Gun culture in America

| February 1, 2013 5:00 AM

There is a gun culture in America. It arrived with the first pilgrims who used them to protect the community from the unforseen perils od an unexplored land. And to procure game to sustain their numbers. Bad people have always skulked in the shadows to prey on the weak, the ill-prepared and the unarmed. The original bands of roving "highwaymen" have now grown into all forms of criminal associations that don't cre what the law says. They use all forms of intimidation, coersion, violence and weapons, including guns, to get the outcome they want. As a whole, I'll call it "Thug Culture."
