when it comes down to it you can stereotype a country, but the people in it sometimes deviate from the stereotypes, especially in a country as large as the one we're currently discussing. if anything a stereotype for most European countries is going to be closer to reality because the area you're making a general statement for is dramatically smaller.

In the late 1700's what is now known as 'American English' was 'proper' English, so in a way American is in fact old English.
Most of America has a love of guns, and of war, as evidenced by the NRA's ability to block any gun controls that would prevent further massacres
