Going to share a few cool visuals I came across while reporting my recent piece about Robert Mercer (thread): bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Here's downtown Lake Arthur, N.M., where Mercer was a reserve police officer until last year 
Chief Norwood didn't want me to photograph his face when I visited Lake Arthur last month. Here's a shot of the chief that showed up on Instagram. The guy to the left is @RoylerGracie, a former world jujitsu champion and, apparently, a Lake Arthur reservist.
Here's a photo from the pages of the Lake Arthur police reserve newsletter, showing officers trainingin a two-man sniper/spotter team for urban warfare.
Here's @bobbarr, who runs a Mercer-funded nonprofit that advocates for the rights of off-duty officers (like Mercer) to carry concealed weapons. Barr is getting punked by Borat.
Here's a goodie cup that Barr's group hands out at police conferences.
This is from a Linkedin page from a Lake Arthur reservist, advertising his ability to carry a concealed weapon in all 50 states. (When I asked the department about this, he was disciplined "severely" for a violation of department rules.)
Here's Robert Mercer's formal release letter from the department.
Here's a patent application for a quick-release concealed carry holster that Mercer's son-in-law once filed.
Here are some shots of the Nevada gun collection that Mercer's company acquired hiveminer.com/Tags/longmount…
Here's Peter Pukish, a Centre Firearms executive and friend of the Mercer family, kicking some butt at his dojo
Here's an MK 19 belt-fed grenade launcher in action. (Mercer's gun company keeps one in Queens)
Here's that new @ptrindustries gun in action.
