What is gun culture?
The term “gun culture” appeared in Richard Hofstadter’s article "America as a Gun Culture," published in 1970.
It comes from hundreds of years of war with the Indians and between European’s settlers.
The second amendment to the constitution states: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" (1791)*
Gun culture is a controversial feature of the United States.

Some of the conditions to purchase and bear a firearm are:To have a clean criminal record To be declared mentally sane To be a citizen of the country
In some American states, no permit is necessary to purchase a gun.
