It’s an honest question.

There were 1,074,757 gun purchases through licensed FFL dealers last month. 9,076,205 for this year. Over a million a month.

And how do you gun banners propose getting all of them? And how do you explain that gun crime rate has been going down over the past couple decades? And why is it that the crime rate is higher in cities and state where regulation is strict compared to states with more lax laws?

And can you answer this one simple question:

Can you demonstrate one time or place, throughout all history, where the average person was made safer by restricting access to handheld weapons?

I don’t expect people to try and answer that question. Or answer it directly.
Only 17% of weapon that are taken from the drug cartels are traced back to the US.

The ATF has said the 90% of the guns that are given to them from Mexico to trace are from the US. But that is about 18% of the total guns recovered and most are handguns. The other 72% don’t have American markings or American serial numbers.
Therefore that 72% is never given to the ATF to trace because it is obvious they don’t come from America.
And before someone calls it out my mistake its 82% of the total seized guns that are known to not be American.

I live in a small town in south Mississippi and over the past two years the crime rate has had a dramatic increase. This town has started developing gangs and one new gang that has come about is the worst of all. The initiation to this one particular group is to kidnap, rape, and kill a woman. There has already been several arrests made where a man crawled into the back seat of a womans car while she was pumping gas. I am about to have my first child in 4 weeks and this has me really concerned. My husband wants me to get my licence to carry a gun in case something like this happens to me. He works an hour away from where we live and he constantly worries. He does not let me go out at night by myself at all anymore even to go to the store down the road. I just need to know what steps to take to get a licence and the rules to carrying one on my person.
