How many crime guns does NYPD actually recover?
I saw a show on History Channel claiming 19th century gangs in the eastern cities rented guns (when they did not want to be close up and personal.) It seems the practice has not ended.

So, this begs the question,
How many crime guns does NYPD actually recover?
Also, just how big is this "iron pipeline"?
