How did guns in the US become so beloved?

You might see some bad answers from liberals and democrats, but guns actually become favored in the USA for several reasons. One of the foremost is that they were used for a very long time and still are, for getting food. Second they were one of the best ways to defend one's self against animals of both the four legged type and two legged type, and they are still used for that purpose and the type of animal depends on where you live. Another of the primary uses was to fight against tyranny of all types; the British in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. They were used to fight the Mexicans and Mexican bandits along the Southern Border a long time ago and there is still some need for that today. We have depended on guns all through our history for many reasons and today many are good investments as they are collector's items. Many ill educated people want to take them away but do not realize they have very good purposes in the hands of good people. Hitler, Castro, Mussolini other dictators took guns away from good people and look at what happened in those countries along with several others.
