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)

My country has some of the hardest gun laws in the world.

1. Upon applying for a Lic ( Rifle ) a background check is done by the Fereral Police
2. A psychopath/sociopath test must be done by a Government Registered clinic
3. 12 weeks training by the Firearm Safety & Training Council
4. Rifle must be held in appoved Gun safe bolted to a concrete or steel floor ( wooden not allowed )
5. The firearm must be checked by the local Police every 12 months
6. Police have the right to visit & check your safe at anytime.

Handgun only if your are a police officer or Security Guard Lic.
Most of my countries Handgun Sporting shooters clubs have disbanded
