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.
