Where do people get crack cocaine or any other drug? Criminals are going to be criminals. and they will get guns any way they can. Gun control only keeps the law abiding from obtaining a gun.

There are tons of ways to get a gun, that's why gun control is so retarded. Ammo can be bought by anyone over 18 at loads of places.

Criminals don't go to stores and do background checks, they get their guns off the streets, which are mostly stolen elsewhere and sold in cities out of car trunks and on street corners. I'm a law-abiding citizen, but I could buy find 2 or 3 illegal / stolen firearms this coming weekend if I wanted to...it's not that hard.

I'm not sure what you mean by "repeat bullets" but perhaps you mean a semi-auto pistol that feeds ammo from a magazine? And no, "magazine" does not mean a printed booklet with stories; but a GUN magazine that holds ammunition.

And finally, no, most store owners I know are trying to run a legal business and won't sell firearms "off the books" or out the back door. They have way too much to lose if they did so. The ATF watches gun stores (and gun shows) like hawks.

God bless you, friend. I hope you do eventually decide to own a firearm.

In my opinion, knowing how to use a gun is both a civic duty (like voting) and an essential life skill (like knowing how to drive, or how to use a fire extinguisher).

Crates of weapons get dropped off in ghettos. Its a thing. Fast and Furious....

Gun stores are not selling guns out the back door,by law they have strict accounting and tracking of guns in and out.

Criminals steal them or buy them from people who stole them. Gun stores are subject to audit and have to be able to account for all guns that were sent to them. If any "go missing" they lose their dealer's license and livelihood.

Then ask yourself what prevents any criminal from doing the same thing here.

If you want to know where many illegal firearms come from- many come from unlocked cars. Traded, sold, used like currency in gangs etc. It blows my mind that people are dumb enough to leave a firearm in an unlocked vehicle but yep, all the time. There was actually a thanksgiving rash of car thefts a few years ago in my neighborhood and a LEO was visiting someone across the street and left his truck unlocked overnight with multiple weapons inside. All stolen but recovered eventually. The Ring video was impressive. Guy gets into the driver’s seat, shuts the door so the light wasn’t on and rifles through the truck. What is worse is that there are kids running around... and it is on the top of my list for stupid things stupid people do.

But search for other examples- every town/city has a problem with this.

Buy from private parties:

Over the years, my husband had purchased guns from private parties and from relatives who were upgrading. He did not register them, because he did not see why that was necessary. They were only for self defense. We all (adults) went to the shooting range to practice and he kept them hidden away for emergency use, if needed.

Steal them:

When we went on vacation, our home was broken into and the criminals stole everything (nearly) of value which included all the guns and a stash of ammo.

#1 - stolen guns

#2 - private sales, including straw purchases

#3 - homemade receivers - you can make a polymer handgun receiver with a 3d printer or buy an 80% kit and all you need is a drill and simple tools. All gun parts beside the receiver are not controlled, so barrel, trigger, slide, etc. can be bought with no checks.

#4 Why don't you have a gun? Get a gun!
