Not exactly. I can see why you'd say that, but Americans weren't gun nuts until around the 1910s to 1920s. At that point the right wing decided they needed a better red herring than the Mexican Border, and started pushing the 2nd amendment bullshit they've been on ever since.

Interestingly, gun control laws were implemented to keep guns out of the hands of minorities. Gun control is literally racist.
