As someone else linked, it’s called that because the Colt Single Action Army revolver was nicknamed as such. Colt’s slogan was some variation of this:
God created men equal, Col. Colt made them equal…
If equality is peace, then anything to enforce that would be a “peace maker.” I uh, don’t necessarily agree with that sentiment, but it was popular in the American West for a long ass time.
Reminds me of how some video games have a literal gun called “peace maker”. So stupid lol
