The most recent press release, "Three Charged With Stealing Firearms From La Crosse County Gun Shop," was submitted on June 30.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives published 145 press releases the month before, marking a 13 percent decrease for the current month.
The Agency investigates and prevents crimes involving the unlawful use, manufacture and possession of firearms and explosives, arson and bombings and illegal trafficking or manufacture of alcohol and tobacco products.
Gun regulations and enforcement in the US has been criticized for being lax and uncoordinated, allowing for many unregulated guns to circulate.
