It seems like everywhere I look and see, I'm being pressured to buy a gun...not just one gun, multiple ones. Gun shows all over the place, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and non-stop talk about guns on TV and the radio.
It's like American culture expects me to be carrying around a gun 24/7, and that if I don't own multiple firearms, I'm somehow a second class citizen. Anyone else tired of this?
I see the same thing about gay marriage and "black lives matter"

So? When I'm in Colorado, it seems like I'm constantly bombarded to buy some weed. Things aren't always how we want them to be. Life doesn't always evolve around the "me". Grow a pair, tune it out and move on.

Oh come on MaseMan. Get with the program.
Remember these simple rules:
All guns are good guns.
More guns in the hands of more people make us safer.
More guns make more profit for gun makers, and all profit is good.
Statistics showing US with 7X to 10X more gun deaths than other nations are lies.
In other words, turn off your brain. You will be happier.

You're seeing what you want to see and getting yourself worked up about it. Look into 'confirmation bias' and seek counseling. The only place guns are EVER advertised on TV are on hunting or shooting shows, which I doubt you watch unless you're looking for something to be outraged over.
There is far more blatant 'advertising' for gay culture than there is for guns. Do you feel pressured to be gay too?
Since you are already planning a move to Europe, try Switzerland, where every adult is issued a gun and trained how to use it. Ironic, isn't it? But liberals still refuse to see it really is not about the weapons but about the people who are using them.
No thanks--we're heading somewhere warmer.
But one cannot actually compare Switzerland's gun culture to ours, anyway.

Oh brother; equating firearm ownership in Switzerland with an attempt to compare with the U.S. ....really?
Firstly the Swiss are a predominantly law abiding society while the U.S. .......not so much.
Secondly, firearm culture in Switzerland is based upon common sense and a willingness to enact firearm controls to maintain safety and security.
Personal carry or concealed carry are very rare and based upon logic and requirement rather than desire.
Transportation of firearm to ranges and/or hunting areas is strictly controlled with direct to and from routes carefully observed and monitored. No stopping off at the local watering hole or shopping at Walmart with weapon in car
Common sense with regard to safety of both themselves and their neighbouring countries factoring greatly into their gun controls.
Now there's an interesting concept, eh? Common sense assuming priority in your consideration of not just yourselves but of your neighbours as well.
The article you cited makes my point. In regard to the Swiss, "the culture of responsibility and safety that is anchored in society and passed from generation to generation". The gun owners that I know are extremely responsible and teach their children from a young age how to handle a gun responsibly and safely. Much to the chagrin of my more liberal friends who believe mixing pre-teen kids and guns is the height of lunacy. Now if we are talking about some people in large inner cities or the outright nut jobs we have running around in this country, "responsibility" is not a word that is in their vocabulary.
OP, No-one is forcing you to buy a gun. In fact most of us would prefer that you didn't. If I were my your next door neighbor, I would even put up a gun free zone sign in your front yard to protect you.. Just being neighborly.
Nope, no one is forcing him to buy a gun, unlike everyone being forced to buy Obamacare, on the same lines as being forced to buy a gun to put to our heads then Obama's shovel ready jobs, digging graves will come true.
