...Step 1: Determine if the research was a sample survey, a randomized experiment an observational study, a combination, or based on anecdotes. It was an observational study, although the author mentions that they randomly picked study subjects, they still manipulated the distance in which they were doing their study on. It qualifies as an observational study because it was a case-control study in which people with the ownership of weapons were closely observed and a proxy for their victim was interviewed. Step 2: Consider the Seven Critical Components in Chapter 2 (pp. 18-19) to familiarize yourself with the details of the research. As in Case Study 6.5 based on the original report, the seven questions can all be answered. The research was supported by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The source information was from the Departments of Internal Medicine (A.L.K., J.G.B., B.B.H.), Preventive Medicine (A.L.K.), Biostatistics and Epidemiology (A.L.K., G.S.), and Pathology (J.T.F), University of Tennessee, Memphis; the Departments of Pediatrics (F.P.R.), Epidemiology (F.P.R.), and Pathology (D.T.R), University of Washington, Seattle; Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center, Seattle (F.P.R., J.P.); and the Departments of Biology (N.B.R., A.B.L.) and Epidemiology and Biostatistics (N.B.R.) and the Center for Adolescent Health (N.B.R.), Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland.

...might have when discussing the presence of 3D printed guns. 3D printing is a fairly new technology that is developing a new generation of both creativity and unease for many in North America and around the world. The printing technique allows users to create anything that comes to imagination and bring it into the three-dimensional world. The uses of 3D printers have been tested by both the professionals and the public due to its user-friendliness and accessibility. Both guns and gun parts have been one of the successful test subjects in the 3D printing market. Consequently, the new gun production method can lead to threats towards multiple groups of people, including the police,...

...amendment gives people the right to use the weapon for their self-defense in homes. Does the gun really protect the life of a person? There are lots of home and public shooting happening in these days. The weapons can be misused by illegal users and mentally unstable individuals. This means that instead of protection, they endanger the life of people. So when considering the increased number of shooting, government should come up with a new law to ban weapons to prevent shootings in homes and in public places. People should have a safety feeling at home. But that safety feeling is not there when there is a gun at home. It can be misused by a younger person who is not familiar with the weapon. Children do not know how dangerous guns are and they may shoot at somebody accidentally. Teenagers can experiment on it and may end up doing lethal mistakes. Guns are widely being used these days during fight, to kill the enemies in an emotional outburst. For example, there was a case brought to North Broward Medical Centre where a man shot his ex-wife and her father. They called 911 and got help from police officers for their safety. They had to undergo major abdominal and chest surgeries and got hospitalized for many days. The shooter bought the gun legally and he had it for personal safety. But when the situation got changed in his family life, he tried to kill others. So if there was no gun available in situations many of the lives will be saved. Weapons are great threat to the...

...mass shootings, random crimes, and home invasions which has given the American people a need for protection through firearms. Each state has different laws regarding carrying a concealed weapon; however California has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Due to the legal system constantly changing laws regarding owning and carrying a gun, many California citizens are currently seeking the purchase of a handgun for concealed carry purposes. The Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9mm or M&P .40 S&W is on the list of one of the top 20 handguns owned by concealed carry owners in America. The following information will review specifics regarding this firearm, including background, industry, product of service, the SWOT analysis of the organization and offering, the competitive analysis, the target market, the needs that cause this population to buy, and a positioning statement. Since the mid-1800s Smith and Wesson remains a frontrunner in the ever growing firearms industry. The industry has been going through turbulent times, due to the mass shootings that have occurred. Although the firearms industry has received many black eyes, firearm companies are still pulling in over eleven billion dollars in the United States alone. Gun manufacturers have doubled their production numbers from a decade ago. Most of these sales have...

...Do you think there should be guns in the classroom? There is an ongoing debate whether or not teachers should be given guns to use in case there should be an emergency. This issue has been sparked back to life because of how common school shootings have become in America. Teachers shouldn’t have guns in the classroom because it will make students feel unsafe and make the dangerous weapons more accessible. Firstly, guns in the classroom will make students feel threatened in their learning environment. Even the mere thought of a fatal weapon so close is sure to make anyone feel uneasy. Back when schools still used corporal punishment to enforce their rules and discipline the students the students feared going to school. Therefore, the students feared their own education. Behind closed doors you never know how the teacher is going to use the gun. They could be using it for its intended use, protection, or for their own benefit. Guns shouldn’t be in the school to begin with so what difference does it make if the teachers are the ones wielding them....

...New York’s Influence on the Federal Gun Law Since the tragic events in Aurora, Colorado and more recently Newtown Connecticut the talks of stricter gun laws has become a major controversy and political topic. According to an Editorial from the New York Times, New York Leads on Gun Control Editorial, the state of New York has created a bill that will further make guns harder to obtain and own. The bill expands the ban of assault rifles to also include semiautomatic weapons with detachable magazines. In addition the bill will decrease magazine clips to 7 rounds instead of 10 rounds and would require gun licenses to be renewed every 5 years. With these restrictions the bill requires all dealer to provide background checks and it also creates a data base for gun permit and a registry for ammunition sales. The most controversial part of the bill is it would allow a medical professional to declare that someone is harm to themselves of others leading to a seizer of their guns. While this part of the law is still being discussed if it is approved this part of the bill could go against doctor-patient confidentiality. If the federal government used New York‘s bill as a model they can decrease gun involved accidents or massacres by limiting the amount of ammo, and providing a way to track gun sales and permits. In both the Newtown and Aurora massacres automatic weapons were used and the killers stockpiled ammunition. In the New York gun law it will decrease the amount of rounds...

