sqrl i really expected more out of you. :P
Barter shop and flea market fit in with that exact statistic. A no-background check.
What that means is that 7% of all guns that are used to commit crimes are easily made more difficult to obtain.
Do you even have a point? You try to disprove my contention about gun shows (which is actually being considered for national law and so why I used it as an example) and then prove it at the same time. thanks 
People are getting guns way too easily.
What's also interesting is that people are getting guns from family and friends. Or even by renting them. This statistic is just as high as the illegal sources one.

These are firearm related crimes. Apparently, taken from the same site that your graph originated from. However this set of data clearly shows gun violence going down. Your graph, if you look at percentages, just shows a trend of "shooting" crimes while I must also let you know that only 10% of "shooting crimes" are NONFATAL, which is also what your graph ONLY shows.
That, according to this data I provided, gun control laws have resulted in fewer gun crimes.
