Ever since the birth of America , people have used guns to defend themselves. A the beginning of the settlement of the country, settlers from Europe had to defend themselves against the indians. They arrived in places where only the Indians lived.
The Plain Indians were warriors and there were massacres.
Settlers had to protect themselves, they carried guns and used them.
They developed a waggon syndrom. According to this syndrom, people people felt the need to organize in a circle and to shoot if they felt threatened by the Indians.
Later, after 9/11, the attack on the Twin Towers, people felt threatened, they were afraid of everything. So they started to carry guns, more than before. In Colorado today, people are allowed to bear arms in a holster in the street. This is quite recent then.
