I don't have any intention of flaming anyone. All I'm saying is that Americans (those I know, not all, obviously) are brought up differently from Australians.

I'll see if I can choose the right words here...

Americans, guns = protection.
Australians, guns = aggression.

Americans, whether it be because of your civil war or something, and they way your constitution is, think its odd if you DON'T have guns. The right to bear arms and all that.

Here, its like, if you have a gun, you intend to kill someone, or you wouldn't have it.

I don't have statistics or anything like that to back me up, nor do I really want to. Its just my opinion on how I see the different gun cultures.
