This week we learned about the different types of firearms actions, differences between rifles and shotguns, and how to obtain your Federal Firearms License (FFL). Even though it was a basic overview of how to obtain your Federal Firearms Licenses, the reading did hit several key points. You can request a packet directly from the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) by calling, submitting an online request for an application, or download an application from the ATF website. During the process of filling out the applications you will need to also get a fingerprint card from your local law enforcement. You must meet numerous requirements prior to applying for FFL such as: 21 years old or older, not under indictment, not a felon, not a fugitive of justice, or not an alien just to name a few. There are 11 types of firearms license one can apply for. Type 01 Dealer in …show more content…
Both are considered long guns because they are shot from the shoulder and held with two hands. One of the major differences between the two is the barrel. On a rifle the barrel has a thicker wall with a smaller bore and rifling. Rifling is a thin grove or ridges inside the bore to give a spin on the projectile, which increases accuracy and distance. Shotgun has a thinner wall with a smooth bore. Specialty shotguns may have a choke in the bore, which adds a narrowing about 1½ inch from the end of barrel, to control the shot as it leaves. Another option for a choke is a screw on choke. When using a screw on choke one must be cautious about using the correct threaded choke, such as a Remington choke with a Remington barrel. A second difference is rifles use a cartridge and shotgun uses shells. Cartridges are measured in calibers and shells are measured in gages, except .410gage, which is acutely a caliber and would be equivalent to 68gage. Both rifles and shotguns have different types actions, such as single shot, semi-automatic and
A firearm is one of the weapons that may be used when hunting. A firearm utilizes pressure produced from the burning of gunpowder to create gas. The pressure produced from the burning powder propels a projectile out of the barrel at a target. In rifles and most handguns the barrel has rifling on the inside of the barrel to make the projectile spin to travel better in the air. Rifling are groove that spin as they go through the inside of the barrel. Shotgun barrels are smooth and can fire “slugs”, a single projectile, or “shot”,
Gun control is a controversial issue for a long time around the world, particularly in U.S. because of a lots of mass shooting in school and public places. The second Amendment of the U.S. constitution is one of the shortest in all of the bill of right, it was written by the time period of American’s birth and it is the spirit of self-defense that help the new citizens of U.S. win their own freedom from the British. But now as the gun shooting problem happening every day in America, this gun control problem has gradually become to a hot issue. Compare to other countries like Britain, Canada, Japan, China, the difference between U.S. and those countries is in these countries to get a firearm is a very difficult thing
“The right to bear arms”, an amendment so prioritized by our founding fathers that it earned the very second spot on the list of birth rights as Americans. However, with constant tragedies striking the United States, such as massacres in public high schools and universities, mall shootings, and attempted assassinations on state representatives, it’s no wonder law makers are constantly debating the topic of gun control.

I believe you’re using APA and you did a good job of doing that, but you need to put your title on your first official page (the page you actually start your essay). I also think you should come up with a better title than just gun control, I mean what about gun control, your title doesn’t give me any insight on what you actually will be talking about dealing with guns. Going through it I can sense what you are trying to convey but the title is a little bland. Also, you cannot have your reference page on the same page as some of your essay, so the last page needs to JUST be your reference page. Speaking of references, I’m sorry to tell you, but you have no academic sources in your essay, no primary source either. You just have popular sources. My advice is go on websites
A Man in his mid-30s was found dead at the bottom of a mineshaft with a gunshot wound. The man was found at 2:45 pm on October 20th 1990 after a women reported about witnessing the murder. The mine shack was located near Parry Sound Street. The man was depicted as blue eyes, blonde hair and a birth mark near his right ear. He wore a white t-shirt and black jeans with branded running shoes. He was found dead on his stomach with a small gun wound on his back chest.
One of the worst weapons I have certification on is the shotgun. The shotgun is a very powerful and intimidating weapon, but you must have a proper fit and stance. A shotgun and its stock are designed based on the dimensions of an average shooter. It has an average length of pull that is measured from the trigger to the center of the recoil pad. A shotgun, needs the proper fitting of a comb, length of pull, cast and drop to meet a comfortable shooting experience.
