All three nations are former British colonies, consisting of immigrant populations, settled at roughly the same time. All three oppressed indigenous populations. In all three, immigrants had plenty of land to spread out in. I imagine that all three share an early history where firearms were an essential tool for protection against wild animals and bandits and whatnot.
Did the fact that Americans won independence from Britain through violent revolution play a part? Was it ingrained into our national psyche at an early age that violence solves problems? Or was it a pre-existing propensity for violence that led us to revolution in a way that Canada and Australia did not?
