AG Shapiro has been aggressive in combating illegal gun trafficking in Pennsylvania. In 2017, his office’s Gun Violence Task Force arrested 1,439 gun traffickers and seized 2,438 illegal guns. Last year, his office’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigation recovered 390 illegal guns during a statewide drug busts.
“Track + Trace is focused on combating the everyday gun violence that is devastating our communities and families. If tracing crime guns can prevent one mother from burying her child, one person from buying a gun on behalf of a criminal, or assist one agency in figuring out how guns in the community are ending up in the hands of criminals, then we will have made progress for the people of Pennsylvania,” according to AG Shapiro.
