Public Newsroom #65: How to Investigate Illegal Guns in Your Area

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

What public tools are available for understanding gun crime in Chicago? What can those tools show you? That’s what we’re tackling at this Public Newsroom with our friends at The Trace, an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit newsroom dedicated to shining a light on America’s gun violence crisis. Staff from The Trace will teach you how to use online data tools to look at gun trafficking and gun crime in Illinois, including the Missing Pieces Stolen/Recovered Gun Data. We’ll also facilitate a discussion about gun myths in Chicago, the stories that aren’t told about gun violence, and how gun-related issues have impacted Chicago residents.
