[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3203132, member: 5412"] CNN [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/28/us/houston-officers-shot/index.html']reports[/URL] that the four officers were serving a warrant on the suspected drug dealers. Acevedo’s solution to this scenario is more gun control for law-abiding citizens. He wants an “assault weapons” ban, a “high-capacity” magazine ban, and a requirement background checks for private gun sellers at gun shows. On January 15, 2019, Breitbart News [URL='https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/01/15/doj-less-3-percent-nations-prisoners-acquired-firearms-retail-gun-shows/']reported[/URL] Department of Justice (DOJ) figures showing that fewer than three percent of prisoners who used guns for crime acquired those guns at a gun show or at retail. The vast majority — 56 percent — stole their guns, acquired them at the scene of a crime, or got them via the black market. So Acevedo’s war on gun shows would do little to prevent criminals from getting guns, but it might keep a grandpa from buying a shotgun he was going to use to duck hunt with his grandson. Let's not get the truth in the way of government oppression. [/QUOTE]
