According to recent data released by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) under the Department of Justice, an analysis of mass shootings in the United States between 1966 and 2019 that resulted in the deaths of four or more people found that 77% of shooters used at least one legally purchased firearm in their crimes. appeared to have been used.<\/p>\n
Only 13 percent of the cases involved illegally purchased firearms being used for crimes, and there were also cases of shootings by stealing firearms from acquaintances such as family members.<\/p>\n
