Gun Safety: the practice of using safe handling and storage procedures to prevent accidents involving firearms. Gun Control: a set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. Muzzleloader: a gun that is loaded from the muzzle, or front end, of the barrel, as opposed to a modern firearm which is loaded from the breech, or rear end, of the barrel.
Concepts:
The world's first gun was created in China in the 1200's and was called the 'Fire Lances'. There are over 500 million guns in the world, enough for 1 in every 7 people. In 2007, the United States Military implemented a new gun made entirely out of plastic called the M4.
