In our last English lesson Farrah told us something about the American gun culture. Basically what she talked about was that in America everyone is allowed to bear arms. This means that everyone is allowed to carry weapons with him or her.
Why do Americans want to protect their right to bear arms?
The Americans are used to their guns and they might feel strong against the government and burglars. They also need guns for hunting. In former times the cowboys had to fight against animals and other people who wanted America to be their country.
Farrah also told us something about the Redneck stereotype. Rednecks drive very old cars, they drink beer all day long, they are uneducated, they all wear guns and they don’t care about what other people say about them. Rednecks wear very old clothes.
At the end of the lesson Farrah showed as a video on youtube about the congresswoman Garbielle Giffords who was shot in the head by a young man last week. This happened in shopping-center in Tucson (Arizona).
