On estime qu'outre-Atlantique 45 pour cent des ménages possèdent un fusil ou un revolver, et les crimes liés à la possession d'armes à feu y sont fréquents. Cependant, au cours des années 90, plusieurs fusillades meurtrières ont eu lieu dans des lycées américains, qui ont eu pour conséquence la mise en place d'un mouvement qui fait campagne contre les armes à feu. En dépit de cela la "National Rifle Association" continue d'invoquer "the right to bear arms" (le droit de posséder des armes à feu), inscrit dans la Constitution, et défend le tir en tant que sport légitime.
