You need to look at America as Red States versus blue states (lower caps because it is less American) Red States have respect of the gun culture while blue states run in fear of them. Since virtually all media is blue outside countries can get confused. The big conflict is when Red States are converted to purple because their cities (example Austin) attract lefty culture and they move in from shithole blue states. https://media.thedonald.win/post/LNVqeDue.jpeg
