American macho heroes:

As you all know, the shape of american macho heroes from movies and television program
how they look like

“macho”: American’s idea of macho are through strength and physical violence.
Model: soldiers, detectives or police. They can fight with guns, fists and other weapons.
Rugged individualism: First, rugged individualist images emphasize the importance of self-
reliance. Second, the image of strength is traditionally defined as masculine. Based on
violence, they use guns to solve problems, and on the frontier, men use guns to hunt and
protect themselves and their families.
The impact of guns:
So this is the reason why Americans are worried about the impact of these macho heroes on
American youth: some of the killings in school or movie theaters happened because teenagers
can easily get guns. Furthermore, terrorists attacked on 9/11/2001, so Americans were willing
to take the law into their own hands to protect themselves and their families. Although some
laws are promulgated to prevent people from possessing guns, people divided into two sides
oppose them because homes where there are children are safer without guns, and one side is
in favor because, according to them, having guns in their house is an important right, and this
will keep law-abiding residents from becoming criminals.
