Gun control is an issue that many people faced with daily. People are buying guns as if they were toys. With several tragedies in recent years, investigators determined that these criminals had an easy access to buy several guns and ammunition. When tragedy happens, we need to realize that our society is not safe and a change need to occur. We need to revise the way the laws is set-up to purchase guns in person and online. “The widespread availability of firearms has made it easier for criminals

of the bullet hole, along with the distribution of ammunition and cartridges. Gunshot residue is another commonly implemented technique testing hands, nearby objects, and the target for particles burned within a gun. This both helps recreate the scene and identifies those who have recently shot a gun (Rankin). Due to increases in gun violence, research has advanced so that, through the use of databases, the unique markings from spent ammunition can be tracked to a single firearm and identify the

also look at some of the other opportunities made available for women then and the reasons behind them. The main contributory factor to women's employment was the 'Great Shell Shortage' of May 1915. On the Western front levels of ammunition for troops was falling critically low, rendering many of them useless on the battlefield as it

They now have a good supply of food, water, and guns/ammunition. They have about two months worth of food and water and about 10,000 rounds of ammunitions along with about 100 guns. They all get a good night 's rest and wake up in the morning and begin their journey. As they all head out they are driving down the

On December 14, 2012, the United States suffered perhaps the most horrific of the many mass shootings that have troubled the country in recent years when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people, including 20 children aged 6 and 7, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before killing himself. Earlier in the day, Lanza had killed his mother, a gun enthusiast, and taken several of her assault weapons, which he used in his Rampage (“Assault 5”). The importance of public safety

On Thursday, 4/14/2016, at approximately 5:55 P.M. I was dispatched to 1909 Hemlock Drive in reference to someone discharging a firearm. Dispatch advised that a neighbor witnesses the incident and that the two white males were getting into a vehicle. The vehicle was described as black, Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck. Upon my arrival to Hemlock drive I located the residence and observed a black, Chevrolet S-10 parked in the yard with the passenger door open. There vehicle was unoccupied. As I approached

from the victim or surface. Finally, at a crime scene an investigator must gather evidence at a death scene. When a handgun is used the investigator should document class characteristics of a firearm, bullet or shell casing. Also, the handgun or ammunition should be dusted for fingerprint and DNA evidence. Early handguns of the 14th century were made of a bronze tube or wrought iron, packed with gun powder and a projectile then ignited through a touch-hole. These early guns were wildly inaccurate

“Every day ninety-three Americans are killed with guns. For every one person that is killed with a gun, two more are injured. America’s gun homicide rate is more than twenty-five times the average of other developed countries.” (CDC, 2015) These facts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control show us that a real problem has arisen in America. Guns have caused a division in the country, and give people more power than some can handle. This dilemma strikes a question into the minds of Americans. When

When a firearm is discharged multiple forms of trace evidence are created. Comparative ballistic techniques can link the projectile to the weapon. Microstamping can link a spent bullet casing to the weapon that discharged it. Traces of gunshot residue (GSR) can be used to link a suspect to a discharged weapon. Utilizing similar methods of microscopy that are applied to analyzing other items of trace evidence such as hairs, fibers, and illegal substances, the scanning electron microscope is currently
