I may be throwing gasoline on the fire here, but I have it on good authority(2 active duty LE officers and a recently retired member of the Army) that a number of weapons on the streets are coming in from overseas. There are over 100 million AKs in military drag on this planet, a huge number of them in Africa and Asia. You can buy them for $50-100 in some places.

Considering the vast amount of other items successfully smuggled into the States, what's to say that these weapons aren't flowing in the same way? I've tried looking for citations on this, but I imagine that to save face, the authorities probably won't be listing this as a source for illicit arms. Just something to think about tonight.

* Found a reasonable reliable source:

The ATF studied this most guns seem to be getting diverted out of the legal US market either by dealers, protected from most oversight by the NRA, or by straw purchasers.

I can agree with you on crooked dealers and straw purchasers, but the NRA has absolutely no "oversight" over Federal firearms activity. It's a social/political organization. It is not a government agency. Yes, I am a member, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how it could possible assist in the transport/sale of weapons to anyone anywhere.

The ATF is a poorly managed agency that is responsible for one of the most fucked-up plans ever conceived by a government famous world-wide for screwball idea. Fast & Furious should be prosecuted in an international court, and you're talking to someone who does not like the UN. Granted, the operation was an outgrowth of 'Linebacker', which was similar in intent but not in scope, and we can blame Bush's administration for that little gem. But at least they had the brains to axe it before it become an embarrassment to the government.

We often hear the comment(from gun-nutters) that we shouldn`t pass any laws restricting guns because "the criminals" don`t obey the law yada yada....(probably the most horrible logic ever but this comes from them).

(I don't know of any "gun nutters" that don't fully agree with gun controls. I also don't know of any "gun nutters" that want theirs removed from their possession solely because some asshole did something stoooopit).

Please allow me to bring you up to speed.....
