This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, analyzes ATF data to demonstrate the decline of the FFL industry in Washington state.

The report, utilizing ATF data, estimates nearly a billion magazines entered the commercial market between 1990 and 2021, with approximately 74% (717 million) holding 11+ rounds. This data is presented as evidence against the constitutionality of high-capacity magazine bans.

This video analyzes data from a Guardian article, highlighting that only 7% of recovered firearms were used in crimes less than three months after purchase.

This analysis, presented by an expert speaker, critically examines local news reporting on gun control in Massachusetts. The speaker meticulously deconstructs a news report by WWLP, using ATF trace data to demonstrate how the report allegedly misled viewers by misrepresenting the origin of crime guns recovered in the state.
