Gun cultures

Gun culture refers to the attitudes, feelings, values and behaviour of a society, or any social group, in which guns are used.^[1] The term was first coined by Richard Hofstadter in an American Heritage article critiquing gun violence in the United States.^[2]

Local gun cultures are found all around the world, and attitudes toward guns vary greatly. Among the most studied and discussed global gun cultures is that of the United States.^[3]
