Essay: Gun ownerships

         Gun ownerships are hazardous and insecure for humanity. Not many people are trained to have guns as they don't have gun licence or the government doesn't require. The problem is people who own guns have more risk to hurt or kill somebody. But in many countries, you can buy firearms in black market. Besides gun's licences are hardly ever necessary, if you are above 18 years old (21 year-old in the USA) you can buy a gun.

           First, buying guns in black market is easy in countries of third world. People buy it because of insecurity in these countries, they need to be armed and in the black market they can purchase guns without problem. Moreover, firearms are cheaper if people acquire illicitly. For instance, lower-quality guns are often worth $100 or $200 less than retail. For that reason, people prefer to buy in that way.

             Next, people who own guns are likely to have an accident. There are more chances to be involved in an accident or even a homicide. For example, there are an amount of cases where children take parent’s gun and by accident they hurt or kill their sibling, this happens usually in countries where there is no control of arms. Different from countries where police and citizens don’t have guns have less mortality. We can think about in England, police aren’t allowed to wear guns and they have a restricted law of guns. As a result, they don’t have accidents with firearms, especially in children.

            Last, gun’s licenses hardly ever are necessary. In many states of USA it’s not necessary to have a gun’s license you only have to be of legal age (older than 18 or 21 year-old). For demonstrate, in the state of Alaska a permit is not required to purchase a gun, own a gun, or even to carry a gun. However, this is a world-wide problem because countries of South and Centro America, Africa and Asia don’t require any gun’s licenses. In South America, Argentina and Brazil are the only countries which ask a gun’s license. Otherwise, they are not demanding with this law

             In summary, gun ownerships are dangerous because most people are allowed to carry a gun. For that reason, government must be strict with a law that requires a gun's licence. Besides, government has to forbid the gun's black market.  In that way, the fact to be involved in an accident is less than people who don’t have firearms. However, not only government has responsibility of this issue, but also people have to consider the problems to have a gun in their home.
