History of Gun Manufacturing in America

Luke 11:21 – When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

Exodus 22:2-3 – If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.   (Read More…)

Luke 22:36 – Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

The industry as we know it today began with gun making outfits in the 1700s

Its development into an industrial system with the invention of the ‘mighty gun’ by inventor Eli Whitney. Whitney’s idea of interchangeable parts revolutionized production and facilitated the proliferation of small guns in America. Furthermore, his factory model was based on internal subdivisions and divisions which became known as ‘The American System’. This system allowed for faster production of firearms and eventually led to various manufacturers setting up shop in Springfield Armory, Massachusetts. These manufacturers took advantage of this new production system to craft better guns at lower cost and thus further expand their business across America.

The oldest gun makers in the US are those that were established in the 1800s.

• Colt Manufacturing Company
• Remington Arms Company
• Smith & Wesson

In 1852, Smith & Wesson sent out their first pistols to market and they quickly became profitable with their patented designs.

1 Timothy 5:8 – But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Eliphalet Remington II was another major player in the American gun industry
creating some of the most iconic rifles ever produced including the M4 rifle. At this time many other manufacturers were also making guns for hunters and soldiers alike, such as Marlin Firearms Company who made lever action repeating rifles popular among cowboys. In modern times there are still many famous gun manufacturers based in United States who produce a wide range of firearms from handguns to semi-automatic weapons for civilian use; however there has been an increase in foreign manufactured guns being imported into America due to looser restrictions on imports than domestic production of firearms. Regardless, American companies have been producing some of the best quality guns for centuries now with well known brands like Smith & Wesson remaining amongst one of the most popular choices for shooters across America today.

Proverbs 25:26 – A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

Samuel Colt founded the Colt Arms Company
His firearms production revolutionized the American arms industry and set a precedent for what is known today as “American guns”. The popularity of gun ownership started to rise in early America and with it, the demand for firearms increased significantly. This led to a steady influx of manufacturers into the market producing cheaper options for consumers looking for something more affordable. In fact, by 1850 there were no less than fifty different companies producing firearms across the United States alone! Unfortunately, production without assurance meant that many of these weapons were prone to malfunctioning or failing during use which could be extremely dangerous. This lack of quality control soon lead to stricter regulations being enforced on all gun manufacturers with many eventually folding due to inability to meet standards set by law enforcement bodies such as ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms). Nevertheless, this boom in firearm production helped solidify what has now become known as an integral part of American culture: Gun Culture. Today companies like Ruger and Remington are some of the largest producers in America supplying millions upon millions of firearms each year ensuring that Americans can continue their long held tradition of shooting sports safely and responsibly.

Psalms 144:1 – (A Psalm of David.) Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

In the early 1800s, Oliver Winchester founded a Winchester Repeating Arms Co.
That would go on to become one of the most influential and important companies in modern gun culture. His company, Winchester Repeating Arms Co., revolutionized the American gun industry by introducing repeating rifles and shotguns into the civilian market. In 1871, a group known as the National Rifle Association was formed as an advocate for responsible gun ownership and use and this organization has helped shape modern day gun culture including its safety regulations. In addition to domestic manufacturers like Winchester, Ruger, Remington etc., international firearms such as Glock have also made their way onto American consumers shelves satisfying demands for handguns from both commercial markets and civilians alike.

The US arms industry is one of the largest in the world and includes major arms manufacturers such as:

• Glock
• Smith & Wesson
• and Ruger

The proliferation of guns has been met with a variety of attempts to regulate their sale and use. Gun shows are a popular venue for gun enthusiasts to buy multiple firearms at once without having to go through background checks. Furthermore, National Rifle Association (NRA) sponsored trigger locks have become commonplace in many states as a means to deter theft or unintentional shootings. However, these measures have often been thwarted by manufacturers who are not held liable for the misuse of their products; rather they continue to produce weapons that can easily be modified or used in dangerous ways. Smith & Wesson is one such manufacturer that has had great success producing handguns for both civilian and military markets over the past century or so. Their various models offer customers a range of calibers tailored specifically for hunting, target shooting and home defense purposes respectively; something which no other gun manufacturer can boast about with such reliability and accuracy.

Romans 12:19 – Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

The history of gun manufacturing in America is deeply intertwined with the growth and development of the country itself.

From the very beginning, gun manufacturers have been emboldened by America’s strong conservative reliance on firearms as a means of protection and recreation. The industry stalwarts, Smith & Wesson are widely recognized as one of the oldest American gun makers; having pioneered a new tactical culture in firearms production which revolutionized modern-day rifle design and selling. Their move to switch from single shot to double barrel rifles dramatically increased their market share from 15% to 50%. The intricate language used within their products reflects this vast knowledge base which has enabled Smith & Wesson to remain industry stalwarts for over 150 years. With an ever-growing demand for tactical weapons, gun manufacturers such as Smith & Wesson have been able to stay competitive within a highly complex market by continuously introducing new models each year which reflect changing trends in firearm design and functionality.

