So much for the "Other states' weak gun laws are the reason we have illegally obtained guns in our state!"

ATF Data Undercuts Claim Gun-Controlled Cities Get Guns from Surrounding States
By AWR Hawkins 21 Aug 2018
ATF data undercuts claims that criminals in gun-controlled cities are getting the majority of their guns from surrounding states.
The left has long claimed that the failures of gun control in cities like Baltimore or Chicago can be chalked up to lax gun laws in surrounding states. But the ATF’s latest data defeats such claims.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the ATF was asked to trace the origin of 8,600 guns from crime scenes last year. The federal agency was able “to determine where nearly 5,900 of the firearms were sold,” and nearly half of those firearms were purchased in Maryland.
