Of course, the barn doors are still open in terms of private sales and
gun
shows. Did you ever see the stats on guns used in crime, and where they
come
from? In the large majority of cases their last legal or apparently legal
transaction was a private sale.

What other kind of sale is there?

A sale in a public place: a gun shop.


In any case, how many folks
have you personally known that have ever been shot at, aside from
military or law enforcement?

Few police have ever been shot at

Forty-two were killed with handguns in 2005; 8 were killed with other guns.
