I guess since there are so few of them, it's less work. He haunts anti-gun blogs now. I guess since there are so few of them, it’s less work.

I don't have an answer for it, and I suspect Bryan doesn't either. It blows a hole in the theory that gun laws are the independent variable at work here. This is kind of a funny thing to think about, but you would also imagine that gun runners buying multiple firearms, worth thousand and thousands of dollars, would want to save on the sales tax too. But Delaware is not a large source of traced crime guns. Why? This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm going to suggest it's because Delaware has a smaller population of criminals engaged in firearms trafficking. It's just a matter of sheer numbers. Philadelphia is a much larger city, with a much larger number of criminals who are willing to illegally traffic in firearms.

You would think DE would be a more attractive black-market source since secondary sales there are completely unregulated.

Ever. There were always these explanations that seemed perfectly reasonable (to the inmates) about precisely why they committed some sort of heinous crime. And it always involved blaming someone else. Kinda like how New Jersey blames Pennsylvania for its gun crime.
