However we can avoid the risks of guns, because it's not a necessity to have one.

A gun is a necessity for self-defense. If it's not a necessity for you, you just simply don't need a gun and certainly don't need to obtain a license to get one. If you lived in a bad neighborhood, then a gun would be a necessity because bad things are likely to happen. Driving a car is a necessity for fast transportation. Guns are necessity's for people who hunt to feed their family. You can't call driving a necessity and not call guns a necessity. I sense some bias.
