If a person is prohibited from buying a gun, are they much less likely to try to buy one?
I have a general thought, which may be misguided, that prohibited people are more likely to not have any interest in guns because they don't want to remind themselves that they are not allowed to own them.
I manage a private gun club in Massachusetts. I sell guns. Everyone in our club has a state-issued license to carry firearms. Because of this, when I sell guns, none of the people I sell to is a prohibited person. I have never had to deny a sale.
I'm wondering about the prohibited people who try to buy guns and if there is any way to estimate the percentage of prohibited people who try to buy them.
