DES MOINES, Iowa — The number of guns seized by the Des Moines Police Department has gone down, according to the department’s 2024 report.
In 2024, DMPD seized 598 guns, that’s 33 less than 2023 with 631. In 2022, there were 737 guns seized. Over the last three years, it has gone down 19%.
So is seizing fewer guns a good or bad thing? Does that mean there’s less guns to seize or less people and resources to seize them?…
