A friend of mine once explained to me that many of the conflicts in US politics, espeically the gun ownership controversy, correlate with urban vs rural conflicts.
So, even though the whole concept of gun ownership is very strange to me, I can imagine that it makes sense to own guns as means of self defense if you have a house in the middle of nowhere and it takes the police 20 minutes or more until they arrive. On the other side, hunting in New York City seems a little absurd.
What do you think?
