ATF gun recovery and trace data from 2023 for Illinois shows that Illinois is the state of origin from which the majority of guns are recovered/traced. This runs counter to the left’s frequent claim that Chicago has a gun problem because other states do not have gun controls as stringent as those in Illinois.
, 22,973 firearms were recovered or traced in Illinois in 2023. Of those, 9,147 were from Illinois and, in a distant second, 2,796 were from Indiana. Beyond Indiana there were not even 1,000 guns recovered or traced with origins in another single state. : “Also, note that a gun being from another state does not necessarily mean anything. Someone may have moved to Illinois, then had the gun stolen there, where it was used in a crime. The average time-to-crime of an Illinois traced gun is over 6 years, so the idea that this is guns being bought up in southern states then shipped to Chicago to be issued for service in gang warfare is ridiculous.”, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
