2023 was a year that was all about the new guns in our news cycle. Typically, when we look back at a year, and what the top news stories were, there will at least be one or two big political stories that will break through. But not 2023. It makes sense when you look at what was released. There were lots of great new guns released in 2023, when you take out reviews (stay tuned for those)  these were the news stories that turned the most heads.
