Gun cultures are found around the world, and evidence various attitudes towards guns in such places as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Yemen and Pakistan. Among the most studied and discussed global gun cultures is that of the gun culture in the United States. Normally, gun culture is predominant in countries that have a strong traditional outdoor culture. ==United Kingdom== The U.K. gun culture is represented by shooting sports. Clay-pigeon shooting is one of the more popular sports. Firearms are very popular predominantly among the rural communities. The use of firearms for self-defence, even among leaders of the sport-shooting community is generally frowned upon with the exception of Northern Ireland, where guns are legal for self-defence. Even the use of firearms by local police officers is frowned upon; police officers in the country are not typically equipped with firearms, only special units of law enforcement do so. The main sport-shooting organization in the United Kingdom is the National Rifle Association (not to be confused for, and is not in any way, related to the American organization of the same name). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global gun cultures」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
