Thomas Macri, the ranking police officer for the Borough of Bessemer, PA, reportedly accidentally killed himself last week while “cleaning his service pistol” at home.

Donald Trump, Chris Christie, John Boehner
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has a spotted history on gun rights, has now released a position paper on guns which proposes re-legalization of machine guns, national CCW permit reciprocity, arming military troops on bases and recruiting centers, better (but not expanded) NICS checks, no gun or magazine bans, enforcement of existing gun laws, and adding ill-advised enhanced penalties […] Read More
