Issue 13 of Vital City (A New York City-focused online journal) digs into the gun crisis from the supply side—how many guns are out there in the U.S., why, and what can be done about it? It’s a thorough and outstanding package, well worth the read, which includes examinations of gun culture, the evolution of gun marketing, and why state gun laws matter. One fact it explores you may already know—but it bears repeating: just 5% of federally licensed dealers are linked to nearly 90% of crime guns recovered by law enforcement.
