Not true.
Turns out outlaws get their guns from states with lax or no gun control laws.
"The Movement of Illegal Guns in America," a study released by the "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" coalition, documents the link between gun laws and interstate gun trafficking.
The study finds that the 10 states with the least control of sales supply 57% of the handguns recovered in crimes in other states.
West Virginia supplies the most; the District of Columbia none.
The study also finds that the less a state regulates handguns, the greater the incidence of death by handguns in that state.
The coalition's "Trace Data Center" collects, analyzes and distributes gun trace data and related reports released by the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
