That’s the best written article I have seen by a news outlet in over a decade. This is my favorite part.
Of the offenders in custody who were in possession of a firearm at the time of their crime, about 2 % got that gun from a retail source, according to the DOJ.
I almost sent this along with a scathing email pointing out facts and Hochul’s misguided policies to her but then I thought better of it and criticizing the queen may get me red flagged.
There has been a low-level panic about gun shows for years, but the criminals who got their guns at gun shows make up about 0.8% of the prisoners in custody. If you listen to Mike Bloomberg or the editorialists of the New York Daily News, you might believe any criminal can walk into a gun show and leave with a machine gun: In reality, there have been exactly two cases of a legally owned fully automatic weapon being used in a homicide in the United States since before World War II — one by a civilian, and one by a corrupt cop assassinating an informant. But there are a fair number of fully automatic weapons in private hands, albeit only those made before 1986. Statistically, you’re more likely to be killed by a Democratic politician in Nevada than by one of the thousands of fully automatic weapons legally owned by Americans.

What is stupid, is anyone who believes that anti-gun/gun control policies have anything to do with stopping crime or saving lives. "Saving lives" is the cloud of bullshit they use to confuse people who don't care to look at the facts. It's unfortunate that guns and gun ownership have become viewed (by some) as something that is grotesque and unnecessary in society today. That somehow we have advanced passed the need for them, and the only purpose for them now, must be of a malevolent nature.
