This particular gun has become popular enough that some gun companies, including Legacy Sports International, Auto-Ordnance and Inland Manufacturing Inc. are churning out new production M1 Carbines to supplement the flagging surplus supply. |

"Our time is now.

Michael Peters, who was off duty at the time, apparently pulled up at the event, parked, then drank a beer.

There will be a new president in the White House. President Trump said he will defend our right to keep and bear arms. He can help honest gun owners from the Oval Office without the help of the legislature. He can help gun owners as soon as he takes office.
Barack Obama made dozens of anti-gun executive orders. Executive orders can be rescinded by the next president. On the first day in office, President Trump can stop the abuse. |

With pro-gun President-elect Donald Trump heading to the White House, substantial deregulation regarding firearm suppressors could be a reality. The use of suppressors is legal in 42 states and certainly provide protections to the environment and the human ear. But the path to acquiring a suppressor is circuitous because the items are regulated under the auspices of the National Firearm Act (1934).

The Walking Dead has been a huge hit for cable network AMC. The comic book adaptation tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world where zombies have overrun the world. Governments have fallen, leaving pockets of survivors to cope with the new world. It speaks a lot to the human experience. The zombie genre itself has been no stranger to social commentary, more prominently speaking to the times through George A. Romero’s films about the undead such as Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. |

Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital reviewed all available articles published in peer-reviewed journals from January 1970 to August 2016 that focused specifically on the connection between firearm homicide and firearm laws. |
