Line 1: − '''Guns''' are tools generally designed for firing bullets in a controlled manner. They have traditionally been used for two purposes: firing bullets at people, and threatening to fire bullets at people. Thus, a gun is considered a [[weapon]], though technically, the bullet is the weapon, unless the gun itself is used as a club, or as a spear if it has a [[bayonet]] attached.+ − There are many types of guns. Some guns fire small bullets. Some guns fire big bullets. Some guns fire ''very'' big bullets; these are generally called [[cannon]]s. Some guns fire a bunch of small bullets all at once; these are generally considered [[shotgun]]s. Some guns fire very fast, requiring only a single pull of the trigger; these are generally considered [[machine gun]]s. Some guns fire very slowly, requiring a full barrel cleaning and reloading before firing again. Most [[handgun]]s are semi-automatic, meaning that they fire a single round with a single pull of the trigger, and require reloading only after its built-in supply is depleted.+ − + − [[Science fiction]], such as [[Star Trek]], has postulated many different types of energy weapons. These are guns that fire beams, waves, or packets of energy. Some energy guns can be set to stun, not to wound or kill. A real-life applications of this is the [[taser]].+ − + − The cultural issues surrounding guns are many and widely debated. [[Conservative]]s generally prefer to reserve for the [[individualism|individual]] [[the right to self-defense]] through the use of guns. [[Liberal]]s generally prefer to delegate this [[right]] to various socialized guards and [[peacekeeper]]s, such as the [[city]] [[police]]. − − Law-abiding citizens carrying guns are statistically an effective deterrant and defense against lawless or criminal individuals. This has certainly been shown in the USA, which had 11,350 murders by shooting in 2005<ref>http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html</ref>, compared with 50 in 2005/06 in the UK, which restricts the possession of handguns.<ref>http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs07/hosb0207.pdf</ref> [[Second Amendment|Guns are also a defense against a tyrannical government.]] Theoretically, if a person has the power to take the life of another, other people will not perpetrate criminal offenses against them. In practice, few existing civilian militias are strong enough to withstand a civil lockdown by a full army. − − ==See also== − [[Gun Control]]

Gun
The staple food source for everyone hailing from memphis, alabama or any other red neck hick town. The gun was primarily invented by John J Gaybell and was invented to cure his intolerable issues with his black next door neighbour (crooks) giving him grief.
John J Gaybell was also acredited to the invention of such household items as the banjo, cotton and slavery. In his spare time he also created the ulti-dild (the answer to his ever oppressive loneliness).
Nowadays gun have been used for robberies, assault and the killings of innocent civilians. In the first week of the Iraq skirmish half of all american forces were wiped out due to friendly fire and the other half were merciliessly slapped up by the taliban. Donald Rumswfield declared " I don't what happened either we all died and won, none of us died but we lost or some of us died and the rest had a party.
The future for the gun is to create a friendly-fire proof weapon designed for daft yanks who use them for scracthing there caveman like humps.