All new shooters should understand the importance of:

• secure firearms storage
• proper gun handling
• and following all gun safety rules.

It is also important for a beginner to be aware of the different types of guns, how they function, and the basics on loading and unloading them. A good way to learn these fundamentals is by engaging with an experienced gun enthusiast or taking a firearms class. This will help ensure that you are comfortable with your firearm before you get onto the firing line. Additionally, it’s important to observe all handling rules while at a shooting range – keep your firearm pointed downrange at all times and make sure that no one gets in front of you while loading or unloading your guns.

Romans 13:4 – For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Basic gun safety is paramount, as the slightest mistake can lead to a lethal weapon in the wrong hands. Liberty Safe recommends that parents teach their kids and children how to safely handle a firearm. Much instruction should be given, along with many studies into why firearm safety is important. Always remember that guns are not toys and should only be handled by those who know what they’re doing. Even when you think you know it all, there’s always something new to learn in order to make sure you use your weapon safely and effectively.

Psalms 82:4 – Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

When it comes to pistol gun training, there are a few tips beginners should keep in mind.

• Make sure you use a protective gun case for storage and use a trigger lock or other safety device on the firearm when not in use.
• Improper storage of guns can lead to injury, property damage or even death so ensure you store your firearm in a locked container that is inaccessible to children and unauthorized users.
• Additionally, consider using cable locks when travelling with your weapon as they provide an additional level of security from popular media or theft.

As a beginner, it is important to understand the basics of safe and effective pistol gun training. First, always treat a firearm as though it is loaded, even if it isn’t. Second, be aware of your trigger finger placement when handling the gun as accidental discharge can occur if placed incorrectly on the trigger. Third, always practice proper safety protocols such as keeping your barrel pointed in a safe direction away from someone or something you don’t want to shoot.

When shooting, keep the gun angled downrange, away from your body and other shooters.
As a beginner pistol shooter, you should always be sure to only have one cartridge in the chamber at a time. This means that you must take the time to load and unload your pistol properly each time you use it. To do this, turn the cylinder or slide of your pistol so that no cartridges are visible before loading and unloading. After loading, take extra care to make sure that there is no round in the chamber before engaging with your trigger as an accidental discharge can be fatal. Remember to practice safe gun handling skills and always know where your muzzle is pointing at all times!

Mark 3:27 – No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

For beginners, one of the most important tips for safe and effective pistol gun training is to start with a dynamic pistol.
Ensure that you have a good grip on the firearm and that your trigger finger is placed along the frame until ready to fire. You should always make sure your muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, away from any people or property, as it can cause personal injury or property damage if fired in an unsafe direction. When loading and unloading your gun, keep your finger off of the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Once you are familiar with these basics of firearm safety, practice will help you become more comfortable using your weapon. Make sure to take note of how much recoil there is when firing so that it becomes easier to control during firing sessions.

Dry firing is a great way to get started with handgun accuracy and fire sees shooters become more confident with firearm handling skills.
Target practice is also important, especially when using rimfire guns, as the lower recoil allows for better control and accuracy. Make sure to always keep the chamber empty when not in use and ensure that all safety protocols are followed at all times. Additionally, repetitive action of proper gun handling is important to understand the fundamentals of firearm operation; this includes trigger control and ammunition selection. All of these safe pistol gun training tips will help beginners become more comfortable with their firearms and give them an understanding on how to properly handle them in different scenarios.

Exodus 22:1-31 – If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.   (Read More…)

Dry fire practice is a great place to start as it allows new shooters to become familiar with the fundamentals of the weapon and how it works.
It also helps develop trigger control and weapon manipulation skills without the risks of firing live ammunition. When ready, head to a gun range or shooting range for more hands-on experience and live fire practice under professional supervision. Once there, always follow basic rules for maximum safety such as keeping your firearm unloaded until you are at your firing station, never pointing it at anything you do not intend to shoot, keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, being aware of your target and what is beyond it, and always following all of the range officers’ commands.

Numbers 31:3 – And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with the safety catch, firing mechanism, and any other features of your gun before you begin. It is important to practice safe storage of firearms in homes regardless of whether or not they are in use. It is important to keep guns secured and unloaded when not in use. Keep guns locked up and out of reach from children and unauthorized adults. Also make sure ammunition is stored separately from guns and out of reach as well.

Pistol marksmanship and gun safety are invaluable skills for any beginner, and mastering the fundamentals of each provides a solid foundation. To get started, it’s important to obtain a pistol license in accordance with your local laws. After that, the best way to begin is by practicing at home or enrolling in a class.

Romans 12:18 – If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
