I am not 100% sure if it's a problem but I'd say we do have a gun obsession as a whole. I don't own any guns but I am a registered NRA RSO that I utilize when volunteering at Scouting events. Funny enough, the other volunteers usually assume I own a gun(s) but I just tell em I am just volunteering to contribute to the Scouting program.
What I find interesting is when not referring to the Amendment for their reason, some/many say it is for their own protection. It's apple and oranges but I can't help but wonder how some countries seem fine without this gun craze among its citizens while we as a whole seem it is a "must-have".
