Assault Weapons Ban After reading Jimmy Carter's essay on assault weapons, I have come to an agreement with his position that the government should reinstate a ban on assault weapons. Americans do not need to be in possession of semiautomatic assault weapons like AK-47, AR-15,and Uzis. There is rarely a necessity for the average American to even use or own them. Part of the reason why we don’t need assault weapons is largely due to our proficient law enforcement. In the U.S, people can...

Ancient siege weapons Onager (siege weapon) 1. A round stone (often clay balls with combustible substance in them, which explode on impact and burst into flames) is put in the pouch and the arm is winched down. 2.

A long arm is then inserted between the bundles of rope; at its end it has a pin and a...

The Importance of Lubricating a Weapon A soldier’s lifeline in a combat environment is his weapon. Without his weapon he is unable to complete a mission or protect his battle buddies and/or others in the way of harm. He is, in a way, unfit for battle if he does not have a properly functional weapon. With this in mind, it is a part of a soldier’s duty in the military to properly maintain his weapon, keeping it clean, well lubricated, and ready for battle at any given moment. He should always...

Authorities should allow anyone to carrying weapons after they pass a background check and complete training classes.

I agree with him because accepting this law people can defend themselves from criminals before police arrive. Also legalizing hidden...

“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.” That statement, the 2nd ammendment of the Constitution, has sparked a fierce debate over its meaning.

It’s nearly impossible to not hear about someone being murdered by a gun on the news these days, even though the vast majority of gun owners say they have one for self protection.

Gun Control I say all guns are good guns. There are no bad guns. I say the whole nation should be an armed nation. Period.@ This rather bold statement was made by Joseph Foss. Former Governor Joseph Foss, a former fighter pilot for the US Air Force, is the current President of the NRA, or National Rifle Association (Lacayo 16). The NRA is a special interest group known by many. Its members are stereotyped to be a group of >truck-driving=, pompous, huntsmen. Indeed this is...

Anything could be used as a weapon to hurt or kill someone. Criminals could...

Did you know that guns are very dangerous if they are easily accessible to public? I usually read the newspaper online and watched the news on my computer when I went to study in America.

First, I would like to introduce this person. Do you guys know who he is? He was a graduate from University...

Why the First World War lasted so long The First World War (1914-1918) was a war that lasted substantially longer than anyone anticipated. This was largely due to the technological developments created by the industrial revolution coupled with the sheer scale of the conflict and the huge amount of resources that the two armed sides were willing to commit. The war lasted as long as it did because of the new style of warfare employed and the fact that military leaders of the time were slow to...

Since the right to own weapons became legalized, students have been bringing guns to school and the drama...

Should the Government Limit Our Right to Bear Arms? POSITIVE The government should not limit our right to bear arms for several reasons; the main reason being that it would go against the 2nd amendment of the Constitution. The government, I believe, needs to focus on WHO gets to bear arms rather than take the right to bear arms from all people. Congress needs to set harder laws and punishments for those who misuse guns and other weapons. They also need to set higher requirements for gun...

After any mass shooting, I would welcome a debate on guns in American society, so long as it was a debate and not a formal conversation leading to the inevitable outcome of instituting some new law to make guns harder to obtain. But that does not mean that I feel a need to justify owning guns beyond the fact that I use them responsibly, am old enough to purchase them legally, and enjoy having them. No doubt, if I were talking about whiskey, the vast majority of law-abiding drinkers would say the...

 Guns are instrument that can be either helpful or useless with problems. Now guns are available almost for everyone. People shouldn’t be allowed to purchase gun especially automatic guns.
