officers found a skull that appeared to recently have been dug up, they say. it was taken to the coroner's office to be identified. davis refused to tell officers how he got the skull. they found methamphetamine hidden inside his car. when it comes to violent crime, it's not just who is shooting the guns, it's how they got the guns. reports of stolen firearms are trending up. the stolen guns are often used to commit more crimes. this is what the investigative unit uncovered. at his home, senior investigative reporter, stephen stock tracks the high profile crimes to stolen guns. >> reporter: for the first time, our team traced nationally where the missing pieces come from and where they end up. we found that guns connected to crimes here in california came from as far away as florida rksz texas and georgia.

recover these. >> reporter: nbc bay area and a dozen nbc stations across the country teamed with a nonprofit organization, the trace, to find out how guns circulate around the u.s. more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies turned over their data to us. it's impossible to pinpoint how much crime is with stolen guns. police departments and lapd refuse to share what we believe are public records. the data we do have makes clear the number of stolen guns continues to increase nationally, including a spike in guns stolen from cars. >> if we don't get a handle on the problem, the number is going to keep rising and rise zing. >> reporter: our data shows 71,000 guns lost or stolen since 2010. >> they have stricter gun laws, the theft rates are still high. >> kevin says atf frequently finds stolen guns turning up

stolen from his car. it was later used in a gang related murder. your own officers have had guns stolen from them. are you going to crack down on them? what are you going to do? >> we have to look at whether they are following policy. we have a high profile incident. that is one we are looking at, whether policies were followed. we are not above the law. >> reporter: gun rights advocates like the nra say don't punish the victim for this problem. in a statement to us, the nra said, quote, a law that requires reportage is nothing but punitive. it does not prevent crimes from being committed and serves to further victimize law-abiding persons after they have been robbed. the nra backs a bill before congress, which increases prison sentences for those who steal guns. see the national story on missing pieces and a breakdown and interactive graphs and maps all on the website.

1986. so it )s not surprising in this unprecedented political year

welcome back, the american taxation system has not been reformed since 1986. it's not surprising in this unprecedented political year, donald trump and the republican controlled congress would cease the moment the restructure tax policy. if the proposal under consideration a proposal or tax cut? how does it look for us here in california. nbc bay area political analyst, larry, is here to sort things out. happy thanksgiving, by the way. i know this is a really complicated topic. can you give us the basics? >> let's begin by noting the house and senate each have their own proposals which must be resolved in a conference committee, should the senate join the house and pass a bill. the two pro po sales have more in common than not. each seek to reduce taxes, leaving a revenue gap of $1.5 trillion over the next six

decades, which would be added to the $20 trillion national debt already in place. depending on the proposals between two-thirds and 80% of a tax break dollars will go to businesses. the corporate tax rate is reduced from 35% to 20%, bringing it in line with other countries. meanwhile, regarding the personal income tax cuts, the top 1% of taxpayers would see their after tax incomes increase by 2.5%. but, the bottom 40% of all taxpayers see after tax increase of between one-half and 1%. finally, both make the corporate tax cuts permanent while the personal income tax are scheduled to end in 2027. interesting differences. >> very interesting differences there. what are the main differences there? >> okay, the house bill eliminates the estate tax.

the senate version doubles the $5.5 million tax exemption to $11 million. there would be no estate tax unless it exceeds $11 million. the house bill reduces medical report interest from $1 million to $500,000. the senate leaves the 1 million dlarls alone, it's quite important to the bay area. a third factor here of importance, the house proposal reduces the number of personal income tax brackets from seven to four. those are some of the core differences between the two proposals. >> what caught my ear is your mentioning the home mortgage reduction from $1 million to $500,000, which would have a large impact on california. >> you bet. >> is there anything else that stands out for california

residents? >> you know, probably the most cig n significant change is personal income taxpayers. that comes from elimination of state and local taxes, the income taxes, sale tax as deductible items from federal tax. that's been allowed since 1913. california is one of the highest. this is most harmful to the proposed tax reform for the state, the middle class taxpayer in this state. to give you an idea of how impactful this would be here in california, in 2014, the most recent year with complete record. american taxpayers saved 5$550 billion in federal taxes because of state and local tax deductions. in this state alone, california saved $101 billion.

that's 18% of the savings in a state with less than 13% of the nation's population. that's how important it is to us here. simply put, californians are likely getting hurt by the new tax law. >> there's a lot going on here. i'm trying to take notes. so, there's something confusing. national unemployment is down 4%. >> yep. >> corporate profits are record levels, the stock market is soaring. do we need tax cuts that will add to the deficit? >> that's in your head? >> i'm trying to follow. this might be your most difficult discussion i have had with you yet. >> that is the question of the day. look, proponents say the changes needed to spur economic growth. they add that the cuts will pay for themselves because of more people working at higher salaries. the critics say, hey, we have

been down this road before. that's when taxes are cut, in good time, the deficit explodes as a history year. if you count various deductions, the tax rate for most corporations is closer to 22%, not the 35% on the books. >> where do we go from here? >> yeah. >> it's wait and see time. i mean, that's the only way to put it. we have a two-seat majority in the senate. republicans need every vote they can get. half a dozen or so republican senators are worried about adding to that growing deficit, a historical republican value. a public opinion poll found, guess what? 52% of americans are opposed to the republican tax cut. 25% in favor. you know what? the bottom line is, almost everybody likes to see lower taxes. the lingering questions are, for who and at what cost?

>> we could talk about this for days. thanks, as always. >> stay tuned. >> stay tuned. thanks, larry. it is 7:51. still ahead on "today in the bay," it's called an ugly christmas tree. why the city did it on purpose. dry conditions. mild, san jose, 65 degrees. san rafael turning rainy and breezy. on the radar, how much rain can you expect for the rest of the weekend when we come back. ng.
