  • A 3D Tour Handgun History Dan Lovy
    A 3D Tour Handgun History Dan Lovy I have a new toy, a 3D printer. I am amazed at the level of quality compared to its price. I'm printing out robots, cartoon characters and as many Star Trek ship models as I can find. The darn thing is running almost 24/7 and all my shelving is filling up with little plastic objects. First let me state that I am not a gun enthusiast. I own no fire arms and have been to a firing range once in my life. I believe that we have too many and they are too accessible, especially in the U.S. That having been said, I also have a fascination with the technological change that occurred during the industrial revolution. In some ways we are still advancing the technology that was developed in the late 19th and early 20th century. Fire arms, especially handguns, offer a unique window into all this. Advancement did not happen through increased complexity. A modern Glock is not much more complex than a Colt 1911. The number of parts in a pistol has been in the same range for nearly 200 years. Cars on the other hand gained complexity and added system after system. Advancement did not happen through orders of magnitude in performance. A 747 is vastly more capable than the Wright Flyer. One of the basic measures of a pistol is how fast can it shoot a bullet, that parameter has not really changed much, certainly not as much as the top speed of a car.

    Polish contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish contribution to World War II From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The European theatre of World War II opened with the German invasion of Poland on Friday September 1, 1939 and the Soviet Polish contribution to World invasion of Poland on September 17, 1939. The Polish Army War II was defeated after more than a month of fighting. After Poland had been overrun, a government-in-exile (headquartered in Britain), armed forces, and an intelligence service were established outside of Poland. These organizations contributed to the Allied effort throughout the war. The Polish Army was recreated in the West, as well as in the East (after the German invasion of the Soviet Union). Poles provided crucial help to the Allies throughout the war, fighting on land, sea and air. Notable was the service of the Polish Air Force, not only in the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain but also the subsequent air war. Polish ground troops The personnel of submarine were present in the North Africa Campaign (siege of Tobruk); ORP Sokół displaying a Jolly the Italian campaign (including the capture of the monastery hill Roger marking, among others, at the Battle of Monte Cassino); and in battles following the the number of sunk or damaged invasion of France (the battle of the Falaise pocket; an airborne ships brigade parachute drop during Operation Market Garden and one division in the Western Allied invasion of Germany). Polish forces in the east, fighting alongside the Red army and under Soviet command, took part in the Soviet offensives across Belarus and Ukraine into Poland, across the Vistula and towards the Oder and then into Berlin.

For example, while our found¬ ing fathers could not have foreseen television, political commercials, and/or pornographic videos, their wonderful and absolute First Amendment freedoms are as important and strong today as they were more than two centuries ago. Likewise, in 1791, every large muzzle-loading rifle was an assault weapon, yet the amazing clarity and honest truth of the Second Amendment is as legally valid today as we head into our third century.

STUDENTS: Tens of thousands SHOES: 7,000 shoes in front of the Capitol, representing of students across the country the lives of children lost to gun violence in the five years rallied in support of gun safety since Sandy Hook laws on National Walkout Day. U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein 331 Hart Senate Office Building Getting military-style assault weapons Washington, DC 20510 off our streets and out of our schools. 3/18 http://feinstein.senate.gov Confronting Assault Weapons in Society Fourteen years have passed since the federal Assault Weapons Ban on military-style firearms expired in 2004. Since then, more than 887 people have been killed and more than 1,578 injured by these weapons. Towns like Parkland, Las Vegas, Newtown, Aurora and San Bernardino and are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capac- ity ammunition magazines. On November 8, 2017, we introduced a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2017. This legislation, stronger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics.
