Exploiting your enemy�s weakness is good military strategy. That also holds true in the cutthroat marketplace that is the firearm business. What does your gun offer that the other guy�s doesn�t? Well, talk it up and make it seemingly the most important thing in the world. That�s been a dilemma for awhile now, but the new Taurus Spectrum pistol is about to take its shot. |

With Gary Ramey's fledgling gun-making business taking off in retail stores, he decided to start offering one of his handguns for sale on his website.
That didn't sit well with the company he used to process payments, and it informed him it was dropping his account. Another credit card processing firm told him the same thing: It wouldn't do business with him.
The reason? His business of making firearms violates their policies. |

The student, known in court documents as S.G., had her expulsion reversed by the Henry County Board of Education in a May 29 decision, according to Michael Tafelski of the Georgia Legal Services Program, who represented the student in the case. The student was expelled in early 2014 after being involved in a fight in the last semester of her senior year. When her claims of self-defense were ignored by the school district, rulings in Henry County Superior Court as well as the Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the expulsion decision and ordered the record expunged. |

S.B. 163 was introduced in March by Sen. Bryan Townsend, D-Newark. It called for blocking the sale, transfer or import of about 60 specific makes and models of firearms, including the AR-15-platform rifle. |

Since Hornady's inception, it has developed numerous handgun and rifle loads, in popular calibers, that proved to be top performers across a wide range of ballistic pursuits�target shooting, competition, hunting and self-defense. Similar to these loads were the company's time-tested bullets�the renowned XTP for handgun cartridges, and the accurate hollow points and boattail hollow points in the rifle loads. Developed in the late 80s, the XTP bullets were the first hollow points on the market that gave consistent, reliable terminal performance, thus becoming the centerpiece for Hornady's American Gunner Ammunition line. |

When it comes to engaging a violent physical threat at bad-breath distance, most would rather solve the tactical problem with a handgun as opposed to going hands-on with an assailant.
You can never know why, when or where an attack may occur. You won�t know if it�s a knife attack, an active shooter or a baseball bat coming straight at your brain box. All the specifics of an immediate assault are provided only by your attacker(s). At the time and place of their choosing, you may not have a firearm, the opportunity to access or deploy your firearm, or exigent circumstances may be such that even if you could, you may not be able to take the shot due to myriad reasons. |

The debate�s results are now aggravatingly predictable: The boisterous neighbor shuts downs � or shouts downs � all arguments when the citified coworker demonstrates that they have little understanding of an impressively simple tool. (A clip isn�t a magazine, the �AR� in AR-15 isn�t an abbreviation for �assault rifle,� etc.) The pedantic tactic, as perfectly described by firearm aficionado Adam Weinstein, is �gunsplaining.� For someone trying make a larger point about gun violence, gunsplaining can be infuriating but, for someone with a passing familiarity with guns, the audacity of a liberal trying to make a larger, sweeping point without knowing some of the basic concepts or having any hands-on appreciation can be equally so. |

A couple weeks back Guns.com highlighted the story of Gabby Franco, how she gave up her dreams of Olympic shooting in Venezuela to come to America in pursuit of a new dream. It�s a lengthy story that details the ups and downs of giving up something you love to pursue a better life. Toward the end of the video Franco asked some very pointed questions which should be asked of anyone who wants to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. These questions are not only serious in nature but relevant to the discussion of gun control on a broader level. The blurb that really caught me and stuck with me was this one: �Criminals they don�t follow the law. |

Donald Trump Jr. urged Montana Republicans to rally against U.S. Sen. Jon Tester in the fall election and said Friday that the two-term Democrat had fallen out of step with the state�s voters on issues ranging from immigration to gun control.
Tester came into the crosshairs of President Trump after releasing allegations in the spring that derailed the White House�s Veterans Affairs nominee, Ronny Jackson. |
