Gun, Hunting, And Personal Defense

For years now there has been a subject that Americans are extremely controversial about, the right to bear arms. There is many reasons to be for and against this god given right, so here is the question that is hanging out there, is the right to bear arms really a necessary part of the constitution? Well, I hope to help you understand how you feel about the topic. There is a few reasons why people should have a firearm first it is a huge part of the 2nd amendment, second, guns offer protection to all those who know how to use them, they also make it easier to get food, and of course you must learn how to properly handle them before you should even touch them, they help the economy out greatly and they save more than they hurt. Also, another

A hot-button topic in the world of U.S. politics today is the controversy over whether or not new gun laws need to be instituted to keep Americans safe. We are a nation that believes in the Second Amendment, and one that sticks to traditional values. With this, comes a great deal of incongruity, which makes for a very sensitive debate on gun control. On one side of the spectrum, we have those who take a more liberal stance; while they do in fact support the second amendment, there is no doubt that the U.S. has evolved significantly since the Constitution was written, hence creating a need for strict gun laws. On the other side of the spectrum, conservatives argue that as soon as executive action inhibits the fundamental principles in which

America is known as the land of opportunity, freedom, fast food, and raging numbers of gun violence. According to Mass Shooting Tracker there has been about 367 shootings so far since the year started (Mass Shooting Tracker). This is outrageous considering that in other countries, gun shooting numbers don 't even reach a two-digit number. Far too many people have been victims of these unregulated weapons, claiming lives and ripping families apart. There is no safe place from these assault weapons, no movie theater, night club, church, or school. American’s must deal with the fact that any unsuited person is legally allowed to purchase a weapon with the weak regulations we currently have. Assault weapons have been damaging for this country and it 's time to change the laws. Gun regulations and laws need to be stricter to make it harder for individuals to purchase guns to prevent any future tragedies from happening.

When America first became a country branching away from Great Britain, firearms played a huge role. After the war, firearms were still an every day thing for civilians, using them for hunting and or self-defense. With the second amendment has come with a controversial topic when it comes to regulating guns in our country. This topic affects the United States nationally, as well as local state to state as they try to regulate how guns should be handled. From the core amendment values such as the second amendment have changed how the amendment is viewed overtime, so has the evolution of guns and how they are viewed in today’s society.

Alaina Gonville was coming home from work late at night. She stopped at a store for a bottle of papaya juice. A scrawny guy walked up, pulled out a pistol and demanded her money. His accomplices were watching from a car behind him. As it happened, Gonville was carrying her Glock .45 openly on her belt. They opened fire on her and she pulled out her gun and returned fire. She was shot with an AK-47 and it basically blew her arm off. She does not know if her carrying a gun saved her life but she was happy she had it.

For this week of gunstock checkering lab we were assigned an article titled "Recutting and restoring worn or damaged stock checkering". The article is authored by Chick Blood, and originally appeared in the March 2008 issue of American Gunsmith magazine.

Have you ever wondered if anyone around you is carrying a concealed handgun and might misuse it? A large population of the United States does in fact carry concealed handguns. That means in 10 states more than 10% of the adult population have concealed handgun permits. Some reasons that so many adults have permits is because, concealed carry can save lives, and concealed carry can make people feel safer. Some people believe that concealed carry can be a harmful thing that adults in general are allowed to carry a concealed handgun. On the other hand, adults should be able to carry concealed handguns, because most people with firearms most likely won’t misuse them.

The use of handguns to perpetrate acts of violence, especially homicides, had increased dramatically by 1988. Many suburban and metropolitan areas across the country faced these changes, as more handguns were made available to the public despite gun laws. In a 1990 edition of Parade Magazine, United States Chief Justice Warren Burger, made his stance on the controversial issue known. Though the gun control debate is still largely communicated, Burger’s talking points allowed for a fresh perspective from both a legal and Constitutional aspect. In his article, Burger establishes historical relevance to the current gun control debate by use of his standing, emotional control, and exceptional reasoning

The right to bear arms is a fundamental right of the United States, one granted by the second amendment, the only thing more important is freedom of speech. Easily our protected right to guns is what sets our nation apart. Why would a government want to control the people it governs? Why do the actions of some people create an issue over a tool and not the people who are using that tool unjustly? The last time I checked a gun can’t fire or even load itself. Guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Their choice of method is the only variable. Instead of focusing on the easy to answer method or how we should investigate the much more elusive why. If we can begin to answer that question perhaps society can get them the help they need before

Should people have the right to carry a concealed gun? Carrying a concealed handgun may benefit people a lot of ways but there are some bad things that come with it. Although I do believe that people should be allowed to carry a concealed gun as long as they have a permit and are legally an adult. Concealed guns may increase crime since criminals may carry firearms to attack a victim they may think has a weapon of their own. But on the other hand permitting concealed guns may also protect people who can’t rely on the help of law enforcement for protection.

Shall issue states are states that citizens may apply and be considered by the state for a gun permit which is also known as concealed carry. John R. Lot, is an economist and has received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA. He claimed "shall-issue" concealed carry laws reduced murders by 8.5%, rapes by 5%, aggravated assaults by 7%, and robbery by 3%, according to a 2000 analysis of FBI crime data”(John R. Lot). This refers to how concealed carry reduces crime and information was reported by the FBI compared to the other states that don’t allow concealed carry. All states need to allow every citizen that qualifies to carry a concealed weapon. Police are there to protect, but are not fast enough. Good citizens with guns can save lives. You need

As is with both the previous two types when collecting evidence for a shoulder firearm or a long gun, the forensic technician is to assign an evidence number, photograph orientation and close-up views of the long gun in place, and take measurements of the firearm’s location prior to collection. The forensic technician should hold the firearm by the grip or stock and avoid contact with any smooth surfaces that may yield latent fingerprints. As with any firearm, this should also be pointed downward and away from people. It is very important that nothing is put inside the barrel of the gun as it can scratch the barrel or contaminate trace evidence or DNA that may be inside the barrel. (Tina Young,

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants, they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
