Federal report finds 68,000 guns were illegally trafficked through unlicensed dealers over 5 years
pbs.org/newshour/economy/federal-report-finds-68000-guns-were-illegally-trafficked-through-unlicensed-dealers-over-5-years
Quick Glance: Over 68,000 illegally trafficked guns through unlicensed dealers in US, report unveils
- New data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives reveals that more than 68,000 illegally trafficked firearms in the US came through unlicensed dealers who are not required to perform background checks.
- Justice Department officials stated this accounts for 54 percent of the illegally trafficked firearms in the US between 2017 and 2021.
- The firearms were used in 368 shooting cases, posing challenges for investigations as unlicensed dealers do not need to maintain sales records that could help federal agents trace the weapon back to the original buyer, said ATF Director Steve Dettelbach.
- The report, commissioned by Attorney General Merrick Garland, marks the first comprehensive analysis of firearm trafficking investigations in over two decades.
