Gun control advocates believe gun tracing can help stop crime. The facts say otherwise

BASEDPolitics’ Tom Knighton writes, “A 2019 survey by the U.S. Department of Justice found that 43% of all criminals bought their guns on the black market. Another 6% acquired them through theft, and only 11% purchased their firearm through lawful means such as a gun store or gun show.

Another 12% used a gun brought to the crime scene by another party. Other guns were the result of straw buys—someone buying a gun for a prohibited person—or the gun was given to them by a friend or relative.

In other words, gun tracing would only be directly beneficial in just 11% of these cases, at most. Also interestingly, for some reason, “building a ‘ghost gun’” didn’t seem to make the list at all. Whether that’s an issue of the questions ask it simply didn’t happen that much is unknown.”
