A record number of illegal guns were taken off streets in Hartford in 2022. The city also saw an increase in the number of homicides.
With that year in the books, Channel 3 dug into the capital city’s crime statistics.
Three hundred sixty-seven illegal guns were taken off Hartford’s streets during the calendar year. Fifty-eight of them were ghost guns, according to police.
With a new year underway, they said their efforts will continue to try to keep illegal guns off streets.
...
The number of non-fatal shootings in Hartford decreased.
In 2022, there were 136, compared with 148 in 2021.
Homicide numbers, however, went up to a number that hasn’t been seen since 2003.
In 2022, there were 39 homicides.

“Fifty-eight of them were ghost guns, according to police.”
Does it make a difference if you are murdered with a “ghost gun?”

It sounds like the shooters are getting more accurate—guess the article did not want to figure out whether that was good or bad...

There’s no such thing as an illegal gun.
There are however a lot of illegal things that really need rectification with good old fashioned justice.

A 9mm will blow your lungs out, JACK! Pedo Joe told us so. BTW, who's this Jack character he refers to whenever he gets hyped up? Any relation to Corn Pop? 😜😜

Guns are not illegal, their wrongful use is.
