It is very common to find guns and families with guns in the Americas. From Canada in the far north to Argentina in the far south of the Western Hemisphere, guns are used by people who enjoy hunting, people who like target practice, people who want guns as protection to their home and guns that are collected by gun collectors. Guns constitute an important element of culture in the Americas. Gun culture is alive and doing well.
Some years ago when I was visiting Paraguay, a friend showed me his pistol. He said that he keeps the pistol in his business jacket or coat to give him protection if necessary from the emerging gangs or so called bad guys in society. It makes sense. We all want to be protected from evil.
I am part of the gun culture in America. Some years ago, after I got out of the military, I borrowed my grandpa's rifle and on his land, I shot a rabbit. It only took me one shot, one bullet. and I killed that animal. Grandpa was proud of me, and prepared the rabbit for our food. We had rabbit meat.
Now I am not obsessed with guns, and I don't care about guns, but I do recognized them as part of our culture, and a useful part at that.
Guns represent money. They bring in a lot of profit to the gun manufacturers. Guns can be purchased in so many stores, as well as in the underground market, which is vast, and growing in America.
What about you? Do you own a gun, or would you like to have a gun? How can you get a gun?
