent about the 11,000 illegal gun owners who kill people every year.
Then he blames it on the lack of more gun laws.

I suppose the government could just ban guns. That worked so well on
drugs.
Hell, why don't we just pass a law that makes murder illegal ...
problem solved.

11,000 illegal gun owners who kill people. Cite please.

Guns being sold in massive quantities without controlled distribution
and stuipd owners who do not lock them up is half the reason why it's
so easy for criminals to get their hands on a gun.

Most of them are stolen from "legal gun owners" from what I
understand.

Make up your mind, first you question whether people who committed the
murders did them with illegally owned guns, then you say it is just
because we made them so easy to steal.

You are just swinging in the dark now.

Where's your cite? 11,000 murders annually commited by "illegal gun
owners" is what I'm looking for.

Just tell me where you got that and stop deflecting.

I had a statistic from CDC that had the gun murders well above 11,000
and assumed if these are drug/gang/innercity acquaintance murders, the
gun was illegally owned ... since you can't own a gun in most big
cities

I can drill down on that number if you want.

Unfortunately the FBI does not even agree with the CDC so there are
probably not that many murders at all.

And I would assume that a good many of those murders came at the hands
of people who owned the murder weapon legally.

Where can't you own a gun in a big city? I thought they were legal in
all cities???
