America is built on violence and aggression. That's how they expanded from 7 colonies to taking over half of North America. When the Native Americans refused to give up their lands in the Southwest, Andrew Jackson got Congress to pass the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which forced them to leave on the Trail of Tears.

When Mexico refused to sell their province of California, President Polk instigated the Mexican-American War that allowed America to conquer California, Arizona, Texas and Nevada.

In today's world, many Americans celebrate the cowboy image of them patrolling their property with a gun. Just let a burglar break into my house and I'll fill him with lead! Having many guns is their love and it doesn't matter about the occasional incidents of mass shootings. Anyway most shootings involved African Americans who are on the bottom of society.
