Hi Revealer,
In our recent investigation, When Abusers Keep Their Guns, Reveal reporter Jennifer Gollan broke important new ground on a horrifying loophole: While federal gun laws and many state statutes prohibit domestic abusers from owning firearms, these laws are enforced on an honor system that relies on people who are prohibited from possessing firearms to disarm themselves. Many abusers never relinquish these guns, and their intimate partners pay the price.Â
To reach the most people and create the most impact, we created versions of this story across all our major platforms: Â
I’m thrilled to tell you that this investigation is already getting the attention of lawmakers: On Oct. 20, U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell organized a congressional screening of “Unrelinquished” on Capitol Hill. We’ll keep you updated on how this investigation continues to advance our mission to change minds, lives and laws.
