black market guns
Illicit weapon trade
Black market guns are firearms sold illegally, outside regulated channels—without background checks, registration, or other legal requirements.
The term covers weapons that are stolen, smuggled, or diverted from legal sales: Police traced the murder weapon to a black market gun dealer.
Black market guns circumvent laws designed to keep weapons from prohibited buyers.
