The ‘common knowledge’ south of the border is that the Snow Mexicans are a heavily armed; but mysteriously peaceful people, who offer a thought-provoking critique of our own society by having lots, and lots of guns; but not treating spree killing as a recreational activity.
So, lt_nemo having some guns (preferably ones that look very ‘hunting’-y, not scary military gear, for maximum agreement with stereotypes) is OK; but his rageful tendencies confuse those of us who expect him to exhibit the mysterious politeness of the northern lands.
The essence of Real American Firearms stereotypes isn’t so much in sheer quantity (though we do agree, on that point only, with Uncle Joe that ‘Quantity has a quality all its own’); but in gleefully unhinged fascination and unnerving willingness to use in anger…
