We’ll tell you how many guns were sold in Colorado last month in advance of their new gun law that went into effect on August 1st. On a related topic, we’ll tell you about a federal court ruling in Texas about the legality of silencers (suppressors) for pistols & rifles and which states still ban their possession & use. We’ll tell you why the water crisis in Puerto Rico has more to do with its government than the weather.
