If you take a look at the above (atf tdr), btw..and the stats are similar for any state..trace data shows us that new guns are rarely used in crimes..the national time-to-crime average is 11 years. The national average age for a possessor in a trace is 36. Pistols and revolvers are the go-to...and 9mm is the caliber of choice...... not by a little, by alot
If we focus our enforcement on pistols and POS.... while making efforts to buyback 10 year old (or older) 9mm's......that will significantly reduce gun crime.
Understanding that data also explains why our efforts at reducing gun crime have been failing. We've been focusing on the wrong demographics, the wrong guns, and the wrong reduction methods. Political expediency and value has determined those things to an unhealthy extent, of late..and actual progress gets lost in that shuffle. It get;s people elected (on both sides)...but it doesn't do anything about our gun problem.
