The United States is a country where the wearing of weapons has existed since the time of the founding fathers and is part of the culture and daily life. The carrying of weapons is closely associated with the idea that everyone should have the right to defend themselves against criminals, and that citizens must be able to maintain the means of self-defense if the government becomes tyrannical. For decades, as the government did not become a tyranny, the weapons available to US citizens served primarily to defend against criminals. There have been few cases where a citizen has started shooting innocent people. These cases have become more numerous in recent years, and it is worrying.
