@Umang Singh k-414 the reason we love guns is because it’s part of our culture. With muskets, cannons, and a bit of help we fought off an empire that control a third of the world at that time. Then in 1812 that same empire tried again and where fought off with a large militia and a United military working in unison. in a short time the war ended and the Americans found there ultimate strategy to fend off any empire and any nation, lots and lots of regular Joe’s with easy to maintain guns. And In the civil war both sides of the conflict decided to take their military issued rifles and revolvers back home to protect there families and themselves on the frontier. Then the importance of guns skyrocketed. Overtime the nation got bigger and better guns and we got the reputation that we were gun nuts because nearly everyone could get a gun (which I’m glad we got the reputation.) then with that reputation it added a psychological element to our defense granting us the ability for US citizens to have guns optionally (turns out sadly 3/8s of the country hates guns)and the rest of the world thinks that we’re still as well armed as we were 200 years ago. In fact the Japanese in world war 2 didn’t want to attack mainland American because a top general said that there is an American with a rifle behind every blade of grass.
