Gun laws vary from state to state.  Although each state has different laws which pertain to buying a gun, there are few gun laws that all states generally follow. In most states there is a minimum age in which a person can legally purchase a gun. Lastly, all states require a gun license prior to the purchase of a gun. All states also require a background check and a clean legal record. Common gun laws also include: requiring a hunting certificate when buying a gun, such as a rifle; purchasing proper carrying cases, and properly storing the guns when the gun is not being used.

Gun laws which vary by state are not federal laws and are there for enforced and regulated by state police and state governments.  Within state laws, there are also specific laws which pertain to certain gun use; for example hunting laws.

Guns are weapons which can be used to gain compliance, inflict harm of cause the death of another. Guns may also be used in hunting and for other recreational purposes, such as target shooting. Replica guns may be used for recreational purposes as well, such as airguns which are replicas and meant to simulate the real weapon.

 

 

Guns are made of metal and usually coated in metals which will not be subject to rust or corrosion. The inside of the gun may be made from various materials each of which is strong and resistant to rust.

 

 

The type of  gun will dictate the type of ammunition used, but in most cases, the bullets are made of metal. The shape and style of the bullet, as well as the power of the gun, can determine the extent of injuries caused by the gun.

 

 

Semi automatic guns and automatic guns, both reload automatically. The shooter simply needs to pull the trigger, which initiates the reloading of the ammunition. A semi-automatic gun requires the user to continuously pull the trigger, while automatic guns require the shooter to simply hold the trigger down which initiates the ammunition to be continuously loaded and fired. 
Handguns require the shooter to pull the trigger each time they wish to fire the weapon and they also require the shooter to reload the weapon.

 

 

Replica guns are used for recreational purposes, as are BB guns. These guns may also be used for training for law enforcement agencies and the military. Replicas used in training, are meant to simulate the real weapon, in weight and in firing method.
