You could of just used the word differences. That is not as insulting. The word 'issue' is implying paranioia anyway. So, are you implying that all all cultures where people are threatened by guns are inferior? Also if you are saying everyone should carry a gun for defense and so on, doesn't that mean if every carried a nuclear weapon everyone else should? Can you imagine the problems that would cause? Where do you draw the line? Because going by one of your main arguements, that situation would be ok.
