The rifle has been used for centuries because of its effectiveness, shooting bullets straight and accurate because of the aerodynamics and physics of the spiral motion with the bullet. What makes the rifle a rifle and much better than a musket, is the fact that it has rifling throughout the barrel of the gun.

Gun control has been a heated conversation in America the last few years. Many of the recent mass shootings and tragedies has been the cause of such debate. Some people argue for tighter, stricter gun control laws while others will argue for less strict laws.

There are other causes of death with higher death tolls than gun violence that is being ignored. The

I have wanted to perform a custom paint job on one of my rifles for a long time. I first learned of people painting guns while at a new gun shop. The owner of the shop had a binder full of pictures of guns that he had painted. Upon seeing this I wanted to learn how to create amazing styles of camouflage and other designs for my rifles as well. I went onto the internet and watched videos on how to properly paint a firearm. I learned that to create the best effects was to paint the gun using a gravity

In those days, firearms were owned by anyone who either had the money or knew a way to get it and most of the times they fell into the wrong hands. Q: Hello Mr. Acosta, How are

protected by the second amendment. When people think of assault rifles, what comes to mind? Soldiers? War? Well many people want to ban them so regular citizens can not own them.
