    I don’t understand the gun culture. I don’t get why it’s appealing, why shootings are often featured in Hollywood movies, or why shooting and collecting guns is a hobby. I’ve watched some informational YT videos of hobbyists talking about their rifles but it’s always been so mildly amusing at most.

      I’m totally with you. But to add to that there’s something that I quite don’t understand why it’s popular both in America and in Latin America (dunno about other regions). Drug dealers, Mafia, violent criminals, narcos, capos, etc in media, be it documentary-style or fiction. Even in shows where they are meant as the bad guy protagonist lots of people tend to idolize them
