Gravel Gravy posted:Actually it was the stick gunpowder that causes them to jam because they retained moisture in the humid climate. That and because McNamara thought saving $1.50 a rifle by not chroming the internals and issuing cleaning kits was a good deal.

Ten people were hit: the gunman, who was killed, and nine pedestrians caught in the hail and ricochet of police bullets.

Samurai Sanders posted:What percentage of black market guns are stolen during home robberies, anyway? Since this thread is just the latest iteration of a loop that has basically always existed, I assume someone just knows off the top of their head. I recall reading a Department of Corrections survey from the 90s where the main responses were about evenly divided up between illegal means (theft, street purchases, etc), and getting it from friends/family. "Other" purchases such as gun shows, pawn shops, legal purchases, were 10-15% as I recall. I want to say it included statistics before and after NICS was set up and that legal purchases dropped to a couple percent after it was deployed, but I can't be sure and I can't find the survey.
