Yes, high level gun crime by the gun (usually obtained stolen or
black market) owning criminal.

Not by the law abiding citizen..


Lots of guns are bought at "loophole" gun shows in states like Virginia,
and in the transactions no identities or paperwork change hands. Too bad
the trails of those guns cannot be properly followed.
