Why the 2nd Amendment is so important and vital to our freedom
The 2nd Amendment structures part of the Bill of Rights of the United States of America. This particular amendment guards the right to keep and bear arms which means that the people has the right to bear firearms and guns for their defense, their own state, or the United States, and of course to hunt game. It forbids any law to be passed with the aim of disarming the people unless a crime has been committed, or they pose a real danger to the public. Until this day, the 2nd Amendment still stands despite the censorship of its detractors and seems that it will be staying for good under the protection of the Bill of Rights.

When it was first drafted, the idea is to have a universal militia during the 1790’s because it is very expensive for the government to bring guns to all of the members of the militia. They say that this right originated from the English courts where the king requires his subjects to bear firearms and guns for military duty. During that time, they don’t have a regular army and police force so certain men had to keep watch and ward at night to keep the peace in the communities, hence the need to keep an assault rifle and firearms in the house of certain men. These men are tasked to ward off thieves and to capture and confront suspicious persons.

The only difference is, the 2nd Amendment does not discriminate against social classes unlike with the English where only the wealthy are able to bear firearms. It should also be emphasized that in arming the militia with guns, which is a natural defense of any free country against invasions, or any uprising that will jeopardize the peace and democracy in a country, the right against usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers within or outside the country can be impede and eventually discouraged. Some historians and philosophers say and believe that injustice in a country will be exerted unless forcibly resisted. Having the right to bear firearms gives the ammunition to make sure that injustice does not happen – figuratively and literally speaking.

Why The Russian AK47 Is The Most Utilized Assault Rifle In The World
The AK 47 assault weapon is available in large quantities due to the Russian government policy of mass production of arms during the Cold War period from 1946 to 1989.  The Russians had wanted to rule the world through military might and power to force communist tyranny on the countries and peoples that opposed opposed communist.  To do this they had to build up their military to a point of overwhelming superiority, not only in nuclear weapons, but also in warships, airplanes, tanks and ground troops.  The main and most important weapon for the individual of the ground forces would of course be the Russian AK47 assault weapon.  It was estimated at the peak of the Cold War build up that the Soviet strength remained between 2.8 million to 5.3 million men and of course each one would have to have an AK47 available to them. So many are still in service today due to the incredible simplicity, effectiveness and ruggedness of the weapon.
•    The low production and materials costs of the Russian AK47 assault rifle meant that the Soviet Union could produce and supply friendly states instead of sending surplus munitions. The result of this is that the Cold War saw the mass exportation, sometimes free of charge, of AK-47's by the Russian government and Communist China to pro-communist countries and armies such as the Nicaraguan Sandinista's and the Vietcong. The AK 47 design was spread to over 55 national armies and dozens of para-military groups.

•    The Chinese government started its own mass production of the Russian AK47 assault rifle and as a result also lowered the costs substantially that many people from around the world started buying the cheaper Chinese versions.  The World Bank estimates that out of the 500 million total firearms available worldwide, 100 million are of the Kalashnikov family, and 75 million of which are AK-47s.
•    We have mentioned the incredible simplicity, effectiveness and ruggedness of the Russian AK47 assault weapon in our first point, so let us explore this in further detail.   The AK47 is an excellent assault weapon in terms of the ease and simplicity of use. It is amazing how fast one can learn to use it as an lethal weapon, even from the simple villager all the way up to the most seasoned veteran soldier. The maintenance that is required is rudimentary and not as time demanding as the AK47’s counterparts.  It has a proven service record in many types of combat theaters of operation, from the deserts of the Middle East to the mountains of Afghanistan (used by both Soviet Union soldiers and Afghan rebels) to the jungles of Vietnam and the arctic cold of Siberia.
•    Many gangsters started to adopt the Russian AK47 assault weapon as their weapon of choice... such as in Mexico. The AK-47 assault weapon is known as "Cuerno de Chivo" (literally "goat's horn) and is often associated with drug cartels and the local mafia.  The AK 47 has also become an icon to many people around the world.   It is included in the flag of Mozambique and its coat of arms, which acknowledges that the country's leaders gained power in by using the AK-47 with such effectiveness.

It is easy to see why the AK47 has become the most used assault weapon in the world by the overwhelming production, distribution, low cost, availability and overall effectiveness in many different countries.

M16

Most of us have often come across the word M16. What exactly is this? M16 officially a rifle in the military practice is meant for AR-15 rifle. This is a lightweight 5.56mm, air cooled, gas operated, and magazine fed assault rifle with a rotating bolt. This rifle is crafted of steel, aluminum, composite plastics and polymer elements. The preliminary versions of M16 were used by US Marine Corps and Army. This was the first M16 that was used operationally. This variant had triangular hand guards, three pronged flash suppressor and no forward assist. The bolt carriers that were used were also chrome plated and slick sided thus lacking forward assist notches. Later the chrome plates were replaced with parkerized carriers without making any changes in the center portion of the bolt carrier. The main difficulty with M16 was deficiency of forward assist. To overcome this XM16E1 was developed by US army. This was almost similar to M16 with slight variations like forward assist and related notches in the bolt carrier. The production of this weapon was finalized in 1967 but an difficulty cropped up that highlighted the three pronged flash suppressor which got caught to twigs and leaves at the time of operation. Eventually this was replaced with a closed bird cage flash suppressor and several other changes were made. Cleaning kits along with barrels consisting of chrome plate chambers and completely lined bores were used. These above mentioned changes have reduced the malfunctions in the weapon. A rib was also built on one side of the XM16E1 receiver to prevent accidental pressing of magazine release button while trying to close the ejection port cover. This rib was extended while producing M16A1 along with certain modifications like the bolt cam pin and the hole it rides in the bolt were tapered to prevent the bolt for getting topsy-turvy thus failing to function. Even though the use of M16A1 is narrowed in US, it is still one of the standard weapons in use across the globe. The inefficiency of XM16E1 and M16A1 during war with Vietnam has forced the US Marine corps to look for new weapons. This has lead to the development of M16A2. This is a more extensive weapon with new rifling, thick barrel and ability to withstand fire without getting over heated. An additional adjustable rear sight was added to this weapon enabling the rear sight to be dialed for specific range settings between 300 to 800 meters or make use of its ballistic characteristic that allows windage adjustments without the need of any tool or cartridge. Slight modifications were also made in the flash suppressor, hand guard, pistol grip and butt-stock. All in all M16A2 along with its new and improved features added further weight and complexity to the M16 series of weapons. Despite original criticism, this rifle was able to comply with NATO standards and at the same time replace the traditional Vietnam era of weapons.
