WASHINGTON — The most expansive federal report in over two decades on guns and crime shows a shrinking turnaround between the time a gun was purchased and when it was recovered from a crime scene, indicating firearms bought legally are more quickly being used in crimes around the country.

It also documents a spike in the use of conversion devices that make a semiautomatic gun fire like a machine gun, along with the growing seizure of so-called ghost guns, privately made firearms that are hard to trace.

Crock of crap BS.

The feds intend to use this garbage 'report' to further nullify the 2nd Amendment.

The “report” is flawed from the outset by the spurious premise that there is something as “gun crime.”

Sweeping bogus bullsh*t. This was prepared by extreme far-left commies. NO CREDIBILITY. Don’t do drugs. You’ll start believing this crap. Why didn’t they do a sweeping report on the skyrocketing mass killings that have occurred since the demented one moved into the Oval Orifice and his RATS started “defunding” the police. Crimes are easier to commit under the Brandon RAT administration. He’s giving us 4 or 5 mass shootings per day. Now that would be worth reading. This report is just crap.

The US white homicide rate is comparable to Europe’s, the US Hispanic rate is lower than Mexico’s.

And the black rate is like the black homicide rate worldwide.

They just told us a pack of lies about the economy.

Here comes another from the Federal Ministry of Truth.

Home made guns are not illegal. Does the report document how many crimes are solved because law enforcement could trace a serial number?

A criminal would NEVER think of grinding off a serial number. That’s illegal...

Why would they bother if it was stolen or bought out of the trunk of a car?

Guns are getting more and more intelligent and can learn to hunt humans a lot quicker than they used to....

This is a crisis!

Here’s one

Mexico is 28.4 vs US Hispanic rate of 6.4 (and Mexico has draconian gun control)

Nigeria is 22.4 vs US black rate of 19.8.

Europe average rate is 3.0 vs US white rate of 1.7

At one point I took a look at California homicide stats, as California breaks out Hispanic from non-Hispanic (FBI combines Hispanic with white for criminals, but breaks out Hispanics for victims)

Gee, how very odd. I'm sure they must have a very good reason to do that./sarc
