Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

Outlaws are romanticized, yes. Just like Robin Hood is still a popular legend in Great Britain even though a bow and arrow was his weapon of choice. Like the other anon, I don't think it's necessarily the guns that are the key part of this, it's the fact that they're outlaws... who happen to have guns. Even your own example of Gotti doesn't really support the gun argument. Gotti is known primarily for his position a dapper mob boss, a job which isn't really about using firepower on a regular basis - not the way outlaws of the Wild West or Bonnie and Clyde did. And Bonnie and Clyde weren't romanticized because they used guns, they were romanticized because of their relationship.


Our history is full of gun massacres and the truly tragic thing is that we have learned nothing and they're still happening to this day.

I agree with this part completely.
