We’ve moved!
Metro Pulse moved lock, stock & barrel yesterday – consequently, this week’s online edition will be slightly delayed. Please bear with us until we find the box we packed our webmonkey in.
COVER STORY

FEATURE
Automatics for the People
Expiration of the federal ban on assault weapons hasn’t produced much of an, ahem... boom in sales of the military-style, rapid-fire weapons, Molly Kincaid learns as she snaps off a few rounds to familiarize herself with the “kick” some people get out of owning and firing them.
Citybeat
This week:
Molly Kincaid reports on National Coal Corporation’s recently filed lawsuit against members of the local environmental organization Katuah Earth First.
Plus: Seven Days and Street Talk.
