I posted an article which broke it down. I've no idea if the article is 100% right, but the 6% you quote agrees to that article, and that the black market & straw purchase are the largest source. It a presentation issue I suppose - its easy to blame "the black market", and thereby ignoring that the source for the "black market" is stolen guns. The largest source for the stolen guns (on the black market) is
“Lazy and incompetent gun owners,” he charged. “It’s literally that simple. Unsecured or improper secured firearms are one of the largest contributors to illegal guns on the street.”
The breakdown (guns used criminal activity) in the article is
- 43% black market
- 6% theft (acquired by the actual criminal directly)
- 10% retail
- 0.8% gun show
- 11% straw purchase
- 15% from friends/relatives
- 12% were there
Not quite 100%, but close
So, IMV, everyone has the right to a gun, but they should have a legal responsibility to store it securely to mitigate the risk of theft and, as you correctly point out, to prevent accidental shooting.
