America’s Stolen Guns: A Silent Contributor to Gun Crimes in the U.S. (2024)
The issue of guns in America mainly arises from stolen firearms, as it’s uncommon for lawful gun owners to commit crimes. However, in America, being a victim of gun theft is unique because victims are often blamed for making themselves vulnerable to criminals.
- 1,074,022 firearms were reported stolen in the U.S. between 2017 and 2021, which equates to an average of 200,000 per year.
- There were more guns stolen in 2017 than in 2021, despite an increase in gun sales nationwide in 2021.
- 85.9% of those possessing a firearm, when they committed their crimes, purchased or obtained the firearm from somewhere other than a licensed dealer.
- Firearm-related homicides are largely related to socioeconomic disadvantages and poor upbringings.
