Gun violence is committed with stolen guns.

Wrong....2/3 are not stolen.

That is the case with the inner city violence, which is almost all of it in the US. Look at the other shooters. They are also in that same male, 15-25 age group. They mostly stole their guns as well.

"In an early survey of incarcerated felons, 32 percent reported that they had acquired their most recent handgun by theft. A more recent survey reported that guns had been stolen by 13 percent of all arrestees, 25 percent of all juvenile arrestees, 29 percent of the gang members, and 30 percent of the drug sellers....so only 1/3 not "most".

Why would they steal the guns when they can simply buy them in most states without any background checks?
