Remington Outdoor Co. has laid off more than 120 workers at an upstate New York factory in response to falling demand for firearms, dealing a blow to an upstate village of 8,000. Since Donald Trump’s presidential victory eased concerns about stiffer gun laws, the small-arms industry has seen a drop in sales. As a result, orders for Remington handguns have slowed, a company spokeswoman said Monday. That is “a dynamic from which Remington is not immune,” she said of the industry challenges. |

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg announced on Tuesday that he will not charge the Seattle police officers who shot and killed Che Taylor during an attempted arrest last year. Seattle officers Michael Spaulding and Scott Miller opened fire on Taylor, 46, on Feb. 21, 2016 as they were attempting to arrest him. The officers were part of an undercover drug operation in Seattle's Wedgewood neighborhood. Believing Taylor was armed, the officers opened fire after he allegedly did not obey commands. |

A Green Bay Council member believes it's time to take a hard look the issue of guns in city buildings. Local 5's Kris Schuller reports while concealed carry and open carry are legal, she believes those guns are keeping people out of the political process. Green Bay Alderwoman Barb Dorff is longtime gun owner. “Guns certainly don't frighten me,” said Dorff. |

A club at a taxpayer-funded university in Florida advocates violence against political conservatives and trains members in a “leftist fight club” open to everyone but Republicans. The group is called Knights for Socialism and, though there are hundreds like it in college campuses across the country, it appears to be in a class of its own for openly threatening violence. Judicial Watch obtained records under Florida’s Sunshine Law about the group which is operating at the University of Central Florida (UCF), a publicly-funded institution in Orlando with an enrollment of about 55,000.

There are two polar-opposite positions regarding the Second Amendment currently being pushed in the gay community. One points to the June 12, 2016, Orlando Pulse attack as evidence for why gun control is needed now. This position—espoused by popular LGBT magazine The Advocate, among others—encourages the view that lawmakers should target guns that were legally purchased as well as guns that are illegal.

Students at the University of Virginia spent part of their day discussing one of the most heated and polarizing topics in our country. Dozens attended a lecture to listen to an author talk about why he believes the country needs less expansive gun laws. In his book the author's main argument is that more guns make us less free and ultimately undermine our rights titled Do Guns Make us Free? Author Firim Debrabander argues that the way the National Rifle Association wants to expand the Second Amendment undermines the First Amendment.

Increasing populations of feral hogs and the damage they are causing landowners prompted Florala’s City Council to authorize the discharge of firearms in the city limits to hunt them. Feral hogs have become a problem all over Alabama, and recently have been seen more and more inside Florala’s corporate limits. Mayor Terry Holley said he has trapped six on his property, and game cameras have shown more than 60 on one adjacent landowner’s property; and 54 on another adjoin piece of property. |

For 2017, Hornady is offering a new line of ammunition. Unlike most lines from various ammo manufacturers, the company’s new Black line is not bullet-specific. Instead, it might be best described as platform-specific. This means instead of all of the loads in the line utilizing the same type projectile, each is optimally tailored to the most-common platform the ammo is likely to be fired from. In other words, Hornady’s Black ammunition is made up of loads ideally adapted—for common practical use—to the guns for which they’re intended. The 5.56 NATO SBR Black load is a perfect example. |

It may be the only place in the world that will sell you guns at the airport instead of taking them away. Travellers killing time at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport are curious as they duck into a shop with a gun rack on the wall and a cabinet full of pistols near the cash register. Next to that are racks of kids' T-shirts printed with "I Love AK." That's AK-47, the famed Russian rapid-fire assault rifle that has made its manufacturer, Kalashnikov, a worldwide name. |

The 10mm Automatic was introduced in 1983. It was the brainchild of several shooters, including Col. Jeff Cooper, with a goal of creating the ultimate fighting cartridge in a semi-automatic pistol. It started life with a cut-down .30 Rem. case and the 180-grain, .40-caliber bullet used in the .38-40 Win. |
