Gun Possession

The more I talk about this subject the more I see why people tend to own guns. First, I’d like to look at the cultural reasons. Actually, there might be two different kinds of reasons for this practice. One is cultural which has been becoming more supported by the laws that have been becoming more lax. Another is “logical”. By logical I mean it is the less illogical, as I think that there is no reason for owning gun, especially in countries like USA. In fact, it should be the opposite since USA is a developed country, which is less likely to have a civil war.
If things continue like that, it will hard to distinguish the police from the public. The only difference might be perhaps the uniform.

Just for you to have an idea, I’d like to share my country’s experience. Angola went through a war that lasted about 27 years (After that, the country has been going through a period of reconstructing the country). People in Angola are so friendly after the war that they cannot even think about owning a gun. This is because they know that there is no reason for owning a gun. In fact, they had firsthand experience about what guns can generate. What I want to say is: Angolans have a logical reason for owning a gun in case we (Angolans) wanted to own since we just had a war not so long ago. As it turns out, Angolans don’t own a gun because they don’t want to go through the same thing again. That’s mainly why people in Angola don’t own guns.
