Virtually every crime gun in the United States starts off as a legal firearm. Unlike narcotics or other contraband criminal arms trafficking is widespread in regions of political turmoil, it is not limited to such areas, for example, in South Asia, an estimated 63 million guns have been trafficked into India and Pakistan.

While illegal guns often pass through multiple trafficking channels, the report confirms that corrupt gun dealers and gun shows present challenges to enforcement. Although gun dealers were involved in less than 10 percent of the investigations, they were associated with the largest total number of diverted firearms (over 40,000 guns) and the highest average number of guns per investigation (350). Gun shows had the second highest number of trafficked guns per investigation (more than 130) and were associated with over 26,000 diverted guns.

A firearm is any type of gun designed to be readily carried and used by an individual. The term is legally defined further in different countries (see Legal definitions).

Hunter-Best [27]

Cognitive dissonance is the uncomfortable tension that can arise when two or more beliefs are held at the same time is the circumstances would you be more likely to experience cognitive dissonance.

According to psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information and the mental stress that it causes. Relevant information can include, for instance, behaviors, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, and environmental circumstances. Cognitive dissonance frequently shows as psychological distress when people take a step that contradicts one or more of those. According to this theory, people will make every effort to adjust two behaviors or thoughts until they are psychologically consistent with one another. A person has discomfort when their beliefs clash with recently learned facts, and in order to feel better, they look for a way to resolve the conflict.  Cognitive dissonance, or mental discomfort, happens when two opposing ideas are kept in the mind at the same time. When the thoughts include ethical elements, this discomfort is referred to as moral dissonance. Most people think they are moral people. However, research shows that the majority of people also frequently engage in dishonest behaviors that they would prefer that no one else see or know about.

How did the native people and colonists exchange both knowledge and materials to make new medicines?
musickatia [10]

Explanation:

During that time period, medicine was made of plants.  As the world and it's native people continued to evolve, more and more about medicines were discovered.  The colonists (from civilized countries) and native people exchanged many ideas, knowledge, and materials as they crossed paths.  Some of these exchanges happened during the Age of Exploration.  For examples, European colonists discovered the Americas.  They also came across the Native Americans of that land.  The Colonists brought materials and ideas with them, introducing it to the native people. Whereas, the Native Americans did the very same thing.  This simple, but complex exchange happens in our every day lives and more medicines will continue to be discovered and created.

When a stimulus is removed from a person or animal, resulting in a decrease in the probability of response, it is known as _____
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Negative punishment.

Explanation:

As the exercise briefly describes, when a stimulus is removed from a person or animal, resulting in a decrease in the probability of response, it is known as negative punishment. In behavioral terms, positive means adding whereas negative means taking. The goal of punishment is to decrease a determined behavior. Therefore, if a person takes something good for example a dog's bone, when the dog behaves poorly, it will likely decrease this response. And, if the dog behaves well, and you give him the bone, this will make him tend to act like that.

What is 5 1/4- 4 1/2 oops it's math not social studies
Artyom0805 [142]
Convert to improper fraction (multiply whole number by denominator and add numerator, keep the denominator)
5 1/4 = 21/4
4 1/2 = 9/2

Multiply 9/2 by 2/2 to get the same denominator = 18/4
Subtract the numerators, keep the denominator.
21/4-18/4 = 3/4.
