I think that my assumption - that we have different personal/family cultures - still stands. Based on what you've said, literally the only thing we have in common is growing up in multicultural families that owned guns and taught us the very basics of using them. (Although I find your assumption that "American" = "white" troublesome... as is your assumption that it's uncommon to grow up in a mixed culture household. But then, that's my own background peeking through.)

...and I wasn't actually trying to convince you of anything. I put more effort into arguments/persuasive pieces. I thought it was an interesting tidbit and was sharing it.

But otherwise I probably agree with you?
