[QUOTE]Originally posted by buckstalker: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by raybond: [qb] How Criminals Get Guns: In Short, All Too Easily By Don Terry Published: March 11, 1992 Sign In to E-Mail Print Single-Page In one sad neighborhood here, where funerals for young men and boys are now commonplace, people say the "Gun Man" drives through the streets, selling pistols from the back of a light-blue van. Not far away in a violent patch of Chicago's South Side, Federal agents arrested a different man, a licensed gun dealer, on charges of selling weapons illegally to undercover officers in dark alleys and crumbling garages. Before he was caught, the authorities say, he sold hundreds of firearms to gang members and anyone else with fistfuls of dollars. In yet another part of the city a gang leader, who has three children and even more gunshot scars, sits sipping a soda on a rainy night. Calling the city "infected with guns," he explains how easy it is to buy one, no questions asked, at the gun shows held almost every weekend on the city's suburban edge. An Unending Supply The river of illegal weapons running through the streets of Chicago, as elsewhere, is fed by many tributaries. Those who help legally made guns flow into illegal hands include a small minority of crooked gun dealers, gunrunners who bring in weapons bought in the suburbs or out of state, brigades of burglars and flea-market traders who are happy to sell to any customer. complete article [URL=http://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/11/us/how-criminals-get-guns-in-short-all-too-easily.html?src=pm]http://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/11/us/how-criminals-get-guns-in-short-all-too-eas ily.html?src=pm[/URL] [/qb][/QUOTE]You forgot to mention one important factor here ray...
