Because in the US, guns are so sacred that the guy who has one has moral authority by simple virtue of having one.

Well, in this case it’s not about the gun as such. It’s just probabilistically true that the guy with the gun is more likely to win. But if the other guy throws a knife at him, or if the gun misfires and meanwhile the opponent creatively uses a machete to carve him a new figure, they would still come under SYG protection, despite using other kinds of deadly force.
