He purchased 33 firearms, mostly rifles, between October 2016 and September 2017, according to an ATF spokesperson. The gunman checked into the room days in advance, stocked a cache of weapons there and set up cameras inside his hotel suite and in the hallway. Paddock had an arsenal of weapons in his hotel suite, including bump-fire stocks -- legal devices that enable a shooter to fire bullets rapidly, similar to an automatic rifle. He had outfitted 12 of his firearms with the bump…
The Cherokee nation tells a story to their children about the origins of hunting. In the story, Kanati or “Fortunate Hunter,” teaches his twin sons a lesson after they comment a careless act with the animals of the forest. The story ends with Kanati telling his children that they must always be careful when dealing with nature, and they must always think before they act while in the wilderness. To the Natives, hunting was extremely labor intensive and great skill was required to bring meat back…
There were many forms of technological advances during the Civil War, such as transportation, communication, and battlefield tactics. The first technological advances from the Civil War was railroads. Railroads were central to the conduct and outcome of the Civil War. Armies went out of their way to wreck railroads in order to sabotage the enemy. There were 22,000 miles of track in the North, while the South only had 9,000 miles. The railroads were significant during the Civil war, because it…
This past saturday around 7pm a rifle toting gunman walked into Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington. The shooter was able to shoot four women and kill one man before he stopped his rampage, police were saying his motive is unclear and his victims were random victims. With shooting random people and having very little knowledge of the shooter at this time other than a poor video surveillance shot of his body, it will be hard to find out who he is unless he comes forward or someone see’s the…
From April in 1861 to the spring in 1865, a war was fought between the Union and Confederate states of America. It was a bloody battle resulting in a total death estimate of 620,000 men, and is believed to be responsible for the most militaristic deaths in American wars.

It had only been a week since my last major mission, and I was already planning another one. After I had gotten back to my hideout, I had changed shirts and grabbed my macrobinoculars and rifle before leaving again. Which lead to me sitting on a rooftop across from an Imperial base roughly 500 miles away from the one that had blown up. I held my binoculars with one hand, jotting down notes in my open notebook about their security with the other. Recon today, strike day after tomorrow, I decided…
archery hunter’s ideas are right, or the other way around. I am just encouraging hunters to think outside of the box and use what they know to their advantage. Rifle hunters can simply take the information given in this article and information they have gathered and do the exact same thing. For those who hunt public land with a bow during rifle season, those who hunt after their states gun season ends or those who hunt heavily pressured land, we can learn from these different philosophies and…
Revolution. Step Five: In the end, I think that we can all agree that there is a problem. Guns and violence seem to go hand in hand but Americans do currently, under today’s interpretation of the Second Amendment, have the right to own hand guns and rifles. Also, there are organization fighting for the rights of those who can’t lobby their ideas and views to our government such as the…
closely resemble, the police response has appeared to be not only heavy-handed but out of step with the most effective ways for both law enforcement and military personnel to respond to demonstrations. “The police are standing with bulletproof vests and rifles pointed at people's chests,” said Jason Fritz, a former Army officer and an international policing operations analyst. That’s not controlling the crowd, that’s intimidating them. The first thing that went wrong was when the police showed…
The reason why World War 1 lasted so long is because, a multifaceted one, with most historians attributing the length of the war to, inter alia, and the similar strength of the two sides. The famous German war plan aimed at avoiding fighting a war at two fronts by attacking France from the north, encircling Paris, quickly defeating the French, and then moving towards the eastern front to face the Russians who would not have been able to mobilize in time to help their ally. There were a few…
