- American Gun drew on the real experiences of a friend from the Chicago school district, who told the writers that students brought guns to school not to use them on campus, but because of the dangerous neighborhoods they lived in or walked through to attend classes.
- American Gun took two and a half years to finance, and its central idea came from a "Column One" article in the Los Angeles Times.
