Hmmm. Does anyone notice anything, oh, I don’t know, just a little bit off with the photo below? I guess my guns haven’t been working properly all this time seeing as how they only send the actual bullet downrange which the casing is either ejected from the gun or stays in the chamber.

Teen in MA Charged With Murder After Armed Citizen Shot and Killed His Partner in Crime

Mon, 04/21/2014 - 03:09

Unfortunately, I think it needs to be passed in more states and become more publicized in order to act as a proper deterrent to group crime. In this case, a Massachusetts teen finds […]

Unsecured, loaded gun stored in shoebox in a closet – check. Children in danger – check. Children who lack any safety instruction on firearms – check.
