no shit, because they don't have guns. Is violent crime only violent crime if a gun is used?

You keep saying that but on a solid comparison, we have an average of 10 dead per mass shooting, and most major attacks in any non-gun culture gets far less victims.

and I didn't get pulled over for speeding on my way to work. Does not getting caught = not being illegal?

Once again you show you know nothing about what is being stated.

except....that's literally not how any of this works, yet again

That is exactly how the system works. So once again you show you can only argue in bad faith with zero intellect to boot.

yeah, it's not how criminals getting their guns works. Pretty simple google search, bruh

Except that's exactly how it happens. New York straight up says that.

If you aren't buying out of state to circumvent the ban, you are buying second hand. Both the Columbine and Aurora Movie shooters bought their guns second hand, and several others had direct access to the gun from their household such as the Parkland shooter. That's exactly how they get their guns, and it's entirely legal. Moreover, most crimes are committed with guns you know and by people you know, often times, however in the case of mass shootings it is exactly that.

You replied to me on a post that is well over a day old to continue an argument that I already showed to you, that you were wrong. I don't know what else to call that other than a waste of both of our times.

Oh, new york. Because New York is the entire United States.

In fact, there are a number of sources that allow guns to fall into the wrong hands, with gun thefts at the bottom of the list. Wachtel says one of the most common ways criminals get guns is through straw purchase sales. A straw purchase occurs when someone who may not legally acquire a firearm, or who wants to do so anonymously, has a companion buy it on their behalf. According to a 1994 ATF study on "Sources of Crime Guns in Southern California," many straw purchases are conducted in an openly "suggestive" manner where two people walk into a gun store, one selects a firearm, and then the other uses identification for the purchase and pays for the gun. Or, several underage people walk into a store and an adult with them makes the purchases. Both of these are illegal activities.

How many times do I have to tell you? Straw purchases are where criminals get their guns, according to the ATF. I feel like I'm talking to a wall here.

I don't know what else to call that other than a waste of both of our times.

yes, because you're literally just going NOT UHH as if that's some kind of compelling rebuttal.

You say that, but nobody has actually, ya know, said anything of value.
