Everyone here is raised learning the history of USA, overthrowing a tyrannical empire and creating our own democracy. We're taught that the Constitution was designed with inherant distrust and selfishness of politicians in mind. Many of us in non-urban areas grew up in areas with police response times greater than 20 minutes. All this and more combines into a self-reliant culture somewhat distrustful of the government that makes us ready to protect ourselves and our families. When considering this culture and context, guns and ammo during times of stress makes more sense.
