I don't doubt that more Protestants own guns than Catholics in America, but it has very little to do with theology and a great deal to do with culture. Catholicism in America is largely an urban religion, and even rural and small town Catholicism in America is largely located outside the South.

American Catholic attitudes (including the idiotic anti-gun diatribes of the American Bishops) reflect this cultural dichotomy. The same probably goes for the attitude toward guns of Orthodox Jews in America.

Rebellion and independent thinking go deepest in Protestant multi-generational Americans. We reject the doctrine of Papal Infallibility and of Kings. Acceptance of Papal infallibility is only a step away from acceptance of human perfection and authority.
