Self-protection/family/country
It's reassuring,
You feel powerful
It's afundamental right
It's in the constitution
It gives power to the People
It boosts the economy/it's necessary

Guns as a game
Guns as symbol/embodiment of America
Consequences and dangers
Mass murders especially in schools,
more criminality
The most armed country in the world and the most violent
more suicides and accidents too
Anchored in the culture, difficult to fight
Fragile people, murderers and psychopaths can act easily
not enough regulation, not efficient
violence becomes commonplace,/trivialized
Creating a society of fear and defiance/dystopia
Solutions

Regulating arms
Checking who is allowed to have one

awareness campaigns, young people should react
psychological exam fo gun bearers?
