I probably did not give enough information. I believe that a small percentage of the legally obtained guns eventually become used in violent crimes. Thinking about it, I believe that most folks who obtain guns legally probably hold on to them or sell them to someone else equally law abiding.
This is a hunch not based on any known facts (so don't ask, please).
