There's been a lot of discussion here lately about what we (The US) should do with guns, but not very much about why they hold such a prominent place in our society and culture. Unless you're a holdout from Myth, Gnop!, Minotaur, or, god forbid, Weekend Warrior, you've played and enjoyed a Bungie game with guns in it. Despite this commonality, we have many different feelings about these weapons when it comes to the real world. Why? I would ask that you watch the video I've linked before posting. It offers one perspective (which is relatively neutral in terms of real-world politics), and I think we'll get a more meaningful discussion if we consider it before presenting our own.
