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.
