The most important post in this thread!
This post inadvertantly summarises the whole issue perfectly.
There is a genuine belief in large parts of America, that what stops criminal activity is the threat of death (hence the seemingly baffling refusal to abolish the death penalty), and it's exactly that attitude which means that gun culture will continue to exist.
The reason most people don't commit crimes (alpha male or not) has more to do with morality than the threat of punishment.
