Original Note:
The existing note says that the majority of recovered guns come from IL. This is untrue. Guns are traced to IL a minority (though plurality) of the time. Per their own source, there were 14,792 total traces which identified the source state, and IL was the source 6,955 times. https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/firearms-trace-data-illinois-2021#source-states
