Before coming here, I heard that there has been debates about having a gun in America. At that time, I could not understand why many American people want to have a gun. To know their opinion about that, I asked the view of a gun to my two American friends. I was so surprised that their views are contrary to each other. One of my friends, Jessica, said that there is no gun in her house, and having a gun is scary so she disagree to do that. But, another friend, Sam, said that he has a gun because of hunting, and having a gun is not problem because it is just a right. I told Sam's opinion to Jessica. Then, she said, there are some Americans who think that, especially men. It was shocking to me because I thought that almost of all Americans would think having a gun is a bad thing. Actually, I thought the debates about banning a gun in America is just because of the interest of NRA. I did not know that there are some normal people who think it is not problem. In my home country, Korea, gun is illegal material so we cannot have that. In that reason, we do not worry about being gunned. Many people can feel comfortable if governance ban a gun. But, in other side, I can understand that they think like that because of their pioneer history. Talking with Americans about a gun was what I have wanted. Even if it was shocking, it was also interesting to know different culture between American and Korea.
It is very different for western and eastern culture in having a gun. in this aspect, i think american have a distinct opinion to other country people.
