The analysis identified almost 100 confiscated weapons originally sold to customers buying two or more handguns. These most likely represent a fraction of the actual number of confiscated handguns traceable to multiple sales because many Colorado police agencies do not report all their impounded guns to CBI, and the bureau generally keeps impounded gun records for only two years. About 40 percent of the confiscated handguns identified in The Post's analysis were sold by ABC Loan, a tiny store on East Colfax Avenue. Gregory Golyansky, the owner of ABC Loan, said his store sells a large number of inexpensive handguns because it keeps its prices low and serves people who cannot spend hundreds of dollars to protect themselves. But if an unusual number of the weapons his store sold to multiple-handgun buyers have been confiscated, he said, that may be because police tend to stop and search people in poorer neighborhoods.
Police usually pick on poor neighborhoods a lot more than they do on wealthy neighborhoods.
It's just the poor people who are more often prosecuted. One pawnshop among many, but this one is different Colfax Avenue is the Main Street of metropolitan Denver, running from the state Capitol to the suburbs east and west. ABC Loan occupies one corner of Colfax in Aurora, sharing a city block with four other pawnshops, a temporary labor office, an Army surplus store and a downtown revitalization group.
