DC did a study and found one year that 40% of it's recovered crime guns 
came from the DC police evidence lockers.

Here's something else that should worry people;
how the Federal gov't is missing over 1000 of it's guns;
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPrint.asp?Page=%5CNation%5Carchive%5C200307%5CNA
T20030702c.html

And that does NOT cover state and local gov't agencies.

if people think that gun control is going to stop criminals from getting 
guns,they have their heads in the sand.It hasn't in any country on Earth.
