As a multiversal being, I can confirm Americans are not gun-welders, most of the time. However, I can not deny that they make me question how humans have gotten this far at times.
American citizens own more guns and more ammunition than the rest of the world, including their militaries, combined. If they were even a little bit trigger happy the world would really notice
Well... the stereotypes do come from the worst of the Americans. They have made and pushed that stereotype themselves. Some Americans are proud of their gun wielding, which grosses me out.
