 WRITING TASK 2:

Shootings have been on a steep rise in some countries


where arms laws are weak and people usually keep guns
at home. I strongly agree that people who keep guns in
household are more prone to get involved in unfortunate
incidents related to the shootings for many reasons.

Firstly, it is intuitively obvious that having a gun in a


household endangers children and teenagers. This is
because minors do not have the requisite knowledge or
maturity to handle guns safely. Therefore it is
incontrovertible that household guns lead to additional
shootings.

Secondly, household guns became especially dangerous


when spouses have violent arguments. This is because
male sexual rage, in particular, often results in deadly
aggression. For example, The International Crime
Bureau recently produced statistical evidence that – if
there is a household gun – a man is twice as likely (if he
discovers his wife having an affair) to kill her in a fit of
jealous rage. Therefore, once again, household guns
correlate positively with additional shootings.

On the other hand, male face sometime violent


arguments at his house with their spouse, therefore they
believe that gun is important at home to protect his honor
and reputation. Moreover, cultures oblige people to hold
guns especially in poor areas, where drug dealers and
human traffickers take advantage in such places. For
example, due to jealousy on his wife, man can kill her
without thinking twice if there is a household gun.

In conclusion, there is undeniable evidence that having a


gun in a house leads to further shootings. Given the
strength of this evidence, in the future, more legislature
needs to be put in place to limit private gun ownership.
