Glock bullets are interchangeable only between models of the same caliber. Furthermore, the Glock's cartridges lack the potential for pure firepower, as they generally take the standard full metal jacket loads. Takedown power on the Smith and Wessons is stronger, with the potential to use a wider range of different types of bullets. In terms of use for law enforcement, pure firepower might not make much of a difference, and in fact can be a hindrance. For instance, an overly powerful bullet might pass through the intended object and hit innocent civilians behind it. Both the Smith and Wesson and the Glock models of 9mm semiautomatics can be trusted in terms of their level of accuracy as well as their overall shooting speed, controllability, and recoil, and in fact, neither stands out above the other on any of these key specs. Ergonomics is an important consideration for law enforcement officers who handle their weapons regularly. Moreover, the huge variations among law enforcement officials in terms of hand size and dexterity make ergonomic versatility a major determining factor in the purchasing of semiautomatic pistols for an entire police force or department. Most of the Smith and Wesson and Glock 9mm models tend to weigh within the same range, and because both manufacturers use polymer overlays on top of stainless steel, weight will not...
NRA: Nature, Structure, And External Factors Affecting Success The National Rifle Association is an organization founded in 1871, ostensibly for the purposes of encouraging activities related to gun ownership (including firearms safety and marksmanship training). It currently has a membership of approximately five million individuals, with an annual budget of approximately 231 million dollars. However, to suggest that the NRA is spending its vast annual budget purely on sponsoring shooting contests
Gun Ownership and Gun Control In American culture today, guns are worshiped. Children play with toy guns, television and film glorify gun violence, teenagers show off guns to one another in order to get respect, and powerful lobbyist groups keep these weapons legal and accessible. There's something wrong with this picture. There's something wrong with a culture that believes guns are more important than feeding the hungry or sheltering the homeless.
The increasing and gruesome mass killings in schools and other public arenas is connected to military type assault rifles and hidden handguns, carrying large amounts of ammunition magazines. These artilleries of war are modeled to cause overwhelming damage within short periods without reloading (Rosenthal, 2016). There is an upcoming logical debate to convince the government to ban these artilleries among the public. A large number of Americans prefer banning "assault weapons";
Results in Other Countries Canada overhauled its laws after gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women and himself at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique college in 1989. It's now illegal to possess an unregistered handgun or any kind of rapid-fire weapon. Canada also requires training, a personal risk assessment, two references, spousal notification and criminal record checks. Government figures suggest the measures have been at least a partial success: Canada's gun homicides have plunged
Nationwide, those who attended graduate school were 11 percentage points more likely to vote for Kerry than those without a college education. In other discoveries, Bush supporters believed overwhelmingly (72% to 26%) that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction (still). This is despite the fact that it was categorically established that Iraq had no such weapons. Bush supporters also believed, in comparison to Kerry supporters, overwhelmingly that Iraq was tied to Al
Ineffectiveness of Gun Control: Violence in America's Schools (A Case Study on Kip Kinkel) Psychologist Jeffrey Hicks, after counseling 14-year-old Kip Kinkel, diagnosed the young boy's condition that "Kip had difficulty with learning in school, had difficulty managing anger, some angry acting out and depression." A year later, in May 21, 1998, 15-year-old Kip Kinkel murdered 2 students and injured 25 others when he attacked at the school cafeteria at Thurston
