I mean, it is the same on a macro level: With the US it's always an arms race and no coincidence that the US is as much an outlier when it comes to military spending or the amount of nuclear weapons. There is no situation conceivable where you'd ever need 7000 of them, but since Russia has about that many ... And the response du jour is trying to bully other countries into spending more on weaponry and "defense" as if that would solve anything.
The difference here is that Guns don't really serve the same purpose of being in support of the fight against an(y) enemy, so you make a mental leap well documented in here.
