Not really. Nearly everyone in my family has owned guns, including myself. We have family who hunt professionally. Several of us know people who concealed carry for legitimate self protection. Carrying a gun on full display is something you do because you have a specific purpose to use that gun. Doing so for entertainment is ridiculously unsafe under most circumstances and to the extent it’s part of American culture it’s a particularly toxic variant of that. But that’s a very limited subset of America. Most of our shitty gun culture is much more just plain American toxic culture generally
- Daniel_sk 5y agoThis. And also - maybe something to add that could explain his behaviour of showing force / guns on purpose. He was bullied a lot at elementary school - he was also the smallest kid in class. He mentioned this in one of his recent videos. (I am also a gun owner / concealed-carry license and located in EU).
- kilna 5y agoInteresting. He is displaying obvious bully-like behavior: implicit intimidation, tension escalation, keeping others off-guard, blatant disregard for others' personal space and comfort. It seems like he learned all of the wrong lessons from being bullied. He learned that being a bully is good.
