Synopsis
At the ATF’s National Tracing Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, agents handle around 8,000 gun traces each day. The facility operates under a complex system that complicates tracing firearms back to their owners. With more gun stores in the U.S. than McDonald's, Starbucks, and supermarkets combined, agents sift through extensive paperwork. The documentary outlines the challenges law enforcement faces in tracking gun ownership and the realities of managing firearms records in America.
