In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher: US has bad relationship with guns [View all]rl6214

The gun culture is a culture shared by people in the gun politics debate, generally those who advocate preserving gun rights and who are generally against more gun control. In the United States, the term is used solely to identify gun advocates who are legitimate and legal owners and users of guns, using guns for self defense, sporting uses (hunting), and recreational uses (target shooting).

Those on the anti-gun side like to use the term as a bad thing as you well know.

Don't see anyone in the 'gun culture' promoting MORE guns, they are promoting gun freedom

I think Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher are quite a bit more well-versed...
