Surely the people who bought the guns in the US were going to sell them for a profit in Mexico where the demand and price is high due to government regulation. From a republican point of view, there should be less government regulation in Mexico so guns would be cheaper and people could have the freedom to buy them.Il Principehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002800517118623115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-89196559107763228422010-08-18T19:41:14.822+02:002010-08-18T19:41:14.822+02:00MikeB: “Recently someone was arguing that straw pu...MikeB: “Recently someone was arguing that straw purchases don't account for the bulk of guns that end up with the criminals. It sure looks like that's how they do it down in Houston.”<br /><br />That was me. Yes, I find it hard to believe that straw purchases would exceed theft as a source of crime guns. Does it happen? Sure, but I have to wonder what their business plan looks like (and what they have to charge on the street for a gun that cost $600 retail) to get their books in the black. Bloomberg loves to point to guns coming in from out of state (perhaps it is more about shifting blame) so you have to figure the costs associated with time and expenses. A stolen gun will allow someone to sell it for a few hundred dollars as opposed to a thousand plus which would give them a much bigger customer base among the street thugs. Both still carry the risk of going to jail. Hey, it is not like you can’t berate gun owners for having their guns stolen…TSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-17455932497566941722010-08-18T15:09:30.261+02:002010-08-18T15:09:30.261+02:00"I still don't get why you continually th..."I still don't get why you continually throw up stories of the law working as reason that we must need to fix the law."<br /><br />This is why I resist all gun control attempts, regardless of how modest and Common Sense® they claim to be.
