The most recent press release, "Informational: Federal Court Arraignments," was submitted on Jan. 31.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives published 131 press releases the month before, the same as the current month.
The Agency investigates and prevents crimes involving the unlawful use, manufacture and possession of firearms and explosives, arson and bombings and illegal trafficking or manufacture of alcohol and tobacco products.
Gun regulations and enforcement in the US has been criticized for being lax and uncoordinated, allowing for many unregulated guns to circulate.
