A June 2016 Justice Department Inspector Generals report revealed that between 2008 and 2015 the U.S. Attorneys office considered prosecuting less than 32 people per year for lying on form 4473, the federal application to buy guns.

Seems the lack of enforcement is pretty systemic.

Gun ownership has soared there. To be honest, this headline surprised me as I was unaware of their gun laws. Turns out, there gun laws are categorized as restrictive. Seems they have a lot of unlicensed and unregistered guns.
