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.



What he said ...'most gun crimes are done with legally purchased
guns'...and then...'gun crimes by legal gun owners'.

I'm thinking that if I wanted to commit a crime with a gun, I wouldn't
want to use one that's traceable back to me. If I had to use one that
was traceable to me, then it would be somewhere in the Potomac when I
was finished with it.

The Chicago Tribune reports 440 murders in Chicago in 2013. You reckon
most of those were committed by 'legal gun owners'? And then throw in
Flint, New Orleans, Detroit, and Jackson. Most murders committed by
legal gun owners?



I find it hard to believe most crimes involving guns are committed by
legal gun owners but then again, I don't know what "legal" means in the
areas you mentioned.

For example, I've looked at the gun laws in South Carolina. All you
have to do is prove you are a resident and you can buy a gun. No
permit, no license, no safety course. Nothing. A permit is required if
you want to conceal carry however.

I don't think it's legal for a convicted felon to own a gun anywhere,
and I suspect (but don't know) that most gun crimes are committed by
those with prior convictions.

Well, I'd find it hard to believe that Boating All Out was actually
*wrong* about something.

Do we know what part of the country BAO is from?
