Second Amendment gives American citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Many people own firearms, whether it is a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, but not everyone knows how they function. The process is a bit more complex than to pull a trigger, some magic happens, and the projectile accelerates out of the barrel of the firearm. Every person who owns a firearm should be educated on the physics of how a firearm functions. Once you are confident with your shot on a target, pull the trigger. The specific

Firearms can be investigated in many different ways. The most common way is examining the bullet. Bullet characteristics such as shape, impressions, and grooves can help determine what type of firearm the bullet was launched from. The same can be said for the bullets cartridge. You can identify what firearm was used just from the cartridge itself. When you load a cartridge into a firearm you will leave distinctive marks that can be identified. The cartridge doesn’t necessarily have to be fired in

Firearms can easily be concealed, so individuals lean toward these types of weapons to use for self-defense. Unfortunately, criminals also use these types of weapons and are easy for them to steal; firearms are easily available on the black market; this makes pistols appealing to criminals.

Pelosi’s position to oppose the proponents of firearms (428). Furthermore, Wood’s article provides information offered by Gun Free Schools that states reasons for not owning guns in school. The first counterargument that Wood responds to is that concealed handguns would detract from a healthy learning environment (428). The Colorado legislature passed a law allowing lawful residents, who possess a concealed and carry permit, the ability to possess a firearm on Colorado State campuses. To date this has

activity and it is enjoyed by many people, so much so that it is also done at a competitive level. Although many people may have shot a firearm of some sort, few of those people actually realize how much physics is involved with the shot. So what exactly is Ballistics? Ballistics is the science or study of the motion of projectiles and in the case of most firearms, these projectiles are the bullets. There are two things that affect the flight of a bullet once it has been shot out of the gun. These

Firearms are a large factor of the American culture, even with the infamous outcomes. They are a part of the foundation of the Unites States; as of 1791, known as the second Amendment, “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” (Lund and Winkler, no date).
