[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really am not sure what can be done about the urban violence problem OP mentions. Maybe stronger penalties on whoever the last person was to legally register a gun if a crime is done with it to make it less likely it gets sold on the black market to the wrong people?

The lower hanging fruit seems to be to start with the type of problem like Sandy Hook, Columbine, Parkland - availability of crazy fast guns with too much ammo that belong on the battlefield not in a home. We should babystep in the right direction over time [/quote]

I am OP and the event in question did not happen in an urban area at all.  Smart people would see gun violence in the suburbs as a sign that this is not an “urban” problem but no one is going to accuse Americans of being smart.[/quote]
Exactly. A 14 year old killed two people last week with a ghost gun in Germantown.

What I want to know is what is the gun supply chain. How did that ghost gun get into that 14 year olds hands? I never see this talked about a lot. I hear about gun shows and bulk purchases in Florida that are brought to DC and NY. But who’s bringing them? Who are they giving the guns to when they arrive? How do they get passes through to young kids? That’s what I would like to understand better and I wish it was talked about more so that we can understand the full context of the problem. [/quote]
