That is the root of the gun debate. Today, gun ownership in the U.S. is engrained in the culture of its society. It is a culture that is foreign to many outside of the country, and just because it is so does not make it wrong. It’s ignorant for any outsider to pass judgment on a particular society’s culture (customs, habits, traditions, etc.) just because it is different or contradictory to their own.
Americans are passionate about their firearms which today are integral to their daily lives. Because this passion may contradict other society’s culture does not make it wrong.
