...and ask if I were a criminal. They just don't do that.

The problem with questions like these, is that they cannot be answered at face value because they are too vague to make sense.

Perhaps you could ask: 'How many guns in the USA...'

- Are the proceeds of a burglary, have not been recovered and returned to their owner, and therefore, by definition, are in the hands of a criminal...

- Were obtained via a 'straw purchaser' and passed on to someone not legally eligible to own one...

- Regularly carried for criminal purposes or in conjunction with other criminal activity, such as an armed drug dealer.

Those are the questions to ask.

Police departments take the task of 'getting illegal guns off the streets' very seriously.
