Since 2006, more than 52,000 police guns were used in crimes across the U.S. In many cases, these weapons ended up in the hands of the general public in completely legal ways.

Chris Hacker is an investigative data reporter with CBS News who reported on this trend in collaboration with The Trace and Reveal. He joins us to share more on their reporting.
