According to this, the number of reported shootings taking place in Carbondale has tripled since the start of the epidemic. Police reported 19 or fewer in the year 2019 and the revious years but 59 in 2020 and that many so far this year. I would hazard a guess that the sheer number of guns floating around the country has driven the numbers up, not only here but nationally. Gun sales went up about 40% in 202 with about 20% of those sold to first time buyers.
