...Key Findings
In cities that report crime data to the FBI:
- - - On average, at least one gun is stolen from a car every nine minutes in the United States.
- - - The rate of gun thefts from cars is triple what it was a decade ago. This includes both consistent increases nearly every year over the decade and a marked spike during the pandemic.
- - - A decade ago, roughly a quarter of gun thefts were from cars; in 2022, over half were.
- - - Cars parked at residences (in driveways, outside homes, etc.) are the most common source of stolen guns, demonstrating the importance of securely storing guns at all times and locations.
- - - Cities in states with the weakest gun safety laws see nearly 18 times the rate of gun thefts from cars as those in states with the strongest gun laws.
- - - Memphis, Tennessee -- the city with the highest rate of guns stolen from cars -- had over 3,000 gun thefts from vehicles in 2022. A range of cities in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, reported zero gun thefts from cars.
