They do have some interesting statistics on their website. Even their graphics seem a bit out of date.

Sent by: Records Management Program <[log in to unmask]> When a gun crime is committed in the U.S., you might assume that police would simply enter the weapon’s serial number into a computing system and come out with the name of the perpetrator. But due to years of lobbying from the NRA, no such centralized system exists. In fact, the data must be uncovered through archaic processes by the low-tech, underfunded National Tracing Center. Astonishingly, so many paper gun records are stored in the National Tracing Center, the sheer weight of the boxes was stressing the building’s infrastructure so much that it violated the building code. The center was forced to rent large outdoor storage containers to house the excess boxes, which remain today in the building’s parking lot. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.atlasobscura.com_places_national-2Dtracing-2Dcenter-3Futm-5Fsource-3DAtlas-2BObscura-2BDaily-2BNewsletter-26utm-5Fcampaign-3Deda7de0444-2DEMAIL-5FCAMPAIGN-5F2018-5F02-5F02-26utm-5Fmedium-3Demail-26utm-5Fterm-3D0-5Ff36db9c480-2Deda7de0444-2D62985833-26mc-5Fcid-3Deda7de0444-26mc-5Feid-3Df705c48c47&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=iX3ycH8yptJfx-dLzP78DmV0l_s754dQNtFw3Sim3q4&s=budW61aikjoXUEu2wg9YJvobKkRdbjwjKd2vWXNgQD4&e= Christopher Ferry, CRM Boston, MA [log in to unmask] List archives at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lists.ufl.edu_archives_recmgmt-2Dl.html&d=DwIFaQ&c=9ut6RcAKs8AF_YMM4QH5hA&r=_6PbLM0te6ENLXpFkcs0gshBoLRfaIKHjf7hL15siJY&m=HCKnJb61e53BPqGuzNUZbQHlgHHF0NOuHC3jANMVf1Q&s=699gSr3elRMz-jr81vDwTGJEa9D-CntX-HBqAwITtv8&e= Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
