It has to do with history; We wouldn't have our other freedoms if Colonial American citizens didn't band up into a militia and successfully revolt against the British Empire, so the right to bear arms goes hand-in-hand with many of our other rights

We also revolted against the Spaniards and, in general terms, we're not half the gunnuts America projects its image of.
Of course, we have our own set of cultural issues (mostly originated from the fact it was Spain and not England the one colonizing us).
