I am a gun hobbyist myself, and my family even deals in firearms. This hero fantasy stuff is pure american cringe.
Going off that though, can't any stats be manipulated for a political goal? Furthermore, being armed is more a means of both deterrent and means to protect one's self. I don't know where you got "hero fantasy", nor did anyone mention it.
