Only about 150,000 were exported that year, while another 2.5 million handguns were imported, he said,A gun is seen next to the curtains in front of a dead body at the scene of a multiple fatality shooting at the Jefferson Gun Outlet in Metairie, La., Feb. 20, 2021.

All other private sales involve sellers who either don't have the ability to conduct a check or don't have"a system that is comprehensive and timely and thorough as a check system," Flannery said.Handguns being processed as potential evidence sit in the gun storage vault in the Chicago Police Department's Homan Square facility on Jan. 26, 2017.

Semi-automatic rifles' bullets are bigger and travel much faster than handguns, Garrett said, and the combination of the speed and size of these bullets is why the risk of death and damage is so much higher.

To protect your home, i would imagine a state of the art security system comes along with owning a gun. I mean, why risk the intruder make it all the way inside before you seek your gun right. Often people get murdered in their sleep.

Ban hand guns and legalize assault rfiles! Protect the people from gun violence automatically

Get rid of them all

Republicans: 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. Ok so what's the solution? Republicans: give more people guns. 🤔. We now have record gun sales. Gun crimes are thru the roof. Hows that working out?

Duh. That’s literally they’re purpose. They’re murder tools. Is anyone actually paying attention?

Shocking...I say...Shocking.

In other surprising news, the sky tends to be blue.

Groundbreaking thanks

Duh gun owners have known this forever.

It's gang violence.

Where are these guns coming from ? Is there a garden in Philadelphia ? Maybe do something about the source . Just a thought .

I could not imagine working at a school where so many young lives were cut so short so quickly.

It’s a liberal city run by democrats. Need I say more? Planned Parenthood must be jealous…😂

ok

In Chicago we have a mayor who's more interested in spending billions of dollars she's getting on projects the city just does not need instead of combating the flow of illegal guns into the hands of criminals that will use them primarily because most of those criminals are Black

Well know shit Sherlock.

Anyone with half a brain already knows that.

Give more knowledge to ppl please and especially post it daily.. wonder what ABC news is getting out of it

I do not discuss the wide variety of guns in American society. I feel that America is always overlooking something important. Amen

People kill people, guns don’t.

1911?

All in common use. Guns are used in between 60,000 and 2.5 million defensive uses every year.

Guns are stupid.

The kind of gun that kills the most is one that shoots bullets.

You and a group of friends go for a day of fun and shopping at the Mall and a fool walks in and opens fire and kills you and several other people because he's having a bad day do you really give a damn what type gun he used?

Anyone that has cared to research that statistic has known it for years! People need to get off their ass and do the research themselves and stop listening to MSM!

Guns don’t kill. People do.

My guns have never hurt a soul. It is almost like guns are not the problem, but the people behind them. Weird thought, I know.

What do you want to say?

It’s never been..

Stand With Capitol Officer Harry Dunn. WHERE'S BANNON ?!? ArrestSteveBannon EnforceTheSubpoenas

I'll gladly trade an assault weapons ban for a handgun ban.

How about mass shootings?

Alec Baldwin 'Rust' Actor Says Camera Was Protected During Shooting, Not ActorsThe gun scenes in the Alec Baldwin movie 'Rust' were considered dangerous enough to provide certain protections ... but not protections for people, but rather the expensive camera. Well NOW he says something about it. He could have voiced this b4 but he chose getting his $$$$ over putting the safety of others 1st. He's only coming forward because of the shooting. Otherwise he would have never said anything. Karma is very dangerous:

J Balvin Apologizes for Controversial 'Perra' Music Video: 'That's Not Who I Am' - E! OnlineJ Balvin recently apologized to fans for the music video that accompanied his single “Perra” after it was taken down following complaints of racist and sexist imagery. He said they not finna cancel me 😆 Tarde… si quiso generar vistas y llamar la atención… creo que salió perdiendo. The sexual and racial degradation was bad, but when I saw the fried chicken in the froot loops? I was like, they're trolling and spitting in our eye. Unless he (Balvin) just showed up on set, and participated in zero 'conceptualizing,' how in FCK did he miss that?

'Rust' crew members reportedly used guns with live ammunition hours before deadly shooting on setCrew members on the set of 'Rust' used guns with live ammunition and engaged in a pastime called 'plinking' hours before Halyna Hutchins was killed, founder and CEO of The Wrap, Sharon Waxman, told CNN's Don Lemon Monday night, citing information from an individual with knowledge of the set. I have done a lot of plinking in my lifetime, but I was taught at a very young age to treat every gun as it is loaded unless you have personally unloaded just unloaded it. All it would have taken is a few extra seconds to check, and make sure the gun wasn't loaded. Must have been a blast, that plinking. 9 year old Andros will now pay the price of all that fun by no longer having a mum in his life. All the money in the world isn't going to bring her back.
