| Gotta watch that "Crime Gun traced" term Many of the traced guns are innocent victims ;) One would think that a report cited in so many online locations would be available today... Google says "no" i gather every page referencing it, assumed the ATFs website would be evergreen i squirreled away the AFTs Commerce in Firearms in the United States report back in 2002 in case anyone wants to read it or keep a copy: This report is still online: TREASURY, ATF RELEASE GUN TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONS REPORT Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers today released the most comprehensive report ever about the illegal firearms market based on the work of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). The report, Following the Gun: Enforcing Federal Laws Against Firearms Traffickers documents more than 1,500 firearms trafficking investigations that led to the conviction, prosecution and sentencing of corrupt licensed dealers, straw purchasers, unlicensed dealers, and traffickers of stolen guns. The manufacturing data has resurfaced on the BATFE's site: y'all might want to squirrel that data away too It's interesting to copy the tabled text into excel and sort the data by other columns Y 2000: Pistol production TOTAL______LICENSE NAME 233598______STURM RUGER & CO INC 116664______BRYCO ARMS 90532______BERETTA U S A CORPORATION 70015______SMITH & WESSON CORP 61957______SOUTHWEST METAL FINISHING LLC 49670______BEEMILLER INC 49075______KIMBER MFG INC 42447______KEL TEC CNC INDUSTRIES INC 28723______DAVIS INDUSTRIES 26470______COLT'S MANUFACTURING CO INC 23021______SPRINGFIELD INC 21584______PHOENIX ARMS 20391______SMITH & WESSON CORP 18996______ARMS TECHNOLOGY INC 10786______TAURUS INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURING INC 9329______THOMPSON CENTER ARMS CO INC 8500______MUELLER, WALTER W MUELLER, JEFFREY W 8150______BLACK CREEK INC 7790______HASKELL MANUFACTURING INC 7491______LEINAD INC # RIFLEs MFG -----LICENSE NAME 304395 -------------STURM RUGER & CO INC 287418 -------------THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO 190018 -------------REMINGTON ARMS CO, INC 158136 -------------SAVAGE ARMS, INC 127922 -------------WRIGHT PRODUCTS 116616 -------------US REPEATING ARMS COMPANY 61387 ---------------ARGUS PUBLICATIONS INC 60231 ---------------REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, INC 57753 ---------------H & R 1871 INC NEW ENGLAND FIREARMS CO 39932 ---------------BUSHMASTER FIREARMS BFI/QUALITY PARTS CO <--- AR15s 29950 ---------------COLT'S MANUFACTURING CO INC <--- AR15s 19468 ---------------CENTURY ARMS INC 17182 ---------------THOMPSON CENTER ARMS CO INC 12390 ---------------BEEMILLER INC 11846 ---------------KEYSTONE SPORTING ARMS INC 9506 ----------------SPRINGFIELD INC 8475 ----------------ARMALITE INC <--- AR15s 7965 ----------------ACROMETAL COMPANIES, INC 5869 ----------------DEFENSE PROCUREMENT MFG SERVICES INC <--- AR15s |
