Download or read book Ghost Guns written by Mark A. Tallman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With thorough analysis and balanced reporting, Ghost Guns: Hobbyists, Hackers, and the Homemade Weapons Revolution is an essential resource for readers seeking to understand the rise of homemade firearms and future options for managing them. For more than a century, strict gun control was possible because firearms were produced in centralized industrial factories. Today, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, combining old and new technologies, threatens to upend this arrangement. An increasing number of hobbyists, "makers," technology provocateurs, and sophisticated criminals are proving that you don't need a factory to make guns anymore. The security challenges of this transformation are increasingly apparent, but the technologies behind it hold tremendous potential, and while ignoring the security implications would entail risks, the costs of new policies also must be evaluated. "Do-it-yourself," or DIY, weapons will bring significant ramifications for First and Second Amendment law, international and homeland security, crime control, technology, privacy, innovation, and the character of open source culture itself. How can a liberal society adjust to technologies that make it easier to produce weapons and contraband? Informative and thought-provoking, Ghost Guns: Hobbyists, Hackers, and the Homemade Weapons Revolution carefully analyzes the technical, legal, social, political, and criminological trends behind this challenging new area of illicit weapons activity.

Download or read book DIY Makeshift Weapons for Survival written by Ronald Williams and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocks. Clubs. Spears. Bows and arrows. Catapults. Muskets. Pistols. Shotguns. Automatic rifles. Rocket launchers. Intercontinental missiles. Nuclear weapons. What do all of these things have in common? They are all weapons that man has created over the centuries for the simple purpose of defense (or for hunting, with some weapons). It's almost as if creating weapons has been just as big a priority for mankind as building shelter, foraging for food, or finding clean water. Of course, there's good reason why. Our natural instinct as human beings is to survive, and one of the top concerns in both our ordinary day-to-day lives and in a true life-or-death survival situation is security. Not only do we strive to protect ourselves, we will also do anything we possibly can to keep our loved ones safe and our homes and property secured as well. Today, we take modern technology largely for granted and weapons are definitely no exception. But let me ask you something: if you found yourself in a wilderness survival or in a large scale national disaster scenario without any modern weapons, what would you do? No guns. No knives. No machetes. No fancy crossbows or compound bows. Just your bare hands and the materials that are either in your home and/or that nature has provided for you. In this kind of a situation, you would have to settle for weapons that are more primitive but that are still effective at hunting game and defending yourself and your family from attacks from other people with ill intentions. If these weapons worked for our ancestors hundreds of years ago, they will continue to work for you today. A post-disaster world will be a dangerous place. Paper money may become worthless, stores and restaurants will be looted, there may be martial law by the military and law enforcement, streets will become shut down, and once ordinary people will become hungry and desperate and start raiding other people's homes for food and supplies. You cannot allow yourself or your family to become a victim in this scenario. You have to learn how to fight and to have the weapons to give you an advantage in a life-or-death situation. Hopefully you'll already have tools such as guns with you, but if you don't and need to make your own primitive weapons instead, the information in this book will undoubtedly come in handy. In this book, we are going to cover a series of different DIY weapons that you can either make in your home or in the wilderness with a detailed step-by-step process for each one. The specific weapons that we will cover include the following:* Club* Homemade Pepper Spray * Homemade Stun Gun* Long Bow* Paracord Monkey Fist* Sling Shot* Spear (Fire Hardened)* Spear (Knife)* Spear (Pronged)By the end of reading this book, you will know how to build each of these weapons and the only thing left for you to at that point will be to, well, build them!Hopefully you never find yourself in a situation where you'll have to use one of these weapons to defend yourself or your family. Nonetheless, the circumstances that would force you to do so are largely out of your control. You never know when disaster could strike and looters could come knocking on your door. This is why it's always better to be prepared, and the knowledge and ability to construct these weapons (and training yourself in the use of them) could be what saves your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Download or read book Bound for Shady Grove written by Steven Harvey and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bound for Shady Grove, essayist Steven Harvey celebrates the spirit of the music of his adopted home in the southern Appalachian mountains. There, at the wellspring of mountain music, he took up his guitar and assumed the journey that culminated in this book. Harvey's essays measure out in words the four seasons of a life in music. Springtime pieces describe playing music in the log house of friends born and raised in the mountains or entering a banjo contest and losing with style. There are essays about fiddles and the devil, homemade instruments and homemade weapons, and a trip to England to trace mountain songs back to their elusive sources. As the book progresses into winter, the mood darkens, with pieces exploring the connection between music and resentment, loss, and death. Descriptions of music, hills, and people blend into a rich harmony as Harvey explores where music has taken him--where, in fact, music can take any of us.

Download or read book Demobilizing Irregular Forces written by Eric Y. Shibuya and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Afghanistan and Sierra Leone to East Timor, the aftermath of any armed conflict presents a complex set of challenges. Whatever political agreements may have been reached, conflicts are often at risk of reigniting, and the fates of their former participants remain uncertain. Armed groups may not be easily dissuaded from pursuing belligerent activities which they see as both profitable and understandable behaviour. In the face of these difficulties, the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) attempts to convince combatants to relinquish their weapons and return to civilian life. It is a crucial first step towards lasting peace. Demobilizing Militias is the first comprehensive introduction to DDR in the contemporary world. Examining regions as varied as Africa, Asia and Central America, it guides readers through the different stages of the DDR process as well as assessing competing perspectives surrounding its implementation. Attentive to the problems faced by practitioners, Eric Shibuya argues against a 'one size fits all' approach, emphasizing the importance of social and psychological contexts in fostering the trust that is necessary for DDR to succeed. Accessible and incisive, it will be an ideal resource for students of politics, security and conflict studies, as well as anyone interested in the dynamics of peacebuilding today.
