The ATF expects to trace 600,000 guns this year. "There were traces on more than 50,000 guns Chicago police officers recovered from 2017 to 2021, about 31,000 traces in Los Angeles and 19,000 in New York." "The ATF report shows 9mm pistols — manufactured by Glock, Taurus and Smith & Wesson — were the firearms most often traced in Chicago. That also was true in other big cities."
"Among the national issues the report highlighted, theft is a significant way that guns get into criminals’ hands. From 2017 to 2021, more than one million guns were stolen from private owners across the country, the report said."
See the two video reports in the article - "Chicago voters ready to leave city over crime," and "In a FOX 32 special report, Anthony Ponce looks at how the gun tracing process works and how it’s changing."

Shorter 'time-to-crime' for guns used in crimes in Chicago than in New York, Los Angeles: DOJ
Chicago’s “time-to-crime” — the period between the purchase of a gun and its recovery by the police in a crime — was far shorter than in New York or Los Angeles, according to a new government report on a measure the Justice Department said is an indicator of illegal trafficking.
