Open Gun Market in Chamchamal

A teenage Iraqi boy wraps himself with a machine gun ammunition belt at a gun market. Weapons and ammunition are both traded and sold in the same open market where one might find food or clothing. At the bazaar anyone could buy a used hand grenade for twenty cents or a fully loaded one for five dollars. Two hundred dollars could buy a Kalashnikov, hundreds of bullets and a few magazines. An RPG-7 (rocket propelled grenade) and two rockets would cost less, about seventy dollars. The prices given to local Kurds would most likely be much less. One could easily walk away from the market with a variety of Russian or Chinese made weapons to harm and murder hundreds of people for only three hundred and fifty dollars. Men of all ages fill the bazaar daily because trading and buying weapons has become a casual part of many people's lives since the Iraq War. (Photo by Ramin Talaie/Corbis via Getty Images)
