That or they're older generation cowboys and like to get drunk, hop on the lawnmower, and shoot the stars and their canon, periodically. Retired servicemen have the only gun culture I even half respect, but that's because they've been fully trained to use them. Based on the suicide rates of those that go on to own guns though.. Maybe not the best thing to have lyin around a PTSD trained killer.
Admittedly, if I went on a hiking trip in the mountains near the grizzlies and mountain lions and big foot.. I'd want a gun.
I own guns, and I'll be the first to say that allowing a child to handle an submachinegun is the epitome of stupid. My own child is 12, and he has not fired anything more than a goddamned BB gun under my supervision, nor would he, until he's ready.
