Italy Loosens Gun Laws as Matteo Salvini Polishes His Tough Guy Image

FILE -- Bullet holes in a door of H7, a cafe, after a right-wing extremist named Luca Traini went on a shooting rampage in February with a Glock handgun, targeting migrants in Macerata, Italy, April 23, 2018. The Italian government loosened gun laws in September 2018, making it possible to own more guns like the AR-15, an assault rifle that has been used in numerous mass shootings in the United States.
