And that's exactly why the DOJ is the agency that should investigate.
The records are not public or accessible to investigators outside of police agencies and as has been demonstrated repeatedly police do not like to be investigated by anyone, internally or externally.
So things happen, nobody talks and life goes on.

The only reason you want DOJ to investigate is to castigate the DOJ.
"We" as citizens, have proven unable to properly handle that data.
"We" as citizens, should be able to have a detailed dissection of the data and drill down and have comprehensive discussions BUT WE DON'T.
"We" as citizens, like Mom's Demand Action and Everytown, do not look at already
PUBLICLY available data on firearm deaths for rifles (average less than 350 per year) and determine that this MASSIVE Gun Grab that divides this country is but for a tiny sliver (less than 0.1%).
So, yeh, maybe it is best NOT to have the data publicly available.
But if you wanted, you could go to your state and ask THEM for the data, or have the local paper do it.
