Eight days in October, November and December THE TEAM Four Washington Post Investigative Reporters and Two Researchers Editor Photographer + Videographer Web project manager Digital journalists: cartographer, graphic designer, database developer

Media Elements Print stories and photos Web stories and photo galleries Web videos – seven segments produced Interactive graphics Database of gun dealers

Goal of the Project: Break the Secrecy U.S. Congress eight years ago exempts from the Freedom of Information Act a database that traced guns used in crimes back to dealers. Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), primary sponsor of provision

The Blackout The Tiahrt Amendment silenced media investigations into gun stores, firearms trafficking and crime trends Assignment from our editor Jeff Leen: Break the secrecy

How We Broke the Secrecy Compiled a list of 511 police officers killed by firearms and traced 30 cop-killer weapons. Obtained lists of the top 12 gun dealers in the past two years who have sold the most weapons traced from Mexican crime scenes

The Work: Research Areas * How do criminals get guns? * How do cop killers get guns? * Gun trafficking in the United States and to Mexico * The ATF, NRA & the politics of guns

PG Firearms Examination logs After seizing guns, police test fire, analyze and log data FOIA’d unpublicized databases from DC and PG Firearms Exams Units. First Breakthrough: Prince George’s Data

Realco: Where DC crooks go to buy guns -2,500 guns traced to Realco -The next biggest, active dealer had 600.
