The gun culture doesn't spring up from nothing. In US you promote cowboy like gun culture, police being high profile example for it. In here we promote the kind of culture that we don't shoot each others, shooting other nationalities is another issue as most men have been in army and so on.

I know that US has different situation and culture, but I also know it can be changed, if there is just will for it. But as long as it seems to be OK for cops to shoot people if those are just labeled as criminals, it surely won't help the situation.
