We have had a long tradition of guns in the USA, its part of our cultural identity.

Not mine. I find it embarrassing. Are you thinking of the westerns you watched as a kid? The founding fathers weren't obsessed with guns. Which in those days were muzzle-loading rifles. Ineffective at implementing a mass shooting. They were mentioned in the constitution in part because when it was written, we did not have a standing army, and so would, in the event of a national emergency, need those well regulated militias.

At the time, the British were't through with us, and the founding fathers were right to be concerned. In fact, they did return in 1812, and sacked the Capitol, as did a modern group of domestic terrorists only this year.

Oh, and if you missed fuagf's earlier post, most of those Wild West towns banned guns to keep the peace and protect residents.
