Pro-gun people always seem to forget this fact.
The manufacturer of the gun can't just throw these out to the general public, right? A licensed dealer has to have their hand on them, right?
So, how do they ultimately get into the hands of the criminals? Theft, for one. And if people didn't have them they couldn't get stolen. And legal out of state sales is another. Ruthless dealers, also is another way.
But at some point, all guns that criminals have were at one point purchased legally. |
