Surprise, surprise! Criminals don't go to a gun
store and BUY a gun. They STEAL them, or find someone in a back alley
somewhere and buy one out of the trunk of his car. This is a BIG
STORY in Columbia, MO. Gun store owners have noticed a significant
INCREASE in the number of gun owners calling to find out the serial
numbers of the guns they purchased, which tells them the gun was
stolen, and the owner needed that number for the cops. They say they
used to get one or two such calls a month, but now are getting them
at the rate of one or two a DAY. The cops say it's hard to say how
many guns are stolen because they put those numbers in with stolen
laptops, jewelry, and all other property thefts. Which is a damned
fool thing to do, since it makes it impossible to know that gun
thefts are becoming a major problem. (ABC 17 News)
