How is this possible? You mean to tell me that criminals don't follow the law?

If that's the case, all the laws in the world aren't really going to stop a criminal who wants to use a gun. The laws would only be a hindrance to law-abiding citizens. You know, the very ones who would use their guns to defend innocent people in a mass shooting, while waiting precious minutes for the cops to arrive?

So are gun laws, in effect, doing nothing but aiding and abetting criminals? And turning law-abiding citizens into sitting ducks?
30% of the guns used in criminal acts are bought through this loop hole. Yep, seems like a nice thing to close if you want to reduce crime.
