A recent ATF report, the first in 20 years, challenges common gun control arguments. It indicates that only 3% of traced crime guns between 2017-2021 were acquired at gun shows. The report also highlights a significant increase in traced pistols compared to rifles, shotguns, and revolvers, and questions the focus on 'assault weapons' bans. Furthermore, it suggests that 'ghost guns' constitute a small fraction of traced crime guns, and the 'iron pipeline' argument may be overstated, with a majority of recovered crime guns originating within the same state.

This video analyzes recent crime statistics in New York City, challenging common gun control narratives.
