@rustleweighed-thrasher Here are some statistics for you to chew on…
According to the NIH, a firearm is stolen every 90 seconds, with around 380,000 stolen every year. Most are stolen out of cars.
Last year the TSA confiscated 5,972 guns at airport security. One gun for every 97,917 passengers. The highest number in history.
The Border Patrol confiscated 546 firearms in 2020.
The NYPD had recovered over 6,000 firearms in 2021.
Philadelphia recovered 5,920 guns that were suspected used to commit crimes in 2021.
San Diego seized 1,089 in 2021.
Baltimore and DC seized 752 “ghost” guns alone in 2021.
On average, around 9,000 guns are seized and destroyed by the federal government each year.
In 2021, a single 3 month operation (Pegasus) in Dallas (Pleasant Grove neighborhood) resulted in 47 arrests and over 100 firearms seized.
