It's a country founded on what you may call conservative ideas. I'm guessing that's really much of the explanation.

I also think it has something to do with how US society was created and even more with how Americans have idealized that process.

'Liberal' gun laws is a conservative position.

Guns are heavily restricted in most of the rest of the world. And wrongfully so.


Says a guy who lives in the country with the highest number of gun related deaths per capita among developed countries.

Says  a guy who lives in the most f'd up country on earth.