...including inside dorms and classrooms. The bill has failed to pass on 55 separate occasions in 29 different states. Recently, however, there has been a push to legalize the concealed carrying of handguns on college campuses. If this law passed, it would only increase the risk of a shooting on campus rather than hinder it. According to the list on Wikipedia, since 2000 there have been approximately 149 school shootings in the United States alone. The majority of these aggravated rampages resulted only in injuries, many still resulted in loss of life. While the vast majority of these shootings occur in grade schools, many still occur on college campuses. While campus shooting may be far and few between, is one not enough to show that more guns is not the solution to the problem? This may be little more than a statistic to...

...“Protection At All Times” My defense of our Second Amendment Micah Satchwell Many people view guns as a curse not a blessing. Recently people have abused them and caused large media attraction. Also they have also become a large contributer to our economy. The recent sales have shot up tremendously because of the talk of stricter gun laws. These are some of the reasons I am choosing to defend our Second Amendment. First I think every family should have the right to have in their home a firearm. If you’re going to use it for self defense than there shouldn’t be an issue purchasing one and owning it legally for defending your home and family. But safety should be the number one priority in owning a firearm. Steps such as using trigger locks, teaching children not to touch and treating every firearm as if it is loaded are the responsibilities of owning a firearm. Also a criminal will have to second guess whether or not a home is protected by an armed responsible homeowner. The laws in place require a thorough background check to purchase a firearm legally. These include a trip to your local Federal Firearms dealer, filling out the proper forms and a call into the FBI. This division is called NICS (National Instant Check Systems). If you have committed any felony or misdeamenor crime of domestic violence are some of the preventions in getting a firearm. Also renouncing your US citizenship will keep you from passing the background check. I believe these are sufficient...

...In the same way that detractors of personal firearm possession see their side as controlling irresponsible gun possession by untrained and immature users, the supporters of allowing for personal firearms see their side as controlling irresponsible possession of guns by those whose only use for them is to break more laws. Each of the groups recruits local support in the form of politicians, successful alum or famous athletes or actors to support their stance on the issue. Supporters of gun control and not allowing personal possession of a firearm cite the violence and street justice that laws allowing will bring, whereas supporters for personal possession of a firearm contend that this will do just the opposite and reduce crime and violence. Those against allowing personal firearm possession also contend that this will lead to more firearms on the streets, in the wrong hands, more crime at gunpoint and, ultimately more deaths as a result of the allowance of them. On the other hand, supporters for allowing personal firearms continually point out that criminals get firearms at will right now against the laws, are often better equipped than police themselves and would be more deterred to commit crimes if they knew their average American citizen might legally possess a weapon that can be used against them. While it’s true that gun laws now seem to keep the population of guns out of the average person’s hands, conversely it also...

...of past experiences with vulnerabilities in communication security along with present and future computer security experiences. The historical perspective demonstrates that misplaced confidence in the security of a system is worse than having no confidence at all in its security. Next, the essay describes four broad areas of computer misuse: (1) theft of computational resources, (2) disruption of computational services, (3) unauthorized disclosure of information in a computer, and (4) unauthorized modification of information in a computer. Classes of techniques whereby computer misuse results in the unauthorized disclosure and modification of information are then described and examples are provided. These classes are (1) human error, (2) user abuse of authority, (3) direct probing, (4) probing with malicious software, (5) direct penetration, and (6) subversion of security mechanism. The roles of Trojan horses, viruses, worms, bombs, and other kinds of malicious software are described and examples provided. In the past few decades, we have seen the implementation of myriads of computer systems of all sizes and their interconnection over computer networks. These systems handle and are required to protect credit data, justice information, computer vote tabulation, consumer billing, health data, insurance data, military and intelligence data, and computer and human communications, as well as countless other types of information. It is likely that readers of this essay have heard about...

...and upon receiving no response from his inquiry to Intel, on October 30 posted a message on the Internet. Word of the bug spread quickly on the Internet and then to the industry press. Because the bug was easy to replicate by an average user (there was a sequence of numbers one could enter into the OS calculator to show the error), Intel's statements that it was minor and "not even an erratum" were not accepted by many computer users. Ironically, the "Pentium flaw" incident, Intel's response to it, and the surrounding media coverage propelled Intel from being a technology supplier generally unknown to most computer users to a household name. Dovetailing with an uptick in the "Intel Inside" campaign, the episode is considered by some to have been a positive event for Intel, changing some of its business practices to be more end-user focused and generating substantial public awareness, while avoiding (for most users) a lasting negative impression. Intel did not handle the problem correctly at first. When Dr. Nicely informed Intel of the bug, they ignored the problem. Only after New York Times ran an article on the bug, did Intel change its position. To satisfy customers, Intel offered to replace every chip by putting in place a large and user support organization which resulted in a $475 million charge against Intel’s 1994 revenue....
