I read something that I found interesting yesterday. As of 2005 there were more than 2.5 million registered guns that had been reported stolen (obviously that number will have gone up since then) and roughly 30% of all crimes committed with a gun are done using a stolen gun. The huge majority of these guns are handguns.

Clearly stealing guns is a major way that criminals get guns. I wonder what, if anything could be done to help educate people on how to make it more difficult for their guns to be stolen.
