A Basic Firearm Tutorial by John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009
A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense. -

It’s difficult to sepa- rate the evolution of the gun industry from the development of the American identity. As firearms have become more sophisticated, laws pertaining to gun ownership and gun control have grown. The exact number of individual gun laws in the United States is disputed. For most of our history, gun laws have been enacted at the local or state level, with the first national law passed in 1934. With those laws come recordkeeping requirements. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explo- sives (ATF) currently has 32 forms available for download on its website. This white paper explores the evolution and growth of the firearms industry, along with its correspond- ing regulations and requirements, and shows how that growth has led to multiple ways of processing and retaining firearms records. -
A Short History of Firearms
Foundation for European Societies of Arms Collectors A short history of firearms Prepared for FESAC by: , ing. Jaś van Driel FARE consultants P.O. box 22276 3003 DG Rotterdam the Netherlands [email protected] Firearms, a short history The weapon might well be man’s earliest invention. Prehistoric man picked up a stick and lashed out at something or someone. This happened long before man learned to harness fire or invented the wheel. The invention of the weapon was to have a profound impact on the development of man. It provided the third and fourth necessities of life, after air and water: food and protection. It gave prehistoric man the possibility to hunt animals that were too big to catch by hand and provided protection from predators, especially the greatest threat of all: his fellow man. The strong man did not sit idly while intelligent man used the weapon he invented to match his brute force and soon came up with a weapon of his own, thus forcing intelligent man to come up with something better. The arms race had started. This race has defined the history of mankind. To deny the role that weapons in general and firearms in particular have played in deciding the course of history is like denying history itself. The early years During the Stone Age axes, knives and spears appeared and around 6000 BC the bow made its debut. This was the first weapon, after the throwing spear, that could be used at some distance from the intended target, though possibly slings also were used to hurl stones. -
Pistols, Crime, and Public: Safety in Early America Clayton E. Cramer
WLR44-4_OLSON-4-25-08 6/3/2008 3:46:03 PM PISTOLS, CRIME, AND PUBLIC: SAFETY IN EARLY AMERICA CLAYTON E. CRAMER1 & JOSEPH EDWARD OLSON2 There is a vigorous debate under way about the scope of the Second Amendment. What are the limits of that right? What “arms” does it protect? Does it protect an individual right to possess and perhaps to carry firearms? The District of Columbia, in its attempt to defend its 1976 gun control law, has argued that the widespread possession of handguns (“pistols”) represents an especially serious public safety hazard, and that even if arguendo, the Second Amendment protects an individual right, it would not extend to pistols, which the District of Columbia characterizes as “uniquely dangerous weapons” that present “unique dangers to innocent persons.”3 This paper examines what was likely the Framer’s original public meaning of the Bill of Rights provision that protects “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,” with no apparent limitations concerning handguns. We do so by examining what the history of pistols in early America tells us about foreseeable technological developments. I. GUNS, ARMS, FIRE-ARMS, PISTOLS: SOME DEFINITIONS A few definitions are appropriate because there have been a few subtle changes in the meaning of some of the terms over the last two centuries. “Gun” had a more restricted meaning in the eighteenth century than it does today, referring in some contexts to privately owned cannon,4 but most often to what today we call long guns: 1.

I. Ok, Now That We've Forced All of Our Anti-Gun Friends to Concede the Fact
I. Ok, now that we’ve forced all of our anti-gun friends to concede the fact that gun rights apply to individuals, let’s move on to the other big question about the Second Amendment: did the founders intend for the people to have any weapons (including military weapons), or did they just mean for us to have muskets? A. This may sound like a silly false dichotomy, but several news pundits and celebrities have actually claimed that the Second Amendment is for muskets, and several others who realize how stupid that sounds still say the same thing another way by claiming that the founders never imagined something as powerful as an AR-15. 1. Examples of people saying this a) Msnbc (1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG-xPA9reHs B. This is the claim gun control activists make when they accept (begrudgingly or otherwise) that the Constitution guarantees individual gun ownership. C. I have several points to make about this perception of the Second Amendment. D. First of all, The founders were not stupid. This perception assumes that our founding fathers had no sense of history and no imagination whatsoever. They obviously knew that weapons in the future would be more lethal than weapons of their time. It doesn’t matter whether they specifically imagined an AR-15. They chose their words very carefully. They intended for the right to be open ended. If they wanted us to only have muskets, they would have said, “the right of the people to keep and bear muskets, shall not be infringed.” E. -

Christopher Miner Spencer Collection
Christopher Miner Spencer Collection Finding Aid Windsor Historical Society 96 Palisado Avenue, Windsor, CT 06095 Creator: Christopher Miner Spencer, Vesta Spencer Taylor, and others Dates: 1834, 1854 --1918, 1953 Extent: 1 linear foot (2 DC) Accession #: 1922.4, 1953.12, 1991.1 Biographical Note Christopher Miner Spencer was born in Manchester, CT on June 20, 1833. He was recognized as an inventive genius, conceiving and patenting more efficient metal products and machinery in the formative early years of American manufacturing. He acquired a total of 42 patents in his lifetime, as well as building a steam-powered buggy in 1862 and taking up aviation only a few years before his death. He lived in Windsor, CT for many years with his wife Georgette Taylor Spencer, sons Percival H., Roger M., and daughter Vesta (Mrs. Charles Taylor). He died January 14, 1922 in Windsor, CT. At age 14, he apprenticed at the Cheney Brothers’ silk manufacturing company in Manchester, CT and gained skill as a machinist. He worked in a variety of machinery shops as a young man, and began to develop experimental and innovative machinery in his spare time. He received his first patent for an automatic silk-winding machine, and in 1860 another for his concept of a breech-loading repeating firearm. The Spencer Repeating Rifle Company was incorporated in 1862 in order to produce the firearm for the Union Army’s use during the Civil War. The rifle and its cartridges were superior to the traditional muzzle-loading firearms. Spencer had a succession of inventions that he patented and joined with others to manufacture. -
