Study -- Four of Five Criminals Acquire Guns Illegally

From Breitbart's Big Government:

A study conducted by the Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health shows that four out of five criminals acquire their guns illegally, while one out of five acquires them through legal means, prior to building up a criminal record.

The Washington Post published the study, which looked at guns recovered from Pittsburgh crime scenes in 2008 and found that “in approximately 8 out of 10 cases, the perpetrator was not a lawful gun owner but rather in illegal possession of a weapon that belonged to someone else.”

The quick takeaway from both these studies is that more gun control will not do anything to prevent criminals from arming themselves and carrying out evil deeds.

This study and the one from the University of Chicago both prove, what pro-gun people have been saying for years.

Bad guys don't buy or obtain guns through legal sources.
