    Stupid people treating guns like toys is a product of the abundance of guns, not the cause.

    If you placed those same people in a place where guns aren’t freely available I dohbt they would seek out guns for the sake of firing them off at a wedding.

      That’s not really commenting on my point, which is that these places also have gun cultures. The US is not unique in that.

        I haven’t spent any time in the Middle East, so please forgive my armchair analysis if you are more versed in the culture, but it seems like they have a legitimate need for guns, given how unstable the region is, rather than seeking guns out because of a deification like the US.
