I never said that. I said the opposite. Most gun crimes are done with
legally purchased guns. Stolen guns are a very small percentage.
You've mistaken me for Basskisser.

OK perhaps but what are you calling "gun crimes". Are you talking
about acquaintance killings or are you talking about drug killings,
robberies gone bad and gang violence?

Gun crimes by legal gun owners.

I would sure like to see some proof that most gun crimes are committed
by legal gun owners.

Define "legal" gun owners.

I think that's relatively easy:

Any person who is legally entitled to own a gun, and using a gun that
they legally own (not stolen or borrowed without permission).

BOA is playing with words. Virtually all guns are initially legally purchased. However, I've seen no evidence that most gun crimes are committed by legal gun owners with their legally purchased guns. That's BS.

Maybe he can post a cite that supports his claim. I've looked. Can't
find any.
