Bad News for Gun-Grabbers: Fewer Firearm Thefts and Drastically Lower Violent Crime.<\/a><\/p>\n

Across America, the country is seeing a\u00a0historic drop in violent crime<\/a><\/strong>. One factor contributing to such a monumental decline in violent crime is a long-standing cooperative initiative between the firearm industry, NSSF and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, known as\u00a0Operation Secure Store<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

New data from ATF reveals a 60 percent drop in the number of firearms stolen during burglaries and robberies at Federal Firearms Licensees. That also includes a more than 40 percent drop in the number of incidents. Last year\u2019s data shows the trend line continued on a historic downward trajectory.<\/p>\n

This data is great news. Fewer firearm thefts mean fewer illegally obtained firearms in the hands of criminals who would misuse them to commit acts of violence.<\/p>\n

\"Axios<\/p>\n

The numbers of firearm thefts and burglaries has dropped every year since\u00a0Operation Secure Store<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0began, except in 2021 during the nation-wide crime spike that occurred during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and the defund-the-police movement. The significant drop between 2024 and 2025 shows firearm retailers are heeding the OSS message and are taking steps to protect their inventory and make themselves less vulnerable to being the victim of a burglary.<\/p>\n
