It was May 22, 1864. I crouched behind the large tree that overlooked the battlefield down the hill, and my mind raced in disbelief. Cool and soft breezes brushed over me. My eyes studied my surroundings, looking for men in blue. With each breeze, my mind heard musket fire and the marching of my enemies. Kneeling, I tore strips of cloth from my pants and wound them around my bare feet. I made each movement slowly and deliberately, trying to regain my composure. After a few moments, I stood and…

week’s article reflection, I learned more about the AR-10. Springfield Armory selected two rifles in 1956 to be tested for military use. According to Bartocci (2014), almost immediately failures erupted. These would include broken extractors, failures to feed, bolt over base, failures of the muzzle compensator, bent gas tubes and pierced primers.

Making these guns legal will reduce crime rate in America as it has done in many other countries.

“Jump,” they said, I Jumped off the paddle boat as the cold water rose to my knees. My heart beat fast inside my chest “Duck,” they said, small spinning bullets flew around me as I rolled onto the shore. “Fire,” they said, the noise of piercing gunshots rung in my ears. Soldiers fell like flies. Their blood stained the sand. Their blood, as red as the poppies in the fields ahead. I looked up only to see a huge sandy cliff, lined with Turkish soldiers and guns pointed right at us. I was only 19.…

Since 2000, thousands of United States citizens have died as a direct result of mass shootings and acts of terrorism. However, despite the striking similarities in the motives and damage engendered by these crimes, there are significant discrepancies between the classifications and punishments for the crimes. Depending on the crime, state or federal…

According to BBC News, “About 40% of americans own a gun or live in a household with one.” Guns play a big role in the american society. There have been many deaths due to guns but prohibiting them wouldn't have prevented these deaths. There are many reasons to why prohibiting these weapons will do more harm than good.
