It emphasizes that a vast majority of stolen guns come from private citizens, often due to improper storage like leaving them in vehicles.

This video discusses S. 1319, the Preventing Illegal Weapons Trafficking Act, introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar.

The discussion touches on the impact of these policies on citizens' rights and safety.
