re: Louisiana's crime gun pipeline: How firearms flow to and from Texas, Mississippi, elsewher

Good old Nola.com, where folks go when they can't get a job writing for their subdivision newsletter.

Let's be real honest with each other. The real story is that guns from Houston and NOLA, BHM and NOLA, ATL and NOLA, are in a trade. It's not Texas to Louisiana or Georgia to Louisiana, it's Houston and Atlanta to NOLA.

And according to this link: LINK /

There are 1m registered guns in Texas, 1/2m in Florida, 300k in GA, 200k in AL, 150k in TN, and 80k in MS.

How many of these seized guns are legal (IE registered and possessed by the lawful owner)? Probably <5%, maybe non.

This is yet another twisted gun crime statistic to scare people.

Supposedly the "Guns are the leading cause of death for people under 18" stat is heavily twisted by 14-18yo inner city men in gang violence. If you back out that stat, the number goes to a more normal level.
