Shotgun

Therefore, that person is required to call the appropriate agency and run the NICS on the person making the purchase (Facts). Some people would try to misconstrue the Second Amendment and say that some guns are not effective in keeping a “well-regulated militia”. For example, in a court ruling in United States v. Miller (1939), Jake Miller and one other person were caught taking a sawed-off double barrel shotgun over the state line in violation of the National Firearms Act of 1934. Miller argued that the Firearms act was a direct violation of the second amendment. This case was appealed directly to the Supreme Court. After reading over the Constitution, the Court concluded that “[i]n the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a [sawed-off] shotgun . . . has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument”. In a nutshell, that means while they see some use for the shotgun, the Court is saying the sawed-off shotgun is not a weapon that the military would use (Court). Also argued is the use of semi-automatic weapons. Most gun control advocates would argue that there is no need for a semi-automatic weapon in everyday life. In everyday life, there is probably not a need for a gun that fires as fast as the trigger is pulled. People that use them, though, use them for food, fun, and self-protection. On June 29, 2010,…

Someone has just broke into your house and they are armed, are you? Personally I would like to be armed in this situation so I could protect myself. This is one of the reasons that make me feel that guns are good. Guns can be used in many ways but I have chosen three. They are good because we can use them for entertainment, hunting, and protection. These are all very good reasons of why guns are good and why you should own one.

The next shotgun was the double barreled shotgun. This shotgun came around after the invention of the modern gun cartridges and had two barrels. The main reason for this was one barrel would have a smooth bore to fire regular shotgun bullets, but the other barrel had a rifled bore and was used much like today 's modern slug where it shoots like an oversized rifle bullet. The thought for this was that you could have both types of guns in one gun and you could hunt birds and other animals at the…

(McLaughlin para. 55). Also in Ilion, the Eliott magazine pump rifle was perfected for the first time (McLaughlin para. 45). Remington developed one of the earliest machine guns: a rapid-fire naval gun (“Remington Arms Company, Inc.” para. 9). Remington also produced a popular double-barreled shotgun, a gun cane that looked like a walking stick, and a portable gun that could shoot a lifeline of up to 200 yards to the upper floors of burning buildings (“Remington Arms Company, Inc.” para. 9).…

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…

Trapshooting improves lifelong skills Trapshooting can improve skills ranging from mental skills to eyesight. Trapshooting is good for many of lifelong skills due to the concentration involved in the process of shooting a clay. First trapshooting improves your eyesight because while you are actively looking down the rib of the shotgun searching for the target, your eyes are developing concentration which improves the way you see the target (Tomas, profession in Ophthalmology). Furthermore…

The second amendment was adopted in 1791. Around 1791, guns were used for the purpose to gather food and self-defense.

Also, guns in 1791 would not have or be the following: automatic, smokeless powder, load bullet from magazines, interchangeable parts, and large magazines. It is a large section of different types of firearms that are made. There are seven different type of firearms, along different…

He instructed each one of us how to hold the shotgun with the muzzle down on the ground. One by one the instructor would put a shell into the chamber. My ears were satisfied with the click of the gun confirming it is in. Only one shotgun was loaded at one time for student safety. Once loaded, he instructed us to get into the firing position one by one. I was then receiving goosebumps as the cold metal stock touched my cheek. As my earplugs and glasses were already in place, he told me when I…

“Which gun has been used in the mass shootings?” The answer is obviously the rifle. Once the rifle is banned, just like drugs, weapons will be smuggled in and still used. Serial numbers on the gun will be filed off and untraceable. At least with the rifles, someone can still prevent a mass shooting. Now if the rifle was banned, shot guns or hand guns will be used. During the Columbine school massacre, two of the weapons used were an Intratec TEC-DC9 9-mm semi-automatic pistol and a sawed off…
