A Violent Unregulated Secondary Market

June 18, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Gun laws don’t make you safe. Those who wish to commit violent crimes against you will buy their guns on the unregulated secondary market. As the ATF reports, lost and stolen guns aren’t reported to the law. No kidding. USA Today reports:

In its report, the ATF warned that its findings “likely reveal only a fraction of the problem” because “many lost and stolen firearms go entirely unreported.”

“Individuals (who) steal firearms are more likely to commit violent crimes with stolen guns, transfer stolen firearms to others who commit crimes and create an unregulated secondary market for firearms,” the ATF report stated.

E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West (RIP JB) and Paris.
