It's so hard to get gun in other developed countries. People even afraid to carry gun in there. But why government of US makes it easy to buy,carry or sell guns? Is it good for the nation or people living there? They mayn't get freedom while walking in dreary places. Isn't it? I even scared of word gun.
First, you need to see that the gun is a fundamental part of the culture and heritage of political traditions of the United States since its early days. They profit from the sale of arms to countries war!
The second in the US constitution provides for the right to own weapons. Thus, ownership of guns is considered a fundamental right of American citizens

I do think that the weapon is a symbol of democracy. If the state is truly democratic it trusts its citizens and cannot afford to deprive citizens of the right to protection of his life.
