It would be difficult to track discharges in the USA. Tens of millions of Americans go hunting and skeet shooting, and go to firing ranges, etc. Unless the discharge is illegal and results in injury or property damage, it's not really an issue which you would want to spend money tracking.
- nkoren 14y agoSorry, to clarify, I meant "firearms discharged in the line of duty by police officers", as per the original article.
- 16s 14y agoOh yes, that makes sense. My apologies for misunderstanding your point. I would have thought that law-enforcement discharges were tracked as they are often fatal. If not at the federal level, then certainly the state level.
- meepmorp 14y agoI think he meant discharges by LEOs, not private citizens. And we're probably only talking about during duty shooting, not target practice for the german figure - I know I send at least 100 rounds down the range when I go shooting.
