well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to responsibly keep and bear Arms necessary for their protection shall not be infringed.” Guns are usually bought by people who use it for a sense of protection in order to look out for themselves in case situations like for an example, home invasion or crime. Events like this happen in the comfort of their own home or out in the streets in which a gun could be used to protect themselves from harm. Having a gun available to use allows the person a chance to fight in the event situations like the ones said before were to occur. Guns like handguns should be the only types of guns that should be allowed to be bought by people. Handguns such as pistols and revolvers are considered useful to have indoors but also can be hidden anywhere in the home, available for use at any time. If having to use in a hand to hand struggle, there is no issue with having to have one in possession and can be used whether it be your left or right hand. Guns should be given to people who can responsibly take care of them and do not abuse them for other reasons other than for protection. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), is a system made by the US and is controlled by the FBI, in which there is a process of examining a name of a person who is interested in buying a gun where they undergo federal and state criminal records to see if they are ineligible and are possibly unable…

The water surrounding the island was not only freezing, but it was shark infested and the waves crashing against the solid rock would have made it almost impossible to swim. The naval defense had created walls ten feet thick to withstand cannon fodder. Therefore, making it extremely difficult to break through the walls without someone seeing or hearing, not to mention the necessary…

Before the 1994 assault weapons ban there was no such thing as an assault shotgun or assault pistol. The law essentially did the same thing pistols as it did for rifles. Pre ban there were machine pistols, but they were already highly restricted. The ban just changed the name to assault pistols and broadened the definition to include semi-automatics with two or more of the following features that also accept detachable magazines: threaded barrel, barrel shroud, an unloaded weight of 50oz, a…

do with being humane, not randomly shooting, and accidents. If the hunter wounds an animal, they can put the animal out of its misery more quickly. Hunters using a semi-automatic won't “spray and pray” - firing blindly without making an effort to aim correctly and hit their target. Manually operated firearms have been in more hunting accidents than semi-automatic firearms. A manually operated firearm is a firearm that needs the user to manually actuate a lever, handle or latch to load the next…

themselves against tyranny? How could they? That is what the government wants. The world does not care who you are, if a good person has something a bad person wants, he will not obtain it legally. An example would the AR-15. Bad guys will obtain these illegally. Many would agree the “AR” is an acronym for Automatic Rifle, however that is incorrect. The actual acronym is ArmaLite Rifle which is the company that made the gun, such as GE (General Electric) who makes household appliances. A…

AR-15 and Attachments The myth, the legend, the weapon. The AR-15 is a style of semi-automatic/automatic rifle that is used in civilian and military applications. The first design was actually named the AR-10 and was submitted to replace the M1 Garand but, lack of time and testing before military trials didn’t allow it to be adopted as the new military rifle. In 1956 the time was right for a new smaller caliber rifle and the AR-15 was designed and built by Armalite. Three years later the…

Another circumstance that I believe abortion is acceptable is if the woman’s life is endangered. On the other hand, abortions should not be legal as another form of birth control that many see it as today. Between my beliefs and exposure to current events, I see abortion as a last case scenario. The topic that I feel the most passionately about is gun control. I believe citizens have the right to own a firearm, provided to us by the Second Amendment. That being said I do believe there should…

Thousands die each year in America due to gun related deaths. I believe that along with outlawing assault and semi automatic weapons, there should be strict regulation on ammo. Some people say that these regulations won't matter because criminals will still illegally get firearms, and people can still kill with limited ammo. This may be true, but with less ammo available it still limits the amount of potential damage a criminal can do. Additionally buy no longer allowing semi automatics it will…
