Study Finds Federal Amendments Increased Gun Sales Diverted to Criminals
I applaud this study.
Making dealers sales traceable and enforcing strict physical inventory checks will not interfere with 2nd Amend. rights at all. It’s worth doing, as we reduce criminal access, which by definition reduces the necessity for defensive firearms.

Study Finds Federal Amendments Increased Gun Sales Diverted to Criminals
Number of Guns Purchased at Milwaukee Dealer and Subsequently Diverted to Criminals Triples Following Adoption of Tiahrt Amendments
A new study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research finds that the number of guns that were subsequently linked to crime sold by Badger Guns & Ammo, a Milwaukee-area gun shop, increased dramatically after Congress adopted measures likely to reduce the risks gun dealers face if they divert guns to criminals. The study is the first to examine the impact of these amendments on the diversion of guns to criminals and was recently published online in the peer-reviewed Journal of Urban Health.
