Seems there are a lot burglars in GA ! This 'statistic' seems more an indictment of GA's judiciary and penal system than a reflection on GA's firearms merchants or owners. OTOH, if GA is such a rich source of 'crime guns' why isn't ATF and the FBI moving into the fray ? Or does setting up 'sting ops' on middle-aged malcontents seem more appealing ? Or perhaps the current state of affairs is more congruent with the administration's anti-gun meme ?

These stats are meaningless as they can only cite firearms that are traceable(or those they choose to trace). Hopefully there will always be millions Big Brother doesn't know about. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
