Considering most developed countries have strict gun controls, the US is unique and you can't really apply the issues of guns to anywhere else. But a lot of pro-gun advocates cite that they want guns to protect themselves. My general point stands. If everyone around you is part of your "in" group, you're more likely to be willing to help them out and less likely to see them as a threat. I would like to believe that most people are able to transcend racial, ethnic, religious, or even national boundaries to help their fellow man. However, reality shows me this is not the case.
