Gun Control Laws Result In Police Selling Guns To Public<\/a><\/p>\n

California Provides Multiple Examples<\/big><\/big><\/big>
\nIn Mexico, one of the most common sources of firearms, both for criminals and for people who simply want to protect themselves, are police officers.\u00a0 Obtaining firearms legally is nearly impossible, creating a money making opportunity for cops, who can easily buy firearms and resell them.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the same thing is happening in the state of California.\u00a0 For decades, California has required an increasing list of features of handguns placed on the \u201capproved list\u201d of handguns that may be sold in the state.\u00a0 Originally, this was done to drive to cost of handguns up, so that poor minorities could not afford them \u2013 and yes, the Democratic authors and supporters of the bill actually said this.\u00a0 More recently, the state has required \u201cmicro-stamping\u201d of fired cases \u2013 something that no gun maker has been able to accomplish.\u00a0\u00a0This has resulted in an ever shrinking list of guns legally available for retail sale in the state.<\/p>\n

There are, however, two legal sources of pistols not on the approved list.\u00a0 The first is private purchase from an average resident who either bought the gun before the law took effect, or before the handgun was dropped from the list, or before moving into the state.\u00a0 The second is police officers \u2013 who can but any handgun they wish. Private citizens can sell their guns privately to anyone able to pass a background check.\u00a0 Police used to be able to do so in the same way, although this has changed in recent years.\u00a0\u00a0The idea was that if a cop bought a gun and did not like it, they could sell it privately, buy something else and not be in violation of state laws.<\/p>\n
