    That’s not really commenting on my point, which is that these places also have gun cultures. The US is not unique in that.

      I haven’t spent any time in the Middle East, so please forgive my armchair analysis if you are more versed in the culture, but it seems like they have a legitimate need for guns, given how unstable the region is, rather than seeking guns out because of a deification like the US.
