The BATF said on CBS news this morning that %33 of guns used in crimes are stolen from homes etc. The far majority of the other %66 of guns in crimes are bought through straw man purchases from gun shops and FFL's, legally, according to a BATF spokesman.
Now, I know that we don't want anymore gun legislation, but that gun stat concerns me. If this is true, it seems to me that it would behoove us all to do something about this. After all, the more we keep guns from criminals the longer we keep our Right legal.
What do you all think? Should we support some sort of measure that keeps criminals from using Straw Man purchases to get their guns? Is there any reasonable legislation possible that would have any effect?
