Thanks in advance.
The only stats they contrive are the ones they use to pander to Congress. The weekly gun total on Propaganda Village is but one example of their pandering.

There is no incentive for them to keep any meaningful statistics. First of all, one would have to answer the question of which metrics are worth keeping track of and why?
