Topher McDougall

Sean Campbell, an independent investigative journalist focused on social justice, joins Topher McDougall, a professor specializing in conflict economics. They discuss the staggering reality that over two-thirds of weapons found at Mexican crime scenes are sourced from the U.S. Their research reveals an estimated 135,000 guns trafficked in 2022 alone. The duo unpacks the challenges faced by American law enforcement in curbing this flow and highlights how lax gun laws in the U.S. escalate cartel violence and impact migration from Mexico.
