verified The Boston Herald is
The Boston Herald is probably referring to the case recently concluded where guns were sold to gang members from Boston who then used them in crimes there. DR has a good point. BATF must have those numbers. The police certainly do. But they have to include not only sales through Uncle Henry's but all private sales because the guns traced don't just come from Uncle Henry sales.
No cigarette is ever desirable. The difference of course is guns are desirable. We should not be sending the message that guns aren't desirable.

Maybe stopping cigarette
Maybe stopping cigarette advertising on television didn't keep people from smoking, either, but it certainly didn't hurt and at least it stopped sending the message that smoking is desirable.
Who benefits from buying guns through Uncle Henry's? That's the real question. In hard cold numbers, how many of those sales are legitimate, and how many not (criminal activity involved)?
Does anybody know? I'm betting not.
