Kinda. It’s also a remnant of the old west. Guns were freedom, protection, power, etc.

It would be much more effective to curb crime by meeting everyone’s basic needs than giving everyone a gun.

But dumb Americans don’t know any other way. They are just too self-centered and absorbed to think about anyone else.

If crime is reduced by meeting everyone's needs, then it shouldn't matter whether people have guns or not. So let's have strong social safety nets and quit pissing people off by taking away their hobbies and property.
