Most other countries start with the default of "You all don't need a gun, so no one with a few exceptions is legally allowed one without very strict rules". Same works for personal nuclear weapons and anthrax funnily enough.
On the plus sign, you don't have to pay theme park prices for rides, get to avoid the ladies complaining all day, hang out with the boys and get some exercise. Blackface isn't a woke offence either.
When you stop comparing yourself to something infinitely bigger and out of reach for us all, and appreciate how big you are compared to where you started from.
Ok, maybe that works better for some of us than others.
