Regulating bulk firearm purchases is a straightforward, effective way to reduce gun trafficking and save lives.
Laws limiting the number of firearms a person can purchase within a certain timeframe help reduce the number of guns that enter the secondary market—weapons that are more likely to wind up at the scene of a crime. Only a handful of states limit bulk gun purchases, a policy that has been proven to reduce gun trafficking and consequently gun violence.
The pro-gun lobby attempts to dispute this fact in misleading and deceitful ways.
(Go back to the beginning of this part of the debate if you don't see the relevance.)
Here's some...........it's all in that link I providedGot any statistics "proving" limits on bulk sales save lives? Maybe it's the other side that is using deceitful and misleading tactics?
Here's some...........it's all in that link I provided
- Data indicates that approximately 20–25% of all handguns recovered at crime scenes were originally purchased as part of a multiple sale.4
- Handguns sold in multiple sales were up to 64% more likely to be used in crime than handguns sold individually.5
- A study of crime gun recoveries in Baltimore found that guns purchased in multiple sales were significantly more likely than guns purchased in single sales to be recovered from a possessor who was not the original buyer.6
I like my answer just fine.
Finding the proper balance between individual rights and a properly functioning society is what narrows the gap.
