@MMFlint This is crazy. But I'm an investigative reporter thats covered American gun violence for the last 8 years: If you could spare like 10 minutes, I'd like to chat...📞

I think this is in your wheelhouse and don't know where to go.

Impressive work from @champebarton and @AlainStephens: Shot by a Civilian Wielding a Police Gun https://t.co/Fn7HNBR0Wi

[Jennifer Mascia @JenniferMascia]

"More than 52,000 police guns have been involved in crimes since 2006. Many of those weapons were resold by law enforcement agencies sworn to protect the public."

Stellar reporting from @AlainStephens @champebarton and @CBSNews https://t.co/o28H9Ym7LG

@Mike___Kilo @teamtrace @ATFHQ @WBUR Let me tell you bout Hyman Lehman...😂

[The Trace @teamtrace]

NEW: @ATFHQ is supposed to regulate the gun industry and protect the American public from gun crime. But the agency often falls short of that mandate.

@AlainStephens explains why this is no accident in the latest episode of The Gun Machine with @WBUR: https://t.co/A8NGGtKpHw

[Ted Alcorn @TedAlcorn]

If you want to stem gun violence, America's endless appetite for guns seems like cause for despair—but what if lethality is not really what many gun buyers are shopping for? Read my @TeamTrace debut about the surprising popularity of 'less lethal' weapons. https://t.co/ZvjaZhgo5l

@Mike___Kilo You're not the first to ask for a poster.

Calendar incoming. 📅

But how about that T-Rex PC 🦖👀

I'm a journalist not a saint.

New headshots in.

@Mike___Kilo @khalil_spencer @teamtrace @AuthorPMBarrett I mean you can hear me loading the Glock all day.

But the classiest piece I own is a Taylor Smoke Wagon. 🤌🏾🤠

[Alain Stephens @AlainStephens]

@khalil_spencer @teamtrace @WBUR @radleybalko 1033 was the most direct. But there is a whole network of grants and funds to aid.

And again, many acquisitions occur with lack of public oversight.
