Moderate America

Most with violent intent don't purchase a gun at a store or gunshow

The pattern is straw purchases of dozens of guns that can then be resold to those with violent intent.

But groups like the the NRA resists any attempt to stem this, because such groups don't represent gun owners. The NRA for instance represents gun manufacturers and increasingly its own lucrative interests.

Market analysis will show what gun sales are likely to be worth with or without the sales to violent criminals, and face it, the numbers are a lot more robust on the "with" side of the column.

Hey, it's just business right?
