This question is based purely off of curiosity and late night discussions with myself. 

So I know this is a broad question, and probably a bit of a tough one to answer, but I'd like to know. I know America has quite the love affair with guns, and I first learned how to shoot a rifle in 4th or 5th grade at a summer camp. This may just be the area of the U.S that I live in, and to be honest I don't know if other people can relate. I'm totally open to answers from anyone that's all...

Non American gun culture is typically a bit less obsessed with guns and more obsessed with sport. For example, in Australia, if someone wants to buy a gun, they typically go through a process of checking to see if they are eligible to own one, and if they are not eligible, they may have to wait years before they can even apply. In America, it seems like people can just walk into a store and buy a gun, no questions asked. Additionally, in America, it seems like people are much more likely to use their guns for self-defense rather than sport. For example, in Australia, it is much more common for people to use their guns for sport, like in duck shooting.

Its both a security and also some fear.

Ive got a murderstatement from a guy a couple of years ago, which put me on very high stress.

Knowing i could get a gun at that case would be a high security for me, to keep me safe from getting injured.

The planet has between 190 and 240 nations, and the number might change every day. So your question might have 190 to 240 answers. In some nations people carry machine guns around town. In some nations people don't even think of weapons. For instance, I heard a story recently about a fellow in London who got his head chopped off. Bystanders had called police to restore order, but then they had to wait for a special unit of police who were allowed to carry guns.

If it would happen in America or even countries around the globe, we could be able to attain world peace. World Peace is an old issue that it is impossible to happen because of the existence of guns.

Non-American gun culture varies widely depending on the country and culture. In some countries, gun ownership is highly regulated or even prohibited, while in others, it may be more widely accepted for hunting or sport shooting purposes.

Non American gun culture is a mix of cultures and religions. It's not just just interested in gunfire and firearms, but a variety of cultural things get played in the game such as walking around with assault rifles, and carrying other firearms without a warrant. There are also mixed results with regards to gun ownership and use, and there's still some discussion about how within the current political climate it is simply more difficult to be an assimilated minority than not to have a gun.
