    Did you know that the original Gatling gun was first used by soldiers in the Civil War, but is still in use today?

The repeating rifle brought the firing rate from 1:20 to 1:4.5 (Bryant.edu). This was revolutionary for the war. Also, the rifled musket increased the accuracy of the musket by 16%. Reconnaissance was

    Gun control is a national issue that is highly controversial and needs to be discussed. Some argue that if gun restraints are tightened down or if guns were removed from the public entirely, then the safety of the public would increase substantially. Others oppose that stance and propose rather that in the absence of guns, public safety would drop off, since average Americans wouldn’t have access to guns, while criminals would have access through underground trade and black market sales. The supporters

    One of the greatest changes in terms of warfare came with the evolution of artillery. Over the span of just over one hundred years, forms of artillery went from simple long bows and crossbows to guns and cannons that used gunpowder. In terms of artillery, the most important battle fought during the 100 Years’ war was when on “the thirteenth of July, the French laid siege to Castillon-sur-dordon in Pétrigord, which [at the time] was held by the English.” In this battle on top of the “lords,

    If someone broke into your house and ran toward you aggressively, would you shoot them? If you didn’t have a gun, would you stab them? Guns were invented for the sole purpose of killing other living beings. While a knife can be used for chopping vegetables or whittling wood, and hands that could be used for strangulation have a million other purposes, guns have only one use. Guns can be used by almost anyone, they have become simple to load and operate, and they require little physical effort

    hoping to see the bus, but of course, it’s not there. I start to head out and down the street in the fog I see a bunch of people running out of a building, and hear screaming and gunshots ring out into the open streets. People falling to the ground and stained the snow with their bright red blood. I start to jog down the street, pull my rifle over and take it off of safety. And keep heading down the street. Thugs empty the building yelling slurs and other hate filled words at the people running

    Anyone who values the lives of other humans so little that he or she is willing and make the decision to kill, is the true scum of the Earth. They deserve no fame and no recognition for what they did. Now putting their faces on the news does have it benefits too, letting everyone know that there will be punishment, and his or her face can be a target at the gun range. So both sides have some good points, but I believe Sheriff John Hanlin is right when he didn’t put the name and face up of the Oregon

    The Importance of Guns Molly Ivins expresses her views on guns in her essay, “Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns”, in which she feels guns are only needed for Military and Law Enforcement; the way she explains her opinions give little credibility due to slippery slope, non sequitur, hasty generalization, and ad hominem.
