#3 NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill bemoaned the number of guns that make it over state lines into New York.

“Over and over again, New York City finds itself the final destination for illegal firearms,” he said.

Apparently Commissioner O’Neill never studied economics.

#4 All weapons were purchased legally by suspects or their straw buyers in Virginia.

No. The guns were purchased illegally. That's why they got busted and the guns themselves are now considered illegal contraband. Now, the guns were sold legally. And prior to that sale the guns were legal products. But you see it's the actions and intent of the criminals that determines legality not the process or products. It's really not that difficult of a concept to grasp. But, of course, when the events are stated correctly it really doesn't advance their narrative now does it.

#5 If you buy a car in another state, but intend to drive it in your state, it usually involves getting a state tag within so many days, plus paying state taxes on it. Otherwise, you have an illegal vehicle. Not much different. BTW cars kill more people than guns.

#7 There's an obvious solution: New York needs to put up TSA style border stations and search everybody who comes in for guns, everyday. They're your laws, you enforce them.
That'll fix multiple problems.
