Topic: Gun Control Purpose: Stricter Laws on Gun control Specific purpose: Gun Control Controversy Thesis: Most gun owners are responsible and law-abiding, and they use their guns safely. The President strongly believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. But to better protect our children and our communities from tragic mass shootings like those in Newtown, Aurora, Oak Creek, and Tucson, there are four common-sense steps we can take right now based of

It is described that the weapon focus effect is when a witness of a crime that was committed with an armed offender stays focused on the weapon and not the offender. Since the witness stays so focused on the weapon they cannot recall correct details about the offender when reporting the crime. However, if there is not a weapon involved then the witness is more likely to recall details about the offender. There have been many studies conducted involving the weapon focus effect. Each study consist

We can learn a lot from firearm evidence left at a crime scene. Casings, dust, and bullets can all connect someone to the scene of the crime and the weapon. It is important that investigators know the proper routine of firearm evidence collection at the scene so they do not ruin such important evidence. When collecting a firearm at the scene it is important to know the correct steps. All firearms are collected differently. Semiautomatic pistols are often used in crimes because of their size and

This week in our readings and videos we focused on interpreting proof marks, and using them to identify firearms. In this short paper, I will briefly go over what I learned from our coursework this week. In the power point “Proof marks and Identification, Understanding Firearms Markings 1880-1945” Ian McCollum went over a some of the different things markings on firearms represent. This Power Point made it evident that markings stamped on firearms can represent, but are not limited to Dates, country

3/12/14 A Defense of Hedonism Many objections have been made against the theory of axiological hedonism. I will not attempt to respond to all of them, but instead focus on one of the stronger arguments, which deals with life trajectories. I will begin by briefly presenting the theory of axiological hedonism and then present the objection regarding life trajectories to the best of my ability. Finally for the majority of my essay, I will argue for why this objection is unsound and does not prove

whether or not they ever will be involved in target shooting, so that they can practice the rules for safe gun handling any time they are in a situation where a gun is present. • MUZZLE. The forward end of the barrel. The point where the pellet or projectile leaves the barrel when the gun is fired. A gun is aimed by pointing its muzzle at the target. ACTION. The working mechanism of the gun. Gun actions typically have a bolt or lever that is used to open and close the action so that the gun can be loaded

The motion in two dimensions is called the motion of projectiles. The projectile object is one on which is moved under the force of gravity. Some examples of projectiles are like an object is dropped from its rest condition

Tutorial 3: Projectile motion and Laws of motion. 1. Two crickets, Chirpy and Milada, jump from the top of a vertical cliff. Chirpy just drops from a vertical cliff with a height of 350 m, while Milada jumps horizontally with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s . How far from the base of the cliff will Milada hit the ground? [67.6 m] 2. A ball is given an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 60.0o with respect to the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical displacements after

time of the horizontal component of the arrow’s velocity from the time it is launched to the time just before it hits the ground? (1) 3. The diagram below shows the path of a projectile in the absence of air resistance. Which one of the following diagrams best represents the path of the projectile under the same initial conditions when the air resistance is taken into account? (The path in absence of air resistance is shown for comparison as a dotted line.) (1) 4. This
