Suppose that there were a causal link between American culture and the "gun culture",

I find that a big supposition, It would be easily tested by sampling those exposed to a lot of firearms, or the culture of firearms, and those not. Just comparing immigrant populations and their level of innovation would be fairly easy, for example by your assumption immigrants from Taiwan where guns are rare would not be innovative.

Canada absurd attempts to control the media that we would never tolerate, in order to fight "Americanization". There seems to be lots of absurd attempts in America to control the media to fight liberal reporters and Disney movies. It's just a matter of which aspect of culture seems important to the groups involved.

Besides, there are lots of innovative people in Canada, One of my best stock holdings is JDSU, started and run by Canadians. There are also a higher percentage of Canadian actors and singers in the U.S. than would normally be expected by the population. No Canadian differences are more likely do to a different degree of infrastructure put into place at the time of the industrial revolution and not due to guns (other than the fact that guns represented an area of advanced manufacturing of it's day).

Your hypothesis has a low degree of coorelation.
