6. Gun culture pushes the idea that guns give you power

That you cannot trust the institutions of society to provide justice, only your personal firearm can.

That if you feel injured or slighted, you should use your gun as the great equalizer.

That other people cannot be trusted, and a gun is necessary to prevent others from abusing you.

Civilization may collapse tomorrow, and only your guns will prevent the hordes from stealing your moldy MREs.
