Daisy and Colt firearm history
Back in the mid to late 1800's guns were starting to be manufactured. Many people did not know what these were all about until they go there hands on them. Guns are what help people to collect food and fend for themselves. Guns are made for survival especially back in the mid 1800's. There was really no other way of getting food other then trapping and spearing. Once the gun was invented people realized that this is more convenient and easier to use, rather then trapping and spearing their food. One of the first guns that was easily made and widely known and used is the daisy BB gun. In the late 1870's Clarence Hamilton created the BB gun. he wanted to invent something no one else had done, therefore he thought of a type of gun. Clarence Hamilton was just a jewelry store owner that knew how to invent things, therefore he decided to create the gun. (http://www.daisy.com/history). Many people did not understand why Hamilton wanted to create a gun, but once he did it changed the way many people acquired their food. Another major gun manufacturing company is the Colt company. Colt was founded by Samuel Colt, when he received a British patent on his improved design for a revolver in 1835, two U.S. patents in 1836, one on February 25, and another on August 29. Samuel Colt was a genius inventor that revolutionized the way firearms were and are being produced to this day.(Colt Manufacturing company info).
