These days, most people do not know how to properly maintain a gun and know where to place one out of reach of minors. You have to keep the firearm cleaned; and well oiled if not it will rust or malfunction. Another reason is to make sure to be in a safe and proper environment to prevent hazards or harm to oneself or others. Firearms need to be well taken cared of through out owning one whether it has been put away for some time or has been shot multiple times in order to avoid the gun from jamming or backfiring in your face. One example, imagine hunting and the monster buck you have been dying to take down finally appears, as you go for the kill-shot, you squeeze the trigger and..... click, the gun is barred, the buck dashes into the …show more content…
First, you need to dismantle the gun obviously before assembling it. Step 1, unscrew the cap and remove the barrel. Step 2, pop out the pin for the trigger housing (use the glock armorer tool) then detach the trigger group. Step 3, take out both the cartridge stop and cartridge interrupter. Step 4, dislodge the bolt slide, after this step the for-end comes right off. Step 5, you are going to push the bolt out, which slides out from the front. Last step, remove the elevator out by squeezing it together. Now, to reassemble the shotgun these steps are required. Step 1, insert the elevator in first, there are two side holes on the side of the gun, clip the elevator back in place properly to avoid displacement. Step 2, place the bolt slide back in through the front. Step 3, take the the for-end and slide it over the magazine tube, make sure the two small ends from the for-end correctly goes into the openings on the receiver, once in, pull down a little bit to clamp in and slide it further down. Step 4, emplace the bolt slide back in on the bolt then correctly align with the clips of the for-end and the bolt itself. Step 5, the cartridge interrupter and cartridge stop is to be placed, the cartridge interrupter has a little tab on the side so you can determine how it goes in (make sure its in there just right) then the other fits on the opposite side basically with the same concept. …show more content…
The NRA, gun manufacturer, and I recommend that you know how to properly maintain a firearm in order to prevent hazards and harm. It is critical for oneself to know how to maintain a firearm whether it may be a rifle, pistol, or shotgun. The environment desired to perform the rules of this process is to be in a safe area, specifically away from little children and again to avoid hurt to others and yourself. The steps I told you will help you from carelessly misgoverning your firearm so it may not jam or backfire. And to keep it in an appropriate condition to be proud of. Remember you never want to miss the opportunity to slay that monster buck or the massive gobbler you have longed for. However, to a hand-full of folk the breaking down and reassembling of a firearm can be satisfying. In general, to keep it clarified it is important to know how to maintain a gun, firearm, or whatever you may call one in an acceptable condition for the years to come.
There should be guidelines set to insure the safety of our society before the gun is purchased. There should be a safety test given before the gun could be purchased. A test to show that the owners know how to properly use the gun. It is a requirement to take a test to show your ability before you get your drivers license, why not a before you buy a gun? There should also be a class taught teaching the proper storage of a gun. Teaching to keep the gun in a locked cabinet with the key in separate area. And the three to five day waiting period should remain.
The rise in cases of gun violence and related incidences of assault has drawn the public to the issue of guns and gun control. Such has been evident within the spheres of politics especially with the last election period seeing the incumbent president Donald Trump suggesting on stringent gun control laws. However, despite the acknowledgment of the need to have better gun laws, much ground and consensus has never reached. Such, to an extent, contributed to the current lack of political goodwill within the country to have the necessary legislations enacted to facilitate the same on the controls (Grandy 23). Of the guns under question are the assault rifles. Like the military weapons, assault rifles have a destructive potential to causing
This paper discusses and is centered around the on-going debate over gun control, I directly address how each major political party views this subject and what I believe the United States Government should do to be able to best combat this tremendous issue. I use research from multiple sources that contrast each side of the argument and give an overall insight into the world of modernized gun control.
There have been many instances where firearms have not been locked up correctly and a small child has gotten a hold of it and a loss of life has occured. These bad situations have been tragic but the only thing that can be blamed for it is one thing. Improper storage of firearms. If there are children in a household any weapon of any kind should always be locked up and out of reach of small fingers. These situations would not occur if people learned to take better care of their weapons and their kids. Children who are not yet old enough to understand the concept of the dangers of a gun and how to properly treat one should never be in reach of these potentially dangerous
Gun Control in the United States has gone out of control. The United States should enforce laws to not allow any guns in a house hold in order to reduce violence and crime in the country. Reducing the rate of crime in the United States, controlling big weapons, taxing ammunition, and gun collection can help make this happen. Gun Control can make this country a safer environment to live in.
