MSNBC interviewed high school males and the macho male attitude goes hand in hand with the love of guns in the US. It is a stereotype that has been 100 years in the making and will take a lot of affert to begin to change. American, white men have been taught for generations how to suppress heir feelings and love guns and violence as a substitute. We don't have a generation, let alone 4, to change the American love of gun ownership through education, etc. We must get rid of guns now and work on changing the attitude at the same time.
