Another resource for anyone interested in gun policy that works, a bit dated, to go along with the trace data I just love to post.

TLDR, most crimes are not committed with guns, most guns are not used in the commission of crimes. When a gun is used in the commission of a crime it is overwhelming a handgun, and even more specifically a large bore revolver - semi auto handguns were on the rise,. About a third of those guns are less than three years old and likely stolen (5% were brand new)..the remainder, and overwhelmingly not stolen, are nearly two decades old.
We've known -exactly- how to deal with our gun violence problem for some time now. It's just not politically attractive. Not for the d's..not for the r's.
