During the week, I save the longer form reads I come across for the weekend, when you have more time to pour yourself a cup of tea, and really give these works some focus.
This week is another strange and interesting set:

• How The Glock Became America’s Weapon Of Choice (NPR) see also NRA money helped reshape gun law (The Washington Post)
• How I advise advisors to run an advisory business from my pulpit (RiaBiz)
