Gun culture refers to the attitudes, feelings, values and behaviour of a society, or any social group, in which guns are used.[1] The term was first coined by Richard Hofstadter in an American Heritage article critiquing gun violence in the United States.[2]
Local gun cultures are found all around the world, and attitudes toward guns vary greatly among places such as the United States, Canada, Israel, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Yemen, and Pakistan. Among the most studied and discussed global gun cultures is that of the United States.[3]
