Introduction
The first devices that worked similar to modern guns emerged in China around 1,000 A.D., and around the fourteenth century guns with metal barrels became the standard. Guns work by propelling a projectile (such as a bullet) through a barrel by the combustion of gunpowder. Guns may differ based on their length, the diameter of their barrel, and how a new round enters the chamber.
Countries worldwide have varying histories with guns. Nations like the United States have a long and expansive history with guns and even today the gun plays a central role in political and moral discussions. While, other countries, like the United Kingdom for instance, do not have guns enshrined within the political fabric of the state in the same manner as the U.S. This affinity with guns, as well as, history of this weapon in countries often plays a role in the modern states approach to guns in general.
Countries each take a different approach to gun regulation; those with less strict laws often have higher rates of gun ownership due to the easier accessibility. However, some countries outlaw only certain types of guns; so while they may be more restrictive, ownership may still be high or vice versa. Moreover, because gun violence has increased across the world, gun ownership is constantly changing as countries try to address the problem.
