I'm an American that has lived abroad for about 10 years now (so, half my life). I still identify heavily with the States and I'm quite proud and etc, but...I will never understand gun culture. I just don't get it. I understand the 2nd Amendment etc., but I just do not see why people are so eager to own such destructive, horrifying instruments. I really just don't understand! Yes we need better mental healthcare but I cannot wrap my head around why anyone absolutely needs to have one gun, let alone several....It's just one cultural element that I can't comprehend or identify with.
