The Truth About Guns

We’ve reported recently how Massachusetts’ sweeping new anti-gun law, launched early by an emergency preamble attached to it by Gov. Maura Healey, is facing a lot of pushback from pro-freedom groups.

The Beretta M9, the US military’s adopted version of the Beretta 92FS, was adopted amid a flurry of controversy during the acquisitions process.
