Gun violence in a pandemic.

Firearm sales are soaring, but manufacturers like Henry and Century Arms received coronavirus relief funds from the federal government.

  • Ashburnham man pleads guilty for illegal firearm sales.
  • Two teens killed in Boston.
  • Inside a Florida Walmart, man pulls gun out over mask argument.
  • A deadly shooting at the home of a Federal Judge in New Jersey riddled with misogyny and racism.
  • New Mexico District Attorney sues vigilante militia group with ties to white supremacy.
