1% of gun dealers were responsible for nearly 60% of guns recovered at crime scenes, according to a 2000 study cited by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.

produced by the bureau that found that 1% of gun dealers were responsible for nearly 60% of guns recovered at crime scenes. Slightly more than 5% of gun dealers were responsible for selling nearly 90% of those guns, he wrote.

In addition to the name and location of each dealer, Cummings asked the ATF to provide the number of guns sold that were involved in crimes within five years of the sale, the zip codes where the guns were recovered, the number of homicides, assaults, and assault and batteries committed with the guns, and the average time between the sale of the weapons and the crime.

But Trump also said he was talking with the National Rifle Association, an influential gun rights group, which opposes expanding the federal background check system.

If gun makers can be sued, why not sellers of guns? Bar owners would not serve drinks to anyone who posed a danger, so why shouldn’t gun sellers bear responsibility for the people they sell to?

Nobody cares about Cummings.

Now do drunk drivers and car makers

Elijah Cummings should specifically focus on Baltimore crime including individuals, gundealers, gun black market and conditions there driving crime.

Cummings is one of the biggest liars on this planet!!!! a dirty lying DEM!!!! arent they all?

This on governments hands. People apply for and get FFL and then sell to criminals and convicted felons.

Crazy

this is yellow journalism at its finest.

I’m not gonna read the article and guess...Indiana?

I’d like to see this study but related to crimes in Mexico. Because I guarantee you that it will be similar.

Cummings also misplaced millions in money for his district. But you don’t want to talk about that.

19 year old study?
