ANd your street thug most likely bought his weaponry at a gun show, where sales between individuals are conducted with a wink and a nod to the constitution
No he most likely got it on the street from some junkie looking for cash.....that's how it goes down KC.
Gun show sales, most dealers do background checks..sure some aren't required to but any guy worth his salt to cover his donkey will do it in this highly liable world.
Stolen guns from the home invasions you highlight are the source for most criminals.
