We are all gun people here. A law enforcement friend once asked me what a "gun person" was. This is the answer I gave him. We "gun people" are people that have chosen to train ourselves in the use and care of firearms. We do this to better defend ourselves, our loved ones and hunt if we are so inclined. Self discipline is an absolutely necessary component in developing a useful and satisfying skill. This is as true in Russia or Brazil or Afghanistan as it is here. It does not have any "values" that are "only" American.
