Most of them were stolen from suburbanites in burglaries. A good proportion of the rest came from gun shows in Dixie, run up to Boston a day later and on the street the day after that. A few of them are strawman purchases.

as posted before - I expect the guns (if we can trace them to the original sale) where from Virginia. I95 is the "iron pipeline".

Our Gun shows are so loose a bunch of teenagers from Denver named Eric and Dylan were able to get armed. Our pawn shops advertise ar-15s, and you can get them easier than a car.
