My new story, pubbed in partnership w/ Rolling Stone:
A former NRA employee was shot and killed by her husband.
A red flag law could have saved her.
But despite initially supporting these laws in 2018, the NRA, joining a trend, now opposes them.

16 years after the NRA ignored the death of one of their own that could have been prevented with red-flag laws, Rolling Stone and @teamtrace offer an account of the final period of her life and tell the devastating story of what can happen when overt signals of impending danger are ignored.
"If it wasn’t for me bringing the gun into the picture. Dawn would still be here," the killer tells Rolling Stone.
