Anyway this is what is posted.
"A 1997 Department of Justice survey of 3,959 prison inmates found that only 2% stated that they had bought a gun used in a crime from a gun show.[10] The remaining 98% were obtained from other sources, in which the criminal had no direct connection with a gun show."

The above survey is documented at the Department of Justice website, for once Wiki did get it right but here is the source, there are lots of interesting facts, all of which the left will have to drastically slant or ignore all together to support their arguments.

Bottom line is according to the Dep Of Justice in the 90's at least most criminal homicides were committed with large caliber revolvers, my guess is that has changed to semi automatic handguns based on what I saw in my AO. We typically took 9mm or smaller semi-autos off of the thugs we dealt with, saw a few revolvers but mostly semi-autos in 9mm or 380.
