Based on ATF compliance inspections of the nation's licensed gun shops, data shows that that U.S. gun shops failed to account for more than 62,000 guns.

Every gun that leaves a gun shop without a background check is one that fuels the illegal gun market and becomes prized by criminals for it's un-tracability. Corrupt gun dealers who sell guns in illegal, off-the-book sales frequently claim that those firearms were lost or stolen when ATF compliance inspections determine that the dealers' guns are unaccounted for in their inventories.

The report concludes that a day that goes by without basic controls on gun dealer inventories is another day that at least 56 guns on average flow out of gun shops without background checks or records of sale, endangering our families and our communities.
