During the times when there were quite a bit of Native Americans still living in the US, people, including military leaders traded guns for some of the things that the tribes had. The Native Americans had not seen or used a gun before and this was much better than the weapons they were using, so they took on using guns as part of their everyday life. Which is also why there were so many Native American revolts against the "White men" otherwise known as the commmon citizen back then.
