Where’d you get that?
SayUncle correspondent Mike brought the following to my attention. After the recent Dyersburg hostage situation, the local news did the obligatory how did he get the gun story. No links, as this was broadcast on Memphis TeeVee.
Kilpatrick had been shopping for a gun for a while. The reporters interviewed two gun shop owners where Kilpatrick had been shopping for guns. Neither shop sold him the gun. The reporters concluded that he bought the gun on the street.
In short, because no evil gun shop was involved, it’s not really a news event. But we hear very few stories like this which illustrate the street market for guns.
