'''Rebecca Peters''' is the Director&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.iansa.org/about/secretariat.htm   About us: IANSA Secretariat]&lt;/ref&gt; of the [[International Action Network on Small Arms]] ([[IANSA]]).  
As chair of the (Australian) National Coalition for Gun Control at the time of the [[Port Arthur massacre]] in 1996, Peters played a key role in the introduction of stricter [[Gun politics in Australia|gun control and gun confiscation, in Australia]], an area in which she remains active today.

The Umut Foundation says:

:''&quot;Rebecca Peters was Chair of the [[National Coalition for Gun Control]], which campaigned to tighten Australia's gun laws in the 1990s. Her research and advocacy helped bring about sweeping changes, including uniform gun laws across the eight states, a ban on semiautomatic rifles and shotguns, and a year-long [[Gun buyback program|buyback]] that destroyed nearly 700,000 weapons. Among the awards she received was the 1996 Australian Human Rights Medal, her country's highest human rights honor.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.umut.org.tr/eng/sempozyum/katilimcibiyog.html UMUT Foundation]&lt;/ref&gt;&quot;''

Prior to her work with IANSA, Peters worked for the Open Society Institute, a private foundation funded by George Soros.

:''&quot;The most expensive kind of violence, is gun violence&quot; '' - Rebecca Peters, 'Great Gun Debate'

She has been criticised by the [[National Rifle Association]] in the United States, which believes that Rebecca Peters, along with the United Nations, wishes to &quot;strip all citizens of all nations of their right to self-protection&quot; via gun-ownership by &quot;banning civilian ownership of firearms&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.stopungunban.org/ StopUNGunBan.org]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.stopungunban.org/pages/mastermind StopUNGunBan.org ]&lt;/ref&gt; The U.N. maintains that it has no desire to attempt to outlaw gun ownership in any country.&lt;ref&gt;[http://cnn.com/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0002/20060621/1735824548.htm CNN.com]&lt;/ref&gt;

          <rev xml:space="preserve">[[Image:Stag2wi.jpg|right|thumb|300px|AR-15 rifles showing their configuations with different upper receivers]]

In [[firearm]]s terminology, the '''receiver''' is the part of a firearm that houses the operating parts. It is sometimes called the '''body''' of the firearm, and especially in the context of handguns (revolvers and pistols) it is often called the '''frame'''. It is often made of forged or stamped steel or aluminum; in addition to these traditional materials, modern materials science and materials engineering have introduced polymers and sintered metal powders to receiver construction.

In strictly legal terms, in the United States the receiver is the actual firearm itself, and as such it is the controlled part (without which operating is impossible).  Generally, the law views the receiver as that part of a firearm housing that has the 
[[serial number]] upon it.  Thus, in the case that a firearm has multiple receivers (such as the [[AR-15]], which has an upper and lower receiver) the legally controlled one is the one that is serialized (the lower, in the AR-15's case).
