A .357 Smith & Wesson Goes Berserk

This just in: "An Ohio gun went berserk in a crowded shopping mall, shooting six people before reloading and firing three more shots at fleeing shoppers."

Hal Lindsey shoots down the myth of self-animating guns.

AP Wakes Up

Federal agents seized inventory and paperwork in a raid of a gun parts manufacturing company here last week, the company's owner said.
