"Ohio ATF agent Daryl McCormick traces the origins of guns used in crimes, and he said it happens in two ways.

Daryl McCormick, an agent with the Ohio Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, traces the origins of guns used in crimes and he said it happens in two ways.

"Number one, through a licensed dealer," McCormick said. "And number two, from a theft. Which, right away, that's illegal."

According to the ATF, between 2017 to 2021, nearly 79,000 firearms were recovered from crimes across the state.

Around 1,100 of them had been stolen from a homeowner or gun store,
but McCormick said what's troubling is that the vast majority were legally purchased and then given to a criminal."

This is why I have never agreed that stricter gun laws would have no impact on crime because criminals find a way to get a gun either way. It just doesn’t match what I’ve seen in high crime cities.

It’s not street smart to buy a hot gun, knowing you’re gonna commit a crime and nobody wants to go to catch burglary charges over something they didn’t do to make them look worse if caught.

A lot of cases…somewhere in the food chain..a gun was legally purchased and given to the wrong people. It’s a lot easier to get away with it in states who don’t give a shit about gun control.

IMO, that is one of the many reasons why Jackson’s crime rate is consistently higher than Chicago.

The alphabet agencies carry zero credibility after seeing all of the lies that come from them. Of course they're going to say that, to feed into all of the screeching about "gun control".

Anything the government says, I pretty much believe the opposite of whatever they say after the last few years.

Just curious, do you think if people were held accountable for their gun being used in a crime they would be more careful about it?

So bottom line is that guns used in crimes are either obtained legally or illegally…

Interestingly enough, there has only been 1 mass shooter who stated that he thought at the time there was a waiting period for all firearms and that he believed if there had been he wouldn’t have done it. I’m not sure if I find this 100% truthful due to other evidence in his case. I’d be curious what those stats look like with interviews in which the shootings involved a single person or even family members.

And the majority of stolen guns from people were found in their unlocked cars. Facts are we don’t have responsible gun owners. A three year old shot her four year old in the head killing her in their apartment this week. Probably no charges will be filed on the parents.

It won’t help in situations when the gun owner feels like the circumstances is worth the charge but I think it will make a difference in instances where that isn’t the case.

For example: I think it would make a difference if MS started giving a serious shit about catching and holding gun traffickers accountable. I always noticed the law is quick to lock up drug dealers for a million years but not the people they bought guns from in large numbers.

He has a keen sense of the obvious.

What is the punishment for making a strawman purchase?

Not a damn thing it appears.
