Jusionyte emphasizes that the very guns purchased in America not only arm criminal organizations but also spark the refugee crisis at the U.S. southern border. She notes that legal…

I substituted the XT into the daily carry rotation with the Streamlight original Wedge model I’ve been using for the past couple of years. The new Wedge XT, like the original, is USB-C rechargeable, but the port is on the side rather than the end.
