The U.S. Supreme Court rules that two American gun companies are not liable in a lawsuit filed by Mexico, which claims the firms contributed to the country’s escalating violence through negligence in their sales practices.

Considering their exceptionally long production history, obtaining an early example of these .38 Special wheelguns can prove to be a challenge. However, I recently received one of the…

The Michigan House Democrats introduce new legislation aimed at regulating ghost guns, firearms that can be 3D printed or assembled from kits without serial numbers. If passed, the bills will mandate owners to serialize existing ghost guns within 18 months, and also impose felony charges for the production or sale of unmarked firearms, potentially leading to five years in prison.
