Guns are a complex
and controversial topic in the United States and around the world, but not at
Oakland Tactical. There are many different types, uses, and laws related to
guns, and they have a significant impact on society, culture, and politics.
Here are some facts and information about guns that you might find interesting
or useful in your pursuit of purchasing a firearm:
- A gun is a weapon
that fires projectiles at high speeds using different materials, such as
gunpowder, compressed air, or electromagnetism. Guns can be used for hunting,
self-defense, sport, recreation, or repelling crime.
- The history of guns begins in 10th-century China, when bamboo tubes
containing gunpowder and pellets were mounted on spears to make fire lances.
These devices evolved into metal-barreled hand cannons in the 13th century, and
then spread throughout Eurasia in the 14th century.
- The three main types of guns are rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Rifles are
long guns that fire bullets from a rifle barrel, which makes them more accurate
over long distances. Shotguns are long guns that fire shells containing multiple
pellets or slugs, which makes them more effective at short ranges. Handguns are
short guns that can be held and fired with one or both hands, which makes them
more portable and concealable.
- Guns can have different actions, which are the mechanisms that load, fire,
and eject cartridges or shells. Some common actions are single-action,
double-action, bolt-action, lever-action, pump-action, semi-automatic, and
fully automatic, our personal favorite.
- Guns can fire different calibers, which are the sizes of the bullets or
shells they use. Calibers are usually measured in millimeters or inches, and
can vary in diameter, length, weight, shape, and power. Some common calibers
are .22 LR, 9mm Luger, .45 ACP, .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, 12 gauge, and
.50 BMG.
- Guns have different uses and purposes depending on the type, action, caliber,
and accessories of the gun. Some guns are designed for hunting specific animals
or game birds. Some guns are designed for self-defense against human or animal
threats. Some guns are designed for sport shooting or target practice. Some
guns are designed for military or law enforcement use. Some guns are designed
for collecting or historical interest.
- Guns are regulated by different laws at the federal, state, and local levels
in the United States. These laws vary widely in scope and enforcement across
the country. Some laws require background checks, permits, licenses,
registrations, or waiting periods for buying or owning guns. Some laws restrict
the types, actions, calibers, capacities, features, or accessories of guns that
can be owned or carried. Some laws prohibit certain people from owning or
possessing guns based on their criminal history, mental health status, age, or
other factors. All gun laws are technically unconstitutional, but we are here
because of the misuse of local, state, and federal legislative powers.
