Newly-manufactured MMC Armory MA-15 rifles are displayed for a photograph at MMC Armory, a division of Mennie Machine Co., in Mark, Illinois, U.S., on Wednesday, June 26, 2013. After the last recession slashed Mennie Machine Co.'s profits and workforce at the tool and die-maker's parts manufacturing business, theyíre turning to what they believe is the great economic equalizer: producing semiautomatic rifles and handguns to satisfy growing American demand.
