I would be interested to know exactly how that 80% breaks out, though. And does an "illegal source" account for weapons stolen from family or friends?
Anyway, I think the question of what to do about guns used in the commission of a crime that are given by (with or without foreknowledge of what they'll be used for) or stolen from legal owners for illegal purposes is a very valid one.

I agree completely.
I'm not sure why the DOJ even bothered with that study, as it really doesn't show ..much... at all...

Will? Who wants to protect the rights of CRIMINALS to carry guns? Even the most pro-gun person I know wouldn't advocate criminal possession. BTW it's interesting you linked that story.. DK did too, above. He seems to have a slightly different take on it.
