[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open Carry is already the death by a thousand cuts - Far more Americans have been killed because of our lax gun laws than have died in all of the wars we ever fought combined.[/quote]

But no one dies in those cities where we have strong gun laws.

Cities with strong gun laws are irrelevant because for example in Chicago all [b]anyone has to do is drive 25 minutes to a gun show in Indiana and make a private purchase and not even have to get a background check.[/b]  This is why NATIONAL policy is needed, and why states rights and local policy does not work.[/quote]

I would like to see some statistics that this is what is happening. 
Those promoting gun control continuously say this, but offer no proof that this is what is happening.  [/quote]

Don't know about Chicago, but there are no gun stores in the city of Washington, DC. There are no gun shows or events sponsored in DC. The armory, stadium, or convention center holds almost every type of event, except gun shows. Unfortunately for individuals living in the city who desire to mail order a rifle, hand gun, assault rifle, etc DC does not have a registered gun agent to first legally receive and take possession. So, people such as my hubby retain their out of state driver licenses and buy their weapons in other jurisdictions, but live in the city. It's not rocket science. It takes all of ten minutes to drive to points  from DC into either MD or VA to purchase weapons. Walmart use to sell ARs in some of their MD stores. [/quote]

Is your hubby a criminal?  Did he purchase that gun with the intent of doing harm to innocents?
The left likes to say that the criminals in the cities with tough gun laws (where gun violence is high) acquire their guns from neighboring states. 
I would like to see some reliable statistics to bear this out.  [/quote]

If he's fraudulently using an out-of-state ID to buy guns and then he's crossing state lines with them then yes, he's a criminal and part of the problem.[/quote]
