Summary Of Making Men Equal The Legend Of Samuel Twenty
In this short paper I will go over my thoughts on the article we were given for review this week… Making Men Equal: The Legend of Samuel Colt’s 200th Birthday; By: Arnold M.Chernoff. I love firearms history, so anything to do with Colt is definitely something I enjoy reading.

Mr. Chernoff began by giving us a little bit of Mr. Colts foundation by writing about the “winter of 1831 that Sam Colt saw a revolving pistol for the first time. This occasion was so important that he lied about it in later years. The gun shop he visited in Calcutta had a few examples of the Collier revolving flintlock pistol. Studying them gave Sam ideas for improving the revolver.” I find it so interesting that having so little experience with firearms at the time

    Samuel Meeker And The Patriot: Summary

    Samuel Meeker storms into the Meeker tavern in a muddy uniform one rainy and wet day on April 1775. With a hungry stomach and a smile on his face he claims : "We've just beaten the British in Massachusetts!” which makes father extremely mad. You see, Father is loyal to the English government and King, or as Sam would say, Lobsterbacks. They get into an argument, which isn’t unusual between Sam and Father. Later, when the brothers are outside together Sam reveals to Tim his plan to steal their father's gun to fight-with the Patriots. Tim protests, says that stealing the gun would be a sin. Also, fighting with the patriots could get him killed, and it would be betraying Father and the King. But Sam won’t give in. The next morning, Sam is gone-and so is the gun.…

    According to Lee A. Silva's document, "John Browning's 1887 Lever Action Shotgun was Another Winner for Winchester and a Hit with Wells Fargo Guards," many of John Browning's designs and ideas went into Oliver Winchester's firearms (Silva).

    Article Summary: Gun Reform For A Generation

    Gun Reform for a Generation, an editorial posted in the NY Times on Jan 16, 2013 is an editorial about gun control. The author is not listed, but his or her position on gun control is not exactly the same as mine. The author deals with the 2nd ammendment, and how President Obama is doing the right thing by cracking down on gun laws. The author of this editorial is 100% for gun control, no matter what the extent. But, he has very poor facts on the issue. The only points he brought up was that of Obama's speeches given about gun control. The author does not appeal to my emotions, and may not appeal to anybody's emotions at all, except for those that are ignorant.…

    Shooting Dad Rhetorical Analysis

    In the essay “Shooting Dad” by Sarah Vowell, we see how guns affected the relationship between Vowell and her father. From her childhood to her adult years, she was never a particular fan of guns; since her father was a gunsmith, they never had much in common. Even though guns were not the only thing they disagreed on, it caused a huge disconnection between them because it is something they were both passionate about. As an attempt to be persuasive, Vowell uses anecdotes throughout her essay to illustrate her point, help the audience understand her view on guns, and show the relationship she had with her father.…

    Analysis Of What Caliber Is It By Paul Mazan

    In this short paper I will cover my thoughts on the article provided for this week’s article summary, “What Caliber Is It?” Paul Mazan made a very valid point when he touched on the fact that things aren’t always cut and dry when purchasing used firearms... and that in certain cases they can be quite dangerous. Mr. Mazan stated that “Whether behind the counter of a gunshop or just perusing the aisles of a gun show, you are going to come in contact with a lot of used guns. It may be a gun coming in for repair, a trade in, or just one you have been looking for to add to your accumulation. There are questions you need to ask.” I’d have to whole heartedly agree with that statement. I recently picked up a new Savage rifle through trade, and It turned…

    Abraham Lincoln: The Greatest Measure Of The 19th Century

    “The greatest measure of the 19th century was passed by corruption, aided and abetted by the purest man in the world”. This quote was said by Thaddeus Stephens, when he was with his African-American mistress after the debate (Lincoln). The quote illustrates Abraham Lincoln’s and others’ arm-twisting and political maneuvering in January 1865 to secure passing of the 13th Amendment, which, when ratified by three-quarters of the states, abolished slavery throughout the nation.…

    Research Paper On Gun Control In The USA

    In addition to the influence of the Civil War on the development of an American gun culture, Hofstadter claimed that before the development of the entertainment industry and organized competitive sports, hunting and fishing became major pastimes. For many American youth, receiving their first real rifle symbolized passage to manhood. Texas is a western state which is famous for the cow boys, and cow boys have the iconic hats, boots and guns. These people with guns are always heroes. So these kinds of characters give people strength and courage, and make people brave. Shooting is a good sport from ancient to modern society. Guns’ shooting is the extension of archery. The first gold medal of Olympic Game is always for shooting. Hunting is another good sport activity. There are some hunting events in the fall every year, many hunting lovers will get together and share their feelings about hunting. The American Shooting Sports Council represents nearly 2000 manufacturers and importers of guns, ammunition, and accessories, along with more than 25,000 retailers and many others who make their living from the firearms industry, which according to ASSC estimates, contributed over $24 billion annually to the US economy in the late 1990s. (Utter and Spitzer 2011, p18)So it is obvious that shooting sports stimulate the economy and made a lot of money for this country. Teenagers and adults can both find interests in shooting; it is becoming a…

    Men And Women In The 1700s Essay

    Freedom. Is that not what everyone wished for during the 1700s, especially the slaves and women? The Sons of Liberty wanted to get away from Britain’s rule, ordinary men craved for freedom from the mother country’s endless taxing, but women and slaves had the least independence even in their own country. White people looked at African Americans as animals and half human. Women could not even own land, much less vote. Although men played a big part during the war, slaves and women helped shape the outcome of it. The American Revolution brought along great impacts on slavery and the status of women, changing the way they were to live forever.…

    The moon was bright. He ran almost all the way to the edge of the woods. He stumbled over the ground, looking for the spot where he had buried the gun. Yeah, here it is. Like a hungry dog scratching for a bone, he pawed it up. He puffed his black cheeks and blew dirt from the trigger and barrel. He broke it and found four cartridges unshot. He looked around; the fields were filled with silence and moonlight. He clutched the gun stiff and hard in his fingers. But, as soon as he wanted to pull…
