IN a revelation that should surprise no one, the majority of guns used by criminals are stolen from peoples homes and autos.
New survey confirms majority of guns used by criminals are taken from people’s homes and cars
Sadly, robberies, aggravated assaults, gang shootings, and a myriad of gun crimes are an every day occurrence in cities across the country. A day doesn’t go by when you can’t read, see, or hear about a gun-related crime on the news.
Of course it begs the question, how do these crooks get guns? Well, they don’t buy them at retail outlets, gun shows, or on the internet. That is one of the findings from the latest Bureau of Justice Statistics report, “Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates 2016“.
Thousands of prison inmates were surveyed across the United States with specific questions on how they obtained firearms. The results showed less than 2 percent of the prisoners surveyed obtained a firearm from a retail source.
So where did they get the guns? The answer is simple. They got them from people who had legally purchased them but didn’t secure them.
Most of the firearms used by prisoners during the commission of their crimes were stolen, either by the crook themselves or bought from someone else who had stolen it.

Correct. Or they get them through straw sales. Which is why in both cases, the previous owner should be charged for any crimes committed with those guns.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

So then the question becomes.... "Why are these 'law-abiding' gun owners too fucking lazy and stupid to keep their guns locked up and out of the reach of criminals?"
Why are they too fucking cheap to go out and buy gun safes and bolt them to the floor from the inside so burglars can't just come into their homes while they're away and walk out with their guns?
Even if what you claim is true, guns ending up in the hands of criminals is STILL the fault of stupid, lazy-ass gun owners.
There is NO legitimate excuse for allowing guns to be stolen.
C'MON MAN!!!!

Couldn't been more wrong, what a surprise
First off, the study your article is based upon only surveyed prisoners, and of those that detailed how they obtained the weapon (56%), they said they "had either stolen it (6%), found it at the scene of the crime (7%), or obtained it of the street or from the underground market (43%)"

MOST CRIMINALS STEAL THEIR GUNS FROM THE LAW-ABIDING
wow ... whoda thunk
But, are you really law abiding of your gun gets stolen?
Not really. I know sounds like ucmj law, but if your gun of all things gets stolen you have participated in a crime. You might be the victim but that doesnt absolve you of the crime in the case of a weapon imo.
Perhaps legistlation to penalize victims of gun theft should be at least a misdemeanor of some kind. At least up to the brand new value of the lost fire arm.
