Ammunition

so are drugs, and a majority of addictive drugs are banned unless, they are smuggled in or illegally sold. Drug overdosing, or death from drugs, is almost always self inflicted, but a gun can kill as many as the holder wants, as long as they have ammunition. With this information, I strongly believe there should be more restrictions on who can own a firearm.

events, it would be prudent to begin stock-piling survival and barter items. Of course, you must put family first and gather supplies necessary for survival – water, food with a long shelf life, hygiene and first-aid items, water filters, weapons, ammunition and so on. Salt intake is essential for our bodies to function. In long-term disaster situations, salt will preserve meat, you can gargle it for a sore throat, use it to brush your teeth, as a pain reliever for insect bites and more. With…

be one of the most ferocious and merciless battles ever fought on US soil. Many witnesses swore that they’d never seen a more desperate fight, with so much suffering, than at Sayler’s Creek. The battle was so fierce that, once the men ran out of ammunition, the fight turned hand to hand.Since the Confederates were so low on supplies, many wore Union soldiers’ overcoats, even being warned against it. Which lead to them being mistaken as Union soldiers during the Battle at Sayler’s Creek, and…

Chamberlain was an idealist, a firm believer in men, a handsome, charming, and well educated person. He became the epitome of a civilian-turned-soldier, one who has left their comfortable life for his country and turned out to be a remarkable leader. He left teaching and entered the war to fight for the freedom of men, to stop a new aristocracy from growing in the South and to preserve the Union as proven in his speech to the “deserters” early in the book. “It’s the idea that we all have…

racism exists; and not all aspects of minority and majority culture are good or bad” (Daniels, 2015). In the movie, when the Persian shop owner, Farhad, and his daughter enter the gun store everything goes fine, the clerk even ask “what kind of ammunition did they want” (Haggis, 2005)? Then nearly half way through the conversation with the clerk, Farhad and his daughter begin speaking in Farsi and the clerk make a racial epitaph, about September 11th ,which infuriates, Farhad. The Persian shop…

Amrita Khadgi Prof. Mac Govt-2306-21001 10/8/2017 Gun Control In the US, we all have certain rights where the Second Amendment is also one of them which states “A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” Gun control has been highly controversial issues from the past many decades. From the assassination of the president to the mass shooting, guns have been the issue. I still believe that more…

The Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica was a drastically devastating occurrence for the settlers who built the early civilizations of Mexico. Following Christopher Columbus’ successful takeover and extraction of wealth from the Caribbean, leaving in his wake the decimation the native populations, culture and societal structure, a new Conquistador, Hernán Cortés was ready to begin his quest for land, riches and power, this time in Mexica. At the time, the Azteca were the most powerful civilization…

Japanese in the Pacific Theater and the Germans in Europe, however the U.S. Naval weaponry was used primarily against the Japanese. The U.S. servicemen were issued a standard M-1 Garand Rifle which was a bolt-action, semi-automatic, 7.62x63-mm ammunition, 8-round magazine fed, self-loading, air-cooled, gas-operated, and shoulder fired rifle. This rifle was a reliable weapon which could be adapted with a bayonet for close combat (Westwood 222-223). It provided soldiers with accurate sight…

Self - protection and gun control are still a big topic of discussion. There are those who are against self-protection and want strict laws set for gun usage and there are others who don’t want to have strict restrictions for guns and who are for self-protection or their rights to bear arms. Without researching the topic, I would believe it could be beneficial to carry a concealed weapon around in case someone was in trouble. I could also see it being a terrible mistake if it got into the wrong…
