Using weapons to defend homes, cities, and countries has been a tradition that stretches back through all of human history. with the advent of weapons such as guns, dynamite, automatic weapons, and weapons of mass destruction, the world has been irrevocably changed. the simple weapons of the past were used for one-on-one encounters, but modern inventions have enabled people to strike at thousands--even millions--from the comfort of a war room, an airplane, even a telephone.
