AMERICA is a "GUN NATION"

     Cultures specialize. It's just the nature of life.  Think France....think Architecture.  Think India....think Religion. Think China....think Social Order.  Think Saudi Arabia....think oil.  Think America....think Guns.  Americans may have, in our envied past,  thought of ourselves as Christians, Well Educated, Wealthy, Innovators, Libertarians, etc. Many of these assesments are of course accurate....but, we American's have, in our modern expression, so identified ourselves as the "Gun Nation", that no alternate identify holds sway.  We are the "Gun People", for better or for worse.  We might as well start weapon training in grammer school, because we are not going to alter our main national trait. Muslims are still going to support Jihad, Jews are still going to pray in Jersuselum, American Blacks are still going to dominate the NBA, and Americans are still going to keep on shooting ourselves.  It's the way we roll....own it!
