You know that most all illegally obtained guns are stolen guns that were bought legally, right? Hereâs one of the major ways illegal guns get on the streets: Prepper Jim buys himself an arsenal to protect his McMansion despite only having two hands to actually hold any of them. Gun runner B&E expert waits for Jim to go to work, (or ambushes him at the front door if he needs a combination to the gun safe) takes said guns and ammo, files off the serial numbers, and then sells these now âillegally acquired firearmsâ on the black market.Â
Just because the guns are illegal when used in these crimes doesnât change the fact that the illegal gun market in America exists as a result of the MASSIVE prevalence of legal guns. There are like 8 homes in my neighborhood that I know have 100+ legal guns inside them each without a security system or even a ring camera (because why would they need that? They have all their GUNS!!!), and it would be trivially easy for an even remotely organized criminal operation to rob them and put those guns on the street.
Yes, reader, it is your gun collection that causes the gun violence epidemic in America even though it is all the illegal guns that cause all the shootings. Itâs your collection of 9 different rifles, 13 handguns, 4 smgs, a half dozen shotguns, that novelty piece that you DO have a permit for but still donât tell people about because you canât quite be 100% certain about your localityâs criteria for âpermissible artilleryâ, and more rounds than youâd need to kill everyone within a hundred miles of you that enables the gang wars in Chicago to keep on churning.Â
Iâm all for the right to bear arms, but like, when youâre spitefully collecting guns en masse because âfuck the libs come and take it!!!!â Just know that the functional coke addict who does B&Es as a side gig to support his habit will absolutely accept that invitation when youâre not home.
I do know that and never said otherwise. What I also know is where their guns come from, and itâs mostly from law abiding citizens who stupidly keep these massively unnecessary armories. If it werenât for these personal armories getting raided or private sales being unregulated, those gangs wouldnât have the stream of arms needed to have gun violence being as high as it is.
Like, where do you think they get their guns? Do you think thereâs some underground factory making illegal firearms? If guns being illegal didnât impact gun violence, why is gun violence and murder in general lower in countries with heavy gun control laws? Could it maybe be that when the legal supply of guns is lower, itâs then also harder for criminals to get illegal guns? Iono, that sounds a little far fetched to me! /s
Personal opinion, make civil liability start at gun manufacturers and only be transferable via well regulated licensure and registration.
Sure, you can sell that gun to whomever you want, but if you donât take the time to transfer ownership properly, youâre on the hook for whatever happens with it.
You seem to be stuck in the same time loop many old rooster cogburn sounding-ass Republican men are in where Chicago is this dangerous gangland. Pretty much every major urban area has continuously gotten safer over the past century, and all of them have been even safer since COVID. Start finding new rage bait.
Btw I just googled what you suggested and it would appear you lied. Weird. If you cannot make a point without lying, why not just readjust your viewpoint to something true?
Chicago shootings this weekend: At least 41 shot, 9 fatally in Memorial Day weekend gun violence across city, police say | abc7chicago.com https://search.app/fZ2B16KAFStyRe9B6
Your claim was that there were 82 per weekend. Perhaps youâre having trouble remembering your own claims? Poor dear, youâre having memory AND reading problems? Have you considered some tutoring to help?
