minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·6 months ago U.S. gun shops and smugglers tied to 78,000 firearms recovered south of the border Oh shit! Wild reveal coming up! The top 6 (see chart in the article) account for 1,102 total guns, 1.4%. 942 from Academy and Cabela’s, 1.2%. So, uh, what’s the story here? That a tiny fraction of guns recovered were from 2 of America’s top gun retail outlets? This is a non-story, nothing to see here except a couple of small timers profiteering.