Gun control remains a moot point among many people today. With mass shootings that happen in our country, this question arises: can gun control stop shootings or does gun control promote shootings. History tends to repeat itself, so we need to take a trip to the past to solve this issue. Throughout history gun control has changed in many ways from registration/ background checks, the type of gun that can be purchased, and the age at which you can purchase types of firearms.
On April 20th of the year 1999, two high school students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, went armed into Columbine High School with guns, knives, and a multitude of bombs. The result was the slaughter of twelve students and one teacher. The gunners also turned the guns
Guns versus crime is the hot topic in America. Government officials are looking at how much crime has happened with firearms instead of also looking at how the American people will be able to defend themselves when need be if guns are fully taken away. Government officials are trying to find a solution to eliminate the percentage of deaths per year. Guns are dangerous when used inappropriately, especially when they get into the wrong hands. There just isn't a problem with adults handling guns the wrong way, there is also children getting their hands on them and injuring and killing others as well. More gun control will not reduce crime because people will find other dangerous ways to injure and kill others, and also taking
Since I was a little girl, I remember hunting season; Dad and Katlyn, my sister, would come home to say they killed a deer. Even though I did not enjoy hunting, I still see how much they love to go; hunting great bonding time for them. My dad taught my sister and me how important gun safety is. He has shown us how to carry a gun properly, never to aim it at anyone, never put our finger on the trigger until ready to shoot, and always leave the safety button on until ready to shoot as well. In my house guns are always hidden or locked up in a safe, only Dad knows the combination, so no intruder can get to them. Guns are a very serious item. I was raised to understand guns are not something to joke around about; if they are in the hands
The first basic rule is to never assume your gun is not loaded. No matter what, always check to make sure there is no ammunition in the gun. Another big rule is to remember that the safety (which is to prevent the gun from firing) of the gun is a mechanical device and can fail. Always point the gun in a safe direction (which is away from people, etc.). Horseplay should be avoided at all times when handling a gun. For storage, always make sure the gun is unloaded and locked in a location that is inaccessible to children.
Gun Control has been an issue that has been brought to the public’s eyes in recent years. This main issue has been going on for many years, for example when John F. Kennedy was assassinated; it raised public awareness to the lack of control on sales and also possession of guns in America. Until 1968 guns were available over the counter in stores and through mail catalogs to just about any adult in America. This was an example of how loosely guns were regulated which bring us back to the issue of guns. The constitution tells us in the second amendment that we, as American Citizens, have the right to bear arms. But the government is trying to change that by regulating everything to do with owning a gun. My stance: Gun
Scholarly Essay: Gun Control There has been considerable debate recently in Canada over the issue of gun control. The Canadian parliament enacted the Firearms Act to enforce gun control by requiring gun owners to register their firearms. Just recently, the government of Alberta lead in a charge, including five other provinces and numerous pro-gun groups, complaining that the law is unconst...
Accidents are another reason some people use to argue for the necessity of gun control. However, more accidental shootings are from guns which are unsafely stored in the home, than from intentional shooting of another person. According to the article, “Home is Where the Gun is” in the magazine New Scientist, “The level of gun crime in the US has been falling…but firearms injuries involving children are not necessarily the result of criminal activity…37 per cent of the children recorded…were hurt unintentionally. ‘These injuries likely could have been prevented with more careful firearm storage within the home…’” (1). The number of accidental shootings could be reduced by careful firearm storage within a home. People who own guns would benefit from knowing good ways to protect their family members from accessing guns. They would then be able to protect themselves and their children from any potential dangers before officers of the law would need to intervene. Education and careful gun storage would prevent many accidental shootings and would also prevent theft
This weeks material covered preventative maintenance and the purpose of applying the intended procedures. Evermore it goes without saying how important it is for gun owners to properly clean their individual firearms. I will now move into the importance of proper cleaning and storage of said firearms.
The legality of having guns and possessing firearms in the United States of America is well engraved within the Second Amendment of the nation’s constitution. However, the issue of gun regulation has remained a central topic in America’s public. Some people advocate for a total ban on gun possession, while others are totally against this idea. The shooting incident in Las Vegas weeks ago has raised controversial debates in the United States of America. In fact, the White House is concerned on the stand that President Trump will take on the issue of stricter gun laws. One of the cities that has gained the attention of both the legislators on this topic is Chicago. For its reputation for its low rate of gang arrests, lax punishments for gun law violations, and comparatively weak laws in accordance with surrounding states, it is justifiable to say that Chicago’s daily shootings are a clear indicator that strict state gun laws don’t work.
