Reading this I was thinking that's a damn good point, I for one hadn't thought of it this way. Tbh I hadn't seen it as anything other than Americans love for weapons which is actually how many see America. It is seen as a militaristic state with the people in love with their guns more than anything else. Now whether this is a true perception or not, is a different matter of course.
To liberally paraphrase Tolkien:
"I love not the rifle for its accuracy, nor the shotgun for its power, nor the pistol for its round-the-clock readiness. I love only that which they defend".
