FWIW, I am in the US and I have barely ever encountered a gun really either.

I am pretty sure I have never held a real gun either.

I mean outside the gun range I haven't either, when visiting.

You're ofcourse a very diverse bunch and I don't want to generalize, but it's a cultural oddity that is quite eyecatcher and without the charm of Finnish saunas or Belgian beer.
