This week's article was on “Basics Firearm: Basic Parts of a Gun”. The article was very basic in its context, which covers the basic parts of rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers. The article gives a very basic definition of the parts and does give a visual with parts labeled on the pictures. The common parts between all of the firearms are trigger, trigger guard, front sight, safety, muzzle and barrel. From there each of the firearms have different components, which make up the firearm. For example the rifle has a receiver, bolt, rear and front sight, stock, trigger, safety, trigger guard, barrel, and in some cases a magazine. A shotgun is different from a rifle in a few aspects one is the barrel is smooth bored and may consist of an
A firearm is one of the weapons that may be used when hunting. A firearm utilizes pressure produced from the burning of gunpowder to create gas. The pressure produced from the burning powder propels a projectile out of the barrel at a target. In rifles and most handguns the barrel has rifling on the inside of the barrel to make the projectile spin to travel better in the air. Rifling are groove that spin as they go through the inside of the barrel. Shotgun barrels are smooth and can fire “slugs”, a single projectile, or “shot”,
What is the importance of the gun? The gun is one of the most important tools in the defense of our nation. Guns are responsible for a lot of death and injuries, but these things were going on before the existence of the gun. Guns aren't the reason for the death and injuries, they are just a means to it. They are tools and an engineering marvel of our age. The gun has evolved from a simple weapon that caused limited destruction to the modern gun that is so fast and powerful it is capable of mass destruction. Through the evolution of the gun, it has become a political tool.
A shotgun is a firearm which fires shells filled with small pellets called shot, or a solid projectile called a slug. Shot shells allow a shotgun to impact damage over a wide area than that of a standard bullet. Remember that a rifle needs more bullets to kill a wide amount of zombies compared to a shotgun that needs less bullets to kill more
The history of firearms has changed dramatically since the late 1700’s. A rifle is no longer defined as a single shot, muzzle loading musket. Should
To understand the gun topic you first have to learn the terms a pistol, or hand gun is a gun that the name states you use the gun held in your hand normally used for close range. A revolver is a hand gun that instead of the ammo being fed into the chamber, it is in a round shaped tube with different chambers that rotate in a clockwise motion around the barrel of the gun. A shotgun can either be semi-automatic, where you have to pull the trigger every time you shoot. Pump action, where you have to pull the trigger pump the action on the gun to chamber another shell. The last is not legal to most citizens, but a fully automatic weapon once you pull the trigger as long as you hold down the trigger it will fire till your run out of ammo. Shot guns shoot shot or gauges that are little bb’s or ball bearings. Rifles come in all different makes, models, and sizes. From lever action where you have to cock a lever to chamber a round, to bolt actin where you have to pull back a bolt to chamber the next round, to semi auto and full auto. These guns are for long range and are meant to give the ability to reach out and touch an object. Machine or submachine guns can be used in semi-automatic, three round burst, or full auto. No matter how big or small all guns are either
1. “Before leaving a corpse, Elijah tells me he has taken to opening each man’s eyes and staring into them, then closing them with his calloused right hand, letting a strange spark of warmth accumulate deep in his gut each time that he does it, noting the colour of the iris knowing that he, Elijah, is the last thing that each will see before being placed into the cold mud and water here. Before they go to their place.” (pg 200)
Guns and Crime, 2012 Formed in 2006, Mayors Against Illegal Guns is a coalition of over 550 mayors who support reforms to fight illegal gun trafficking and gun violence in the United States, while still respecting the Second Amendment. The background check system designed by Congress in 1993 to prohibit dangerous people from purchasing guns is not working effectively. But with the enforcement of critical new regulations, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) could be an effective tool in preventing gun violence. One such regulation would require the names of all people known to be dangerous or criminal be registered in the NICS database, and those

First of all I am going to describe what exactly a shotgun is. A shotgun is designed to be fired from the shoulder. The shotgun fires a shell that holds numerous spherical pellets, also called shot when buying them from stores they are classified by the amount of
The second amendment gives the citizens in our country a right to bear arms for purposes of protecting our homes and families, unintended circumstances come to reality without proper gun regulations. SMG’s, Sub Auto Rifles, … ( Other automated Guns and Rifles ) are completely unnecessary for civilian usage… I can understand that some people have automated guns for the protection of their homes, but in contrast when a child of young age goes to school with his dad's automated handgun and accidentally kills a few students or teachers, the issue becomes more serious. Especially with statistics showing that 42% of all households own a firearm as of 2005 with the percentage increasing.
In this short paper I will cover my thoughts on the article provided for this week’s article summary, “All About AR-15 Sights, American Gunsmith August 2015, by Joe Carlos.” While I don’t exactly jump with joy when we get an article about something I’m familiar with already, I try to get a bit of useful information out of it anyway…. Here are my thoughts on this week’s article. I can’t help but love how a lot of these articles start with rants by the author about a hodgepodge of things… Mr. Carlos briefly spoke about how absolutely useless the Clinton Era “Assault Weapons” Ban was… I’d have to say that I completely agree with him and the undertones he shared in regards to some of the purely cosmetic components on weapons that made them “evil black guns” post ban.
Throughout the article, Libresco describes how America has become divided from not only feeling strongly about their viewpoint on gun control, but also their powerful outlook on why the opposing side is incorrect. She explains how it can be easily obtainable for the average person to purchase a gun, “guns are modular, and any hobbyist can easily add these features home, just as if they were snapping together legos” (Libresco Paragraph 4). By displaying this simile throughout her article, it emphasizes the many people
The Seattle Times editorial board’s article “It’s time to ban assault-style weapons, high-capacity magazines” expresses a strong support of the Californian laws that incorporate a magazine ban. The article calls for not only these bans, but also background checks for ammunition sales. It also discusses the past action of Initiative 594 which mandated stricter background checks on gun buyers. While this and many other actions work, there must be a renewed effort to ban “tactical” assault-styled weapons and also the possession of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The article discusses how Americans are free to own guns and that this freedom is not unlimited. There is also a mention of the San Bernardino shooting, in which the
Firearms are classified into three broad types handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Rifles and shotguns are both considered “long guns.” A semi-automatic weapon fires one bullet each time the user pules the trigger, it will also eject the empty shell after
