Guns should be more tightly regulated in this ridiculous country, but I like guns. However, I don't make anything my entire personality, including guns. It's a sign of a weak mind.
Tattooing ARs on your eyebrows is a pretty good sign that guns are your whole personality.
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 think a lot of it is just reactionary thinking to gun control, exacerbated by the people pushing gun control doing a terrible fucking job of it and feeding the outrage loop.
Someone pushes some dumb law that makes it so only the rich can own a certain accessory or whatever, gun nuts get big mad, it solves nothing and school shootings continue because it did nothing but annoy gun owners while everyone refuses to address the socioeconomic and cultural roots of domestic terrorism in the first place because that's dangerously close to S O C I A L I S M (aka the government doing stuff)
Toss this all into a general culture that views overthrowing an unjust government as like, the coolest thing you can do, because it is, and you get loser grandpas who maybe once got to be a slave soldier in Vietnam getting gun tattoo eyebrows.
Well, disguising the lack of eyebrows with a tattoo is not a bad solution. However, it is unclear why the choice was made in favour of an image of an automatic carbine.

I didn’t think we should tattoo people with symbols who are mentally disabled, but then again I’m fine with them doing it to themselves

Those are M16s, ARs don't have carry handles, not that it really matters.

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

To a degree, but also I don't regularly see old men with any kind of eyebrow tattoos in Europe supporting, say, cars or woodworking etc.

I don't know, have you seen the tattoos on Salvadorian gang members? Now imagine some of them surviving till they are 80.
