This article popped up on my Google News feed. An immigrant from India that works for CNN decided to go to the NRA convention. The article definitely did not go the direction I thought it would. She actually tried to keep things in perspective and used common sense to come to her own conclusions.
Luckily for her, there is not a place for comments at the end of the article. Honestly I'm surprised CNN ran the article.

Some things to keep in mind if I happen to find myself in a conversation with an international student. I often wonder what they think about gun culture.

Wow! An open-minded journalist asking questions and considering the responses thoughtfully, and members of the gun culture not sounding like Cleti. This is a shocker from any source, much less CNN.
Thanks for the link and kudos to the author, Ms. Basu.
For most EU people especially the younger types there is no difference between American culture and gun culture.Originally Posted by Chance

Everything I post I do so as a private individual who is not representing any company or organization.
Self reliance, individual liberty and responsibility... these are lost in a world of creeping collectivism. They simply don't get 'Liberty culture', which may be defended and guaranteed only by those individuals deciding to be responsible for its defense using the same means and methods available to and employed by those who would choose to undermine it.

Her reflections on America's history v India's was refreshingly candid.
One thing I have said here before: an open mind will change you for the better, but also isolate you from what Tam musingly referred to as "a pack of howling 'tards" (everyone else). If she keeps this up, she just might find herself with a new hobby, widely read and disseminated, and looked upon with some suspicion by her old tribe.
interesting, really surprised cnn ran it.
Wow! Cool article!
