How do criminals get illegal guns?

Well, most don't need to. There are easy access ways to get them in the US, even for former criminals and people with psychiatric issues, since there are several background check loopholes here. But for those that do, there are underground black markets that sell guns, normally run سے طرف کی criminal groups. Some of them are stolen, it just doesn't seem all that common. Another common method of acquisition is to ship them in from other countries, which does work, it just depends on the country and the distance.

It's very easy and simple to acquire illegal substances from your own country and others, so easy in fact that sometimes it's frightening. The underground black market has contacts around the world. Mostly آپ hear on the media how they stopped a certain "business" selling contraband, but actually they only stopped around 3% of the actual company, as they would be the underdogs and not the actual people running it.
All they do is call up their contacts and order certain contraband. They give a تاریخ and a price, then the "contact" who is most likely foreign, builds the contraband and ships them to the place he's been told to ship them to.

They drop off the contraband, the "pick-ups" دکھائیں fake ID's, pay the money and take the contraband. Obviously they have to hide it once they پار, صلیب the boarder and it's very easy to do that. After a few days to a weeks travel, دکھانا ID's, paying loads of cash, back-tracking and hiding, the customer has his contraband and is now able to freely sell in his own country illegal guns and other substances. Most come سے طرف کی boat, but criminals these days have become so clever they can easily take these things on planes as well.
It's a very risky, expensive and dangerous type of work and one i don't wish anyone to get involved in. All آپ hear is the people who've been arrested trying to sell the stuff, آپ never hear about the poor people who have been shot and killed trying to get the stuff into the country سے طرف کی rival gangs یا even the customers themselves who don't want to actually pay up what they owe.

In America, people tech people to use guns. Anyone آپ see in a gun دکان may be a criminal. Criminals could even be gun makers.
