I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

I went shooting a few years ago when I was in America. I LOVED it, would deffo get one if I lived there. To me, the riots and Ukrainian war totally prove why there's a need for firearms. If someone came into my house during a riot I 100% want to be able to put them down.

You're getting downvoted because you used the r-word. The preferred term is 'fiery but mostly peaceful protest'. Do better.
