A paper on where and how criminals obtain guns has been published in "Preventive Medicine" a rather peculiar place to publish a paper on the criminology of gun use.  Other than the apparent desire to medicalize crime that involves guns, the paper is reasonably well done, with some good information that reinforces much of what we already knew. 

A minor complaint is that the authors seem nearly as ignorant about guns as the criminals that they interview.  They use the terms "assault weapon" and "machine pistol" without any definition, and little knowledge.  Here are the quotes.

  1. Not odd at all - it's the stated goal of the surgeon general and his minions to make guns and gun ownership an unhealthy aspect of living so they can then treat the act of exercising the 2A as a disease.

    1. They can have the 2A, we'll just exercise our Natural Right.
