The United States is a violent society. We own more handguns than any other western country, and we use them.
Blood flows through the streets of our ghettos, oftentimes reaching our more tranquil suburbs.
We settle our disputes not with words but with guns, knives and fists. We don't argue, we fight. Perhaps it's our history. The country was born out of an armed rebellion. Guns have always been a part of our heritage.
