This study, released jointly with One Aim Illinois, analyzes the most recent data available from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on lethal gun violence in the state and compares Illinois firearm death data to other Great Lakes states. The report also offers firearms trace information on guns used in crime in Illinois from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Throughout the study are quotes from Illinois residents impacted by gun violence who are members of the One Aim’s Survivors Council.
