Hello everyone!
I will be very wide in this post since it is the first one. So let's begin with an introduction of this new topic: weapons among the United States. When, where, why, and how they have been introduced in the country.
According to Bob Smith (Senator), the first firearms probably came from Europe in 1607. They have been brought in America by explorers for "their protection, for hunting and to demonstrate techno-superiority" according to the article "The First Gun in America" (https://www.npr.org/2013/04/06/176132730/the-first-gun-in-america).
In fact, we can say that firearms have for main purposes to protect and to hunt. Without forget that they are widely used in wars, robberies, and other violent attacks. They also generate a considerable economy among the U.S with more than $51 billion in 2016 ("Firearms Industry Economic Impact Rises 168% since 2008" (https://www.nssf.org/firearms-industry-economic-impact-rises-168-since-2008-2-2/).
