Based upon her writing skills, it would probably take former ATF official Marianna Mitchem 15 or 20 minutes just to tell someone that they're on fire.

Mitchem really likes her words, and it shows, according to a long, wordy story she recently co-wrote for her new employer, Everytown for Gun Safety.

Mitchem joined Everytown in August after leaving the ATF. One former ATF official said she reached out to her former colleagues after leaving, trying to target Glock and Glock-type handguns, but more about her bio in a bit.

Her story, "The Supply Side of Violence: How Gun Dealers Fuel Firearm Trafficking," like much of Everytown's anti-gun propaganda, targets gun dealers as if they're solely responsible for crime.

Mitchem's coauthors, Nick Suplina and Chelsea Parsons, both worked for the New York State Attorney General's Office and are longtime Everytown staffers. As you can imagine, the three authors worked hard to target President Donald Trump and his administration for its pro-gun stance.
