10% of prisoners' weapons were purchased retail

I'd direct you to table 5 on page 7 and table 6 on page 8, if facts matter (narrative>facts)

These studies prove nothing more than the government’s incompetence and unnecessary intervention in the lives of everyone else. Private gun sellers did more to prevent violent crimes than the government’s own laws did. The ruling class is continuing to prove they are no longer a necessary evil. Only 1.3 percent of all prisoners obtained a gun from a retail source and used it during their offense, the DOJ’s study stated.

Moreover, among the prisoners who possessed a firearm during their offense, “0.8 percent obtained it at a gun show.”

You can spin heads with the data, but in the end, the feelings are what matter in post-modern, post-Christian America.

"Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams to Mass Militia 10-11-1798
