Notably, it does not sell bump stocks or high-capacity magazines and has previously halted sales of the AR-15, a firearm linked to several mass…

The huntable acreage enrolled in public-private access agreements continues to slip in some western states, new numbers show.

Meanwhile, the wardens were able to turn up online photos showing the deer still in Yosemite Lakes Park just days before it was tagged.The discrepancy allowed CDFW wardens to execute a search warrant on the suspected poacher’s house.
