The Other Gun Culture No One
Criticizes
International Scholar Says Liberals & Conservatives
Should Have Common Ground
Topic Summary
The gun debate has ignited once again, as it does with each new killing spree. Every time we
hear the same message. The public is invited to clamor for measures to control guns to stop
the violence. We are told to pressure our politicians to have the courage to face the powerful
gun lobby. We are urged to reject our violent “gun culture.”
“To be honest, there really isn’t much I can do personally to reject this culture,” says
international speaker John Horvat.
“It is telling that that despite the extreme ease with which a person can become a member of a
major gun rights organization (just pay dues), no mass killers appear to have been members.
In a similar way, no mass killers have been found to be fervent Christians, family men or
owners of significant property.”
There is a second gun culture that no one dares to mention, says Horvat, author of “Return to
Order” (www.returntoorder.org). This second culture is defined by the plots and themes
constantly found in Hollywood films and video games. Every action film is full of guns, misuse
of weapons and gratuitous violence. In fact, he says, people are exposed to more guns in one
of these films than a full year of exposure in the first culture.
“Members from the first culture are usually quite discreet about it,” he says. “They seem to
understand the seriousness of carrying any gun…and are familiar with those very rare
occasions when a gun might be needed for self-defense. The second culture, in contrast,
depict trigger-happy cowboys (and cowgirls) ever ready to shoot anything that moves. I don’t
understand why people have no problem with this unreal world that glamorizes the gun and
glories in scenes of massive violence.”
Isn’t it time liberals and conservatives alike publicly denounce this other gun culture that sends
such a deadly message, Horvat asks.
“I am not saying that Hollywood and video games are the only causes of the mass murder
phenomenon,” he says. “However, I believe this second gun culture plays a major role.”
Discussion Questions
• Why do perpetrators of mass shootings, mostly young men, commit these acts?
• Keeping other factors in mind, how much of a part does the second culture – including gun
glorification in movies and video games – factor into motive for mass shootings?
• You say liberals and conservatives alike should publicly denounce flippant gun glorification.
What do you think would need to happen in order to get both sides of the political spectrum on
the same message?
• Is there an underlying problem at work in this second gun culture? Does it have anything in
common with other societal problems?
• Was there ever a time that the media at least discussed the problems associated with the
second culture?
