Stop spread of illegal guns from states with weak laws
There are a few States with weak gun laws, these states are the major contributors of gun trafficking to the United States. Approximately 12,000 people are killed with guns a year in the United States.
Mississippi, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alaska, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Nevada and Georgia were the 10 states that supplied guns used in crimes at the highest rates -- each of them supplying such guns at a rate more than twice the national average.
Not only do they supply a disproportionate amount of crime guns, but these states are also more likely to be the source of guns recovered in crimes within two years of the original sale, which the ATF said is a key sign of illegal trafficking.
I
f the laws on guns ar'nt taken seriously, crimes and deaths will continue to rise in our country. And if the few States that allow these small gaps to happen, our rights to own firearms might be taken away.
