Is it your sense, given your line of work, that crimes, where the perpetrators are armed with legally owned firearms, is now a higher proportion?Not to "Denny" this up but 2016 is a world ago in terms of crime. 7 years is an eternity. Crime in just the last 3 years is so different that prior to 2020. The study demonstrates the state of crime in 2016, that is about it.
I suppose the spike in gun sales in 2020 could account for it if a larger portion of the gun buyers were democrats.
