The history of the frontier and myths around it still resonate within American culture. Growing up in Reno, Nevada sure gave me different attitudes towards rifles/handguns than those I have heard from people who were brought up in more urban areas like Chicago, DC, New York City, etc.

It was different though in the Twin Cities to a certain extent as many people there still seemed to hunt/fish/camp and the like.

There does not seem to be any simple solution to this but watching out for one another and getting back a sense of community in many areas. That seems like a matter of local governments, organizations, etc., and not something done by bureaucrats.
