From my direct experience, I don't recall there ever being a time when we had sourced any gun legally. Any of the guns that may have been from a legal source would come from a robbery or from them being taken. That was also a very rare occurrence. I don't see how, in any way....
Before I came here, I spoke to our youth and I spoke to guys who are currently in prison, always posing that question: Do you think something like this, the banning of any type of legal firearm, would help us?
The answer is 100% always the same: We never used legal firearms, or sought out to, because it was much easier to get them illegally.
