Unfortunately for ArmaLite, the rifle's aluminum/steel composite barrel (an untried prototype design specified for the tests by ArmaLite's president, George Sullivan, over Stoner's vehement objections) burst in a torture test conducted by Springfield Armory in early 1957.[4] ArmaLite quickly replaced it with a conventional steel barrel, but the damage had been done. The final Springfield Armory report advised against adoption of the rifle, stating that "it would take five years or more to take it through tests to adoption".[3] While ArmaLite objected, it was clear that the AR-15 Accessories, a brand-new rifle still in the prototype stage, was at a disadvantage compared to competing designs with longer development cycles, and by 1957, U.S. Army infantry forces urgently required a modern, magazine-fed infantry rifle to replace the M1.[5] In the end the Army chose the conventional T44, which entered production as the M14 rifle in 1957.

Missouri: Raymore City Council passes ordinance respecting members' Right-to-Carry
By a 7-1 vote, Raymore City Council members passed an ordinance Monday night that would allow them to carry concealed weapons during meetings. Mayor Juan Alonzo vetoed the same proposal in January. He had the votes then to fight off an override. But since the April election, Councilman Jeff Cox probably has the votes to push it through.

New Washington, D.C. gun rules shift constitutional debate
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the District of Columbia's 32 year ban on handguns in 2008, a victory for the gun rights lobby that seemed to promise a more permissive era in America's long tussle over gun ownership. Since then, the city has crafted rules that are proving a new, powerful deterrent to residents who want to buy firearms.
