$50 revolver

[kennyd]

yesterday on NPR radio, there was a show about Chicago schools and their "gun" violence.  Not about gangs, or broken homes.  I will give credit to the teachers for doing what they can there.


BUT, one segment told of a college student buying guns in Indiana, then going to sell them on the streets in Chicago.  I called BS when the very next statement was that revolvers go for $50, pistols for $100.  I can't even add to my Saturday night special collection for twice that


If there was someone doing straw purchases, jail him.  Don't tell me it is good business to buy things for $400 or $500, and then sell them for $100.

I've always wondered how a criminal that is flat broke can affort to buy a gun for a couple of hundred bucks so he can rob a convenience store of $75........................

Not really BS.
If the person is buying them and then able to sell them for $50.00 or $100.00 then the guns have been stolen and the person he is buying them from has nothing in them dollar wise so it's all profit to him.
He is selling them for what it takes to buy that nights drugs with because if the money wasn't for drugs he would know that he could get more for them on the street to about any crook but all he cares about is enough money for that nights fix!

Public radio also reported that about fifty fatalities occurred during the 2012 deer season in minnesota. The state department of natural resources says it was one fatality. Must have been rounding error.
