I've learned as a gun owner that even if the NRA defeats legal controls, we can treat America's gun violence epidemic.

Two survivors and an FBI agent recount the 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Tx.

Van Curaza knows from firsthand experience how the ocean can restore a life. After surfing helped him conquer years of drug and alcohol addiction, he made it his mission to help others harness the healing power of the Pacific.

'As in the drummer of The Who?" I ask. Keith Moon, a laid-back Montanan with a large-brimmed Stetson, chuckles. Presumably he does this whenever somebody comments on his name, though he must have heard it a thousand times. He tells me to follow him, then hops in a black pick-up and motors down the steep, one-way path to the main road.

When a dead body is discovered, investigators can work out the likely time of death in a number of ways. The first clue is the bugs. It can take no time at all for blowflies and house flies to home in, searching for open wounds and orifices in which to lay their eggs.

The picture shown to the jurors was enough to haunt them for a lifetime: a young girl with jet-black hair and pale skin, standing amid the tumbledown ruins of a wooden barn in rural Illinois. She wears a dress that reaches to just above her knees and patent leather heels.

August 11 2008. In the Beijing Shooting Range Hall eight men, standing at wooden podiums a few feet apart, have reached the business end of proceedings in the Olympic 10m air rifle competition.

You have 2.5 billion heart beats in a lifetime. Imagine if you could choose how to spend them. Imagine being able to control an artificial limb or even an external machine – a car, perhaps – with your brainImagine a battlefield where a solider, mortally wounded, is given an injection to put him into suspended animation, flown to a hospital thousands of miles away, operated on, and then brought back to life.

Driving up to the pretty café, built of log and stone and nestled among cedars at the side of a single-track road, you would think you'd stepped into another era.

An oil rush in the Canadian wilderness is turning an icy, isolated outpost into a boom town, where manual workers earn six figures and the partying is as hard, and dirty, as the work. So, what's the catch? GQ heads to Fort McMurray to join the black gold rush and find out.

Trafalgar Square, just a stone's throw from the very center of the British capital, is an expanse of paved sidewalk, pretty fountains and, most notably, five statues. The central statue is of Admiral Lord Nelson, after whose infamous 1805 sea battle the square is named; King George IV stands in one corner; two historical army generals in the others.

America's eyes are trained on a quiet coastal corner of the country where a murderer has claimed ten victims and remains at large, despite the efforts of investigators. Now, as Alex Hannaford reports for GQ, a growing band of self-styled 'superheroes', including 'Samaritan Prime' (above), is joining in the hunt and attracting as much attention as its quarry.

When Paul Chodas and Steve Chesley arrived at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a valley beneath the slopes of California’s San Gabriel Mountains, on October 6 2008, they assumed it would be a normal day. But it would prove to be anything but.

My location is a closely guarded secret: a ranch somewhere in the Santa Cruz Mountains, several miles outside the small California town of Woodside. And for good reason, for its resident is something of a celebrity. She lives here with a male friend and both value their privacy, so much so that I’m asked to keep absolutely silent as I walk the single-track dirt path that winds through a grove of towering redwoods up to a little Portakabin.
