...would have blinked an eye at Newark International). I just couldn't stand the fact that I was losing six months of training because of some silly laws that put my single-shot .22 (an unlikely weapon to use in a mob hit) in the same category as an Uzi. Anyway, in the end I refused defeat but stayed within the bounds of the law, constructing a dummy rifle from an Internet printout that simulated every aspect of my Izmash, right down to a laser system to register a hit or a miss.

The first gun we decided to shoot was the 9mm Glock, a sleek black gun that is universally praised for its ultra-reliable nature (it can be shot underwater), and its light weight. After purchasing some bullets and receiving the appropriate eye and ear protection...
...extensive live coverage on TV news channels. Anyone tuning in could be forgiven for thinking that the U.S. is in the grip of an epidemic of workplace homicides. Says Barry Glassner, author of The Culture of Fear: "You start wondering whether the person at the next desk has an Uzi...
