There are definitely ridiculous people all throughout the world, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on them. We just have more people than like 95% of other countries (IIRC only China and India have more people) and those people happen to have wide access to tech, and money to do dumb shit like this.
My guess is that WWII caused pretty much everyone in Europe to experience how horrible machine guns are for both the winners and losers while it still remained a bit abstract for those in the Americas.
Also, USA hasn’t been screwed over by an arms race yet, while Europe has.

I just mean folks aren’t as gun-crazy in Europe or elsewhere as Americans. It’s odd.
