To be fair, the literal same is true of cops killing people. Not a stat legally required to be recorded in many states. Which is fucking insane.
That's nuts, I didn't know that!
In my country, police have to account for every round fired if they deploy their weapons.
Same in Sweden, where not only do they have to account for every bullet, they also have to account for when the boot of the car (which holds all the weapons) is ever opened
Even in the fascist utopia of Watchmen with masked cops, they still required permission to access a firearm. US police are more insane than dystopian fiction.
