For great Justice
I have two thoughts on this...
First, why do so many prohibited persons (half of all seizures, according to the article) possess firearms with impunity?
Second, the ability to transfer and have a handgun permit holder or designated collector take immediate possession would seem like a good reason to argue the removal of the 7-day waiting period.
Good chance the increase isn't an actual increase, but different stat data, usually the case with a change that big, especially in Baltimore. Lots of data counts "incidents" with multiple victims as 1, accidental or suicide deaths that probably aren't and so on. Considering they claim 1/2 were stolen, they are probably counting ALL voluntary surrenders, basically get caught committing a crime, "voluntarily" surrender the gun when it is discovered on someone at the crime scene, or "surrender" guns when police raid a house with a drug warrant, plenty of possibilities.
