The influx of guns is ‘ground zero for violence’ at the end of a bloody summer in Chicago – CNN

"We're not seeing truckloads of guns, we're not seeing 100, 200, 300 guns in a crate that are ending up in someone's hands. Typically, what we see from straw purchasing is you know, one or two guns at a time," said John Lausch, US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. "The ones we're really interested in are, are they putting it to the hands of someone who they believe is going to commit a crime? Somebody who they know is a gang member. Somebody who has a significant violent criminal history who is likely to use that gun to commit more acts of violence."
