The report is part of an ongoing efforts from the Biden administration to address the gun violence epidemic in America. According to the report, 11,063,910 firearms were manufactured in the US in 2020 compared to 3,932,734 in 2000. Between 2016 and 2021, more than 45,000 firearms suspected of being privately made, including firearms commonly known as “ghost guns,” were recovered by law enforcement from potential crime scenes and reported to the ATF. A CNN analysis showed that homicides broke record highs last year, fueled by gun violence, while data previously provided to CNN showed firearm seizures and recoveries by law enforcement in several cities reached near-decade high levels.
