On the Pacific coast, generally the population is for gun control and increased legislation. Its a region heavy with business and industry. Where I am, however, in the east of the state, is far more rural. Families have been hunting for necessity and pleasure for generations. Distrust of the government is deep. Theres not much siversity here, so not much knowledge or experience of other cultures. Its ripe for seeds of distrust and paranoia to be sown. Theres no understanding of the world at large among the people that I know.
Just a fierce determination to hang on to their guns, no matter what. Kids here grew up around them, safely. Its presumed that the mass killings are due to mental illness, religious fervour, and nothing can legislate these elements away.This is, you understand, my point of view and experience. I dont want to paint the region with my brush.
