We had a culture of overt racial discrimination too. We had a culture of demeaning and belittling women. I enjoy shooting a gun as much as the next guy. But just calling something a culture doesn't make it right. I know lots of people are worried about a slippery slope - but come on - do I need a magazine with over 9 bullets? I might be naive, but in what circumstance would I need more than a couple of bullets? And I use the word "need" loosely - I get along without any bullets every day. Hunters don't (good ones need 1). gun laws won't fix the problem. They'll help to treat a symptom as laws move across states... but it's not the real disease.
