My high school in the suburban south in the 1980s, people had gunracks in their trucks, often with guns on them. They couldn't come inside the building, but the guns in trucks were considered culturally untouchable at the time.

It's amazing how strange something can appear when interpreted in a different social or cultural context.

I for one find your (former) ignorance of the widespread nature of gunplay in America strange. Were you raised in a bubble?
