The mass shootings occurring more-often lately have fueled the altercation pertaining to one subject, gun control. Gun control may have many different meanings, or descriptions varying from person to person. One may think that gun control is banning guns all together, banning a certain category of weapons, or banning certain items like high capacity magazines, and flash

Could Banning Assault Weapons Decrease Crime? According to the Congressional Digest, in an article called Gun Violence Prevention, it states, “Firearms fatalities increased by 3.8 percent in 2005 to 30,694, by 0.7 percent in 2006 to 30,897, and by 1.1 percent in 2007 to 31,224” (Gun Violence Prevention 4). In today’s world, it is becoming a commonplace for us to flip on the news and hear about some tragic murder, mass shooting, etc. It has become extremely evident that we are sweeping these tragedies

NAME HERE PED 172-01 Hitler’s Non-traditional Weapons Weapons are usually defined as something that is used to cause harm to either property or animals which of course humans are part of. People usually think weapons such as swords, spears, guns, etc. are the only devices or such to be defined as weapons. However, there are devices or concepts that at first glance are not weapons such as stirrups on horses that allows archers to stand up on horseback to fire at enemies. Most

Cartridge casings can be found a various types of crime scenes. These cartridge casings are then examined to answer questions such as, what was the caliber of the firearm (i.e. 9mm, .308 Winchester), composition of the ammunition (i.e. brass, steel), shape (i.e. rimless, rimmed), the position of the shooter, etc. Individual characteristics on cartridge casings that are useful in forensic investigations include firing pin impressions, breech face marks, ejector marks, and extractor marks. The various

have a computer system that would tell which guns needed to be pulled. You would have to look at the serial number on the gun, find the gun’s card in a cabinet and look up the date for when the gun would need to be pulled. This system is very inefficient, so Don decided to create such a system that would say when a specific gun would need to be pulled. Not only did Don do this for the weapons, but he did the same for drivers licenses, and many more small tasks for military. This was his kick

The main issue this work addresses is the probability of successfully shooting an enemy in XCOM, an alien-invasion turn based strategy game. Neil Brown, a computing education researcher, desires to analyze the chance of a player from hitting an alien target using computational mathematics. Two different methods of shooting (normal vs. rapid fire) are compared to provide the players with an idea on how to effectively and successfully shooting the enemies in different context (one shot vs. multiple

Most of the crimes that are committed in our society involve a handgun. Gunshot wounds can be very challenging on determining whether or not it was a suicide attempt or homicide. There are some indicators that assist investigators reach a conclusion on gunshot wounds. One of the indicators is the location of the gunshot wound such as the entry and exit points. For example, as the bullet passes through the skin inward and can often travel through the body on a straight path. Furthermore, the damage

Projectile Motion Lab Report Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to find out whether an object, in our case a basketball, accelerated in both the horizontal and vertical directions, or just one direction. The main question that we based this experiment on was, "Does an object accelerate in the x position as well as the y position, or just in one axis?". We hypothesized was that there would be acceleration in both axes because of the motion of the free falling object. Method: The procedure

Ballistics (B5) Literature Review Evaluation of the possibility of differentiation between various types of ammunition by means of GSR examination with SEM-EDX method (2001) This paper assesses the use of a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDX) to analyse gunshot residue (GSR) and determine the type of ammunition used, as well as the gun it was fired from. GSR is the remains of the primer and propellant from the ammunition after a gun is fired. GSR