Gun control is a very touchy subject. I don't believe that taking the guns away from the law abiding citizens is the correct way to go about this issue. The criminals are the ones not going thru the proper ways to buy a firearm. Right now there are 2 background checks that you go thru to buy a firearm. One is state and the other is federal. The Democrats believe there should be more background checks that potential gun owners should go thru. They also believe that banning certain guns and items for guns will help the issue. The most recent shooting was done with a handgun and a shotgun. There has been a big political debate over the gun control issue. How much is too much and how much is not enough? This is the real question. Some people feel
Lately, there has been an ongoing debate about controlling guns and many people are trying to discontinue giving citizens the right to own or possess firearm weapons. There are many people who think that nobody should be allowed to possess a firearm where as there are many other people that believe they deserve the right to own a firearm for many reasons. Because of the large differential between beliefs on this topic there is a large debate within the US Government whether or not to allow citizens to continue using guns and keep them. What really seems to be happening with this debate is that the people who want restrictions are not getting their way. There are many reasons for this and many reasons why people should be allowed to
Gun Control Gun Control has been a highly controversial issue in the United States for the past several decades. From assassinations to mass shootings, every time guns and violence come together the issue resurfaces. Should the nation act on stricter gun laws and legislation? Would new gun laws help or hinder the gun crime rate in the United States? The nation stands divided on the issue; both sides taking a firm stance as to what they believe should be done legislatively with guns. Gun control advocates state that the number ofand different types of guns in the hands of the American public is simply too great. There are an estimated two hundred and forty million guns in circulation across our nation made up of three hundred million citizens. Gun control advocates reason that more guns lead to more gun crime. They site the extremely tight gun laws in countries such as the United Kingdom and Japan and compare the gun number to gun violence ratio. The ratio in those countries is nearly one hundred times lower than that of the United States with .04 gun related deaths per one hundred thousand people compared to the United State’s 3.42 gun related deaths per one hundred thousand people. Furthermore, out of the fourteen deadliest mass shootings in the world, half of them have been committed in the United States. Even though there was a decline in gun related crimes during the 90’s, they have been on the rise since 2005. Currently, the United States ranks twelfth out of one
It is argued whether the phrase “assault rifle,” which came in the American lexicon around the 1980's,first originated as political ploy by firearm control advocates or as a marketing ploy by firearm retailers. What is for sure is that “assault weapon” is not a technical term, it was a phrase of art used by gun manufactures, or for the army. The nearest in those groups is the phrase “assault rifle” which is a military medium caliber, fired at the shoulder the shooter is allowed to select between semi-automatic which shoots one bullet per pull of the trigger and the other option is fully automatic which continues to fire bullets while the trigger is being pressed and there is a three shot fire also and it shoots 3 bullets each
Many people believe carrying a gun would protect and keep them safe but, yet guns have been mostly involved in many of the deaths caused each year. Instead, of using a gun for protection, many people misuse this weapon, increasing unintended injuries, and even deaths. Many gun shootings were even caused by people’s emotion, such as feeling weak, or hateful between another human being. Bryce Williams who was fired from the station felt nothing but, frustration which were one of the reason to cause the shooting of Alison Parker and Adam Ward. The gun, ended up in the wrong hand, which allowed the Bryce to put other people’s life at risk causing two deaths and an injury. Instead, of people causing less violence to the world, all they are doing
Guns. A word that sends shivers down some spines, and reminds others they need to clean theirs. The issue of gun control riles up many across America. Gun control falls under changing the current gun laws in any way that makes them stricter. People can buy any accessory they want whether it is considered harmful or not. It is also known the mentally ill can also easily obtain guns and ammunition. Most of the mass shootings Americans experienced are conducted by the mentally ill. Felons, who legally should not have the ability to obtain guns, can easily obtain them through background check mishaps and private sales. The United States government should slightly limit - not eliminate - civilian access to guns because: certain accesories serve
The City of Stockton, California is a mid-sized city and is located approximately sixty-five miles east of the San Francisco Bay Area.

This course is titled Shooting Sports Management, and we were assigned to read chapter one of the textbook provided. Chapter ne specifically addressed "Gun laws, and Legislation". In today's crazy world, law and regulations change like people change their socks. So it is important for the gunsmith to stay well informed on issues effecting the firearms industry. Information discussed was the minimum requirements in order to obtain your FFL. Such requirements are that you are at least 21 years of age, must not have omitted any information in the application, as well as having a premise for your business. As we previously learned, be aware of all local zones, and ordinances. When applying for the FFL, it is necessary to have hours in which the business must be open to the general public. This allows for the BAFTE to conduct inspections. The cost for obtaining your initial FFL is two hundred dollars, for a three year period. After that, it is down to only ninety dollars.
