In this article presented by americas1stfreedom.org, Mark Chesnut explains ten good reasons why someone should buy an AR-15 semi automatic rifle. He writes how an AR-15 is often thought of as a weapon of war and he states that rifles in general are seldom used in crime. Mark goes on to explain the many uses of an AR-15. He explains that this gun is good for defence, fun, teaching, hunting, and competitions. Guns are often a great pastime for most people as they use it for hunting, tinkering, and at gun shows where they can show their personal modifications to the gun and compare it with other law abiding gun owners’ guns. He says how the AR-15 is a good gun for everyone because of its accuracy and how little the recoil is.

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…

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…

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…

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.
