No other weapon in my opinion has changed the face of the battlefield as has the machine gun. It's design and and association with mass death makes it a great and powerful weapon. Two men, Hiram Maxim and Richard Gatling, made huge impacts in the development of the Machine Gun and bringing it to use in the military. These two brilliant men designed capable and reliable versions of Machine guns in a time when everyone was making unreliable models. However before we get into discussion about the inventions

I love the utility of a sabre, I 'm fair with archery, I thought, and as for guns, let 's just say I 'm in favor of them. Guns are equalizers. Gun Control means having one in your hand when needed and hitting the intended target if necessary. I 'm not a weak person, but I 'm compact.

He stumbles back giving her time to jump out of the bed and run through the hall. He pulls out a gun and aims it at her. The trigger is pulled and a bullet hits her in the leg, making her fall to the ground. He walks around her to the beginning of the stairs, eyeing her as he does. She looks up at him. His face still expressionless. She grabs the railing

year ago, on Sunday the 28th of April 1966, the largest gun massacre by a civilian - anywhere in the world - occurred on home soil, at the popular historic tourist site- Port Arthur, Tasmania. During the peak time lunch hour at Broad Arrow Café a lone figure entered, ordered and ate a big lunch, reached into his bag and withdrew two military-style semi-automatic rifles and started indiscriminately shooting, at staff and tourists. The range of guns used by the Port Arthur murderer- Martin Bryant, were
shooting are happening. Also, there is more violence in the united states too. The united states of America need gun control because of school shootings, gang violence, and suicides. If we could pass some stricter laws for gun control, we could prevent some many shootings in our world today. Men, women, and lots of innocent kids would still be alive if we had stricter
Background The world's first weapon in history was the fire lance, known as the gun machine. In 1364, Richard Gatling invented “the first successful rapid-fire firearm,” which is called the Gatling Gun. Gatling brought about the idea of self-defense through the use of guns. Gun ownership plays a huge role in history and the modern world. This mechanism became an idea of evolution rather than revolution, which means that it was negatively adaptable thus resulting a negative impact. In 1791, the
Throughout the years, there have been many different forms of weapons used by the military. One type of weaponry that has failed to be used in modern-day military is a catapult. Catapults are very useful, if there is not a desired accuracy only a general direction in mind. One catapult that has recently been built and destroyed is called, “The Whatever,” created in Mr. Kunz’s sixth period Physics class by Brandon Jones and Jenna Lund. The name of the catapult fits the varying accuracy of the catapult
Three Classified Types of Gun Shooters America is no stranger to gun violence and the numbers of crimes committed with guns seem to be growing every year. School shooting are a crime that has been around for a long time but has grown in the number of offences especially in recent years. So the question most people ask is how do you reduce the number of crimes committed with fire arms? One of the first things authorities can do is to identify and categorize what type of people are committing these
We all know that it is legal to have a gun in America. Have you ever notice America owns nearly half of the world’s guns? However the Americans only make up of 4.4 percent of the global population. In a hundred Americans there is an average of 88 who owns guns. The high rate of gun ownership, frequently mass shootings and a leak on government control engenders the Americans to be so susceptible to gun violence. In October 2017, the worth mass shooting ever in American history took place at a country
the country, there are people dying due to firearm deaths. There are 13,000 gun homicides every year in the U.S according to EveryTownResearch. Gun control laws should be set in place to prevent these type of things from happening. There are many good and cogent reasons why this should happen.

We the people need to step up to protect our loved ones. Gun control would not deter crime as nearly 8 in 10 gun crimes are committed with illegally-possessed guns. In a poll of felons
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I have heard and seen this slogan almost everywhere I go, but what does it exactly mean? Guns are objects, and are just another TOOL used for self-defense. Guns cannot kill or hurt people, but rather it’s the people who handle and carry the guns that harm and kill others. Our government needs to take a closer look at our gun laws, and come up with a law that will help keep America safe. Recently our law makers of Texas have presented a bill that will
States. For example, gun violence, sexual violence, and racial violence are major problems. This shows that the United States does not believe in following the laws. The policeman cannot enforce laws, because people will not follow rules. Gun violence is getting worse all the time; watching the news is horrible, because several times a day people are getting shot. This violence began ever since people started carrying guns. Guns are too easy to get ahold of. Most people have a gun that is always carried
officers, so the question is: should gun control be tightened? The start of the gun control has begun and people are getting scared because of people who carry the guns and use them for protection. In many places there were officers that needed help and no other officers were able to help at that time and there was some random citizens with handguns that they used to protect them and they did that job just as good as an officer who has train for 6 years with that one gun to where they were hitting bull’s-eyes
Keep the Guns Away But Keep Our Children Safe How would you feel if your child was to come home and tell you that, that one angry grumpy teacher is now allow to carry a gun to school? That seems pretty mediocre, I know if I was to have a child I wouldn’t be ok with it. Some politicians are trying to decide on rather or not should teachers be allowed to carry guns to school for protection. Due to the recent gun incidents in the schools all across the world, politicians are really considering rather
Early in the war at the Battle of Palo Alto, Brevet Brigadier General Zachary Taylor, taking the advice of the young junior officers on his staff, emplaced his two siege cannons in the center of his line and fired on the Mexican advance. His remaining guns were sent to the Mexican flanks utilizing the quickness of the flying artillery. During this engagement, the Mexicans were effectively pushed back taking nearly 800 casualties, 320 of them mortally wounded, due in large part to the effective artillery
