In total, police submitted 1,922,5771 crime guns to ATF for tracing between 2017 and 2021.

That number does not make sense, it’s either 19M or 1.9M. Let’s be generous and assume that trailing 1 was a typo (consistent with the commas).

This would mean ghost guns accounted for 0.01% of all the gun traces. A number so negligible as to be irrelevant.

I’m standing by the “raised by 1000%” being a bit of sensationalism.
