Political Editors: 90% of Guns Used in Crime Obtained Illegally — The Patriot Post

The Justice Department recently released a report that once again confirms a long-running statistic regarding firearms and crime. The DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reports that in 2016, some 287,400 individuals were imprisoned for committing crimes while in possession of a firearm and 90% of those firearms were obtained illegally. The report further notes, “More than half (56%) had either stolen it (6%), found it at the scene of the crime (7%), or obtained it off the street or from the underground market (43%). Most of the remainder (25%) had obtained it from a family member or friend, or as a gift.”

by owned i should have said that there wasn't a need to purchase more guns. there are enough already. firearms that can be stolen already exist.

George Floyd may have been a victim of Derek Chauvin, but he was no hero and no role model. In fact, he was a convicted criminal including aggravated robbery with a weapon. George Floyd the convicted criminal is not deserving of a statue. 

he has become a symbol. had the problems of police killing unarmed blacks been addressed sooner not only wouldn't he have been the symbol but he might not have been killed at all. regardless defacing his likeness should not have happened.

You are much better qualified to do that than I am, comrade Golfer, since that history is your history.

i'm sure that i know a lot more about history in general than you since you know nothing at all.

I qualified as a "Sharpshooter" with a rifle in the U.S. Army so I think I could protect myself from a slimy commie coward like you. 

so you qualified to shoot unarmed people that aren't a threat to you? wow!

A book full of more stories from unnamed sources I would imagine. And the reason the sources are unnamed is because they don't exist.

denial denial denial.................................your hero is a lying loser.

Defacing the statue of the convicted criminal George Floyd is worse than BLM and ANTIFA defacing the statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and burning the American flag? I don't think so.  :dodgy:

it's not a question of either/or.
