Thanks mrstickball! That is really high!

 

 

My ballparkfigure from what I remember was somewhere between 95 and 98% Thus why I believe this whole argument over gun crimes and out lawing guns is just stupid.

I wouldn't say that because if you read the article linked by mrstickball it says :

"District Attorney Mike Green says most of the illegal guns in Rochester are stolen and were at one time were lawfully on someone's permit. "If we could control the guns some of these incidents that wind up as homicides might be fist fights instead of homicides. The one thing people at home can do right now is take care of your guns the way you're supposed t. Get them locked up the way they're supposed to be locked up and keep them from getting into the hands of criminals. "

 

So having guns easily available to honest citizens who want to protect themselves has the side effect of making it easier for a criminal to find a gun to steal.

 

Thank you for pointing that out. I was just about to do it myself, reading entire thread ftw.
