The new anti-gun-control meme: The US should be more like Switzerland.

14. Actually, I'm peddling Wright and Rossi.

and a more recent study of course I wonder why it was published in a health magazine instead of a criminology journal makes me wonder about their methodology and study quality, but it verifies studies that went through those hoops.

Is there an official ATF publication that actually says this? Can you link it? No, I don't mean VPC making the claim. ATF doesn't trace all crime guns, in fact very few of them. I don't see how they could come to that conclusion especially the stolen part. It is probably true that they said ten percent of the guns they traced where reported stolen and entered into NCIC. Question is out of the number of guns are stolen, how many are reported to the cops? Out of that number, how many theft victims thought to have copy of all relevant information including serial numbers to give to the cops to put the information in NCIC?
