We do have a handle on the source of guns recovered from persons arrested and accused of a crime. Of guns recovered from persons arrested and charged with a crime: * 84 percent of those guns were stolen in a burglary; including 4 percent stolen from a relative or a friend. * 6 percent of those guns were confiscated and resold by a “law enforcement officer.” Legalized armed robbery, in other words. * 2 percent of those guns were stolen from the police or the military. * 2 percent of those guns were stolen from a parcel or delivery service.
That leaves just six percent of guns taken from arrestees that could properly be considered possible “crime guns” that could also have been legally purchased. And most of those were never used in a crime. If they had been “crime guns” they would already have been ditched.
