Malik Bakr is of legal age to buy a firearm. He wanted to go on a hunting trip with some friends. He went to the new Bass Pro Shops in Gainesville, and brought his friend Heath Smiley, an experienced hunter and gun owner. "It was his first time owning one. First time ever shooting one, I went with him as guidance to tell him what he should buy for his first time, what would be most comfortable for him," said Smiley.

Gather 'round, boys and girls! Auntie Tamara has a story to tell! Back in the early 1990s, when I first got into the gun-selling business, it was the tail end of the great period of transition for American law enforcement agencies from revolvers to semi-automatic pistols. Smith & Wesson revolver collecting, as we know it today, was in its infancy and mostly revolved around pre-war N-frames and such. As a consequence, catalogs from wholesalers were just awash in 4-inch, medium-frame wheelguns for stupid-cheap prices.

"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks, insinuated Donald Trump on Hillary Clintons alleged desire to repeal the right to bear arms while campaigning back in August.

His behavior was denounced not only by politicians on both sides of the aisle, including Clinton running mate Sen. Tim Kaine and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, but also local gun enthusiasts.
