Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?

[Mindmaster]

Or was it his big gun?

Yes, we all buy our firearms because our masculinity is toxic and the firearms are an expression our penises.

I guess that's why they are so popular with women too, it must be penis envy.

 

[Revoltingest]

He was a violent man. Always beating up his cohorts. Twelve Hail Marys and a fifth of scotch should cure you.

You're thinking of Moe.

Btw in IRL, Curly (Jerome Howard) hated the violence, almost as much as did Shemp.

Odd how so many anti-gun types base their arguments in insults, sexism & racism.
The rest of the time the preach liberalism & tolerance...until it doesn't suit them.

A real man is going to do exactly whatever he needs to do for the purposes of safety of his loved ones, so what is selfish exactly about that? He'll also accept the criticisms of people outside of awareness of his situation and equally disregard them. Liberals are in the business of telling everyone how they should live, but they never can answer the why. If you ask a conservative why he owns guns he'll tell you why and whether or not you accept those reasons as valid they are for his situation. Liberals aren't even honest that their war on guns is because white conservative people with families have them. They hate families, they hate white people, and man do they hate conservatives. (or even Libertarians, for that matter) For someone coming from my perspective, I will not trust those comments because they come from a group of people who are being disingenuous about their motives in the situation. The same problem even comes to use of the term liberal which, colloquially, is synonymous with Marxism or socialism at this point. They're not honest about their intents, motives, or even their ideology so what man who happens to be white, have a family, and realize the need to protect them would give their views any concern?

You said, and i quote

"what makes them real men is they don't care what people think of what they need to do. They just do what they feel their duty is and ignore those who whine and complain or would attempt to characterize them poorly for making such decisions."

That is arrogant and selfish

Then, after the fact you come up with the protecting loved ones sob story.

Then you go into a tirade of slagging liberals.... Who mentioned liberals. Oh you did, right

How honest is all that?

So liberals hate families? When did this bit of right wing hate propaganda hit the press. I wonder if they hate their own families ot just those who lie about them?

The right wing view of liberals as Marxist is uniquely american far right propaganda, a chunk people measuring about 2.5% of the world population. The rest of humanity sees liberals as a group whos political motive is more centered on humanity than the need to carry a gun and not giving a fig what anyone thinks

It's because modern liberals aren't liberals, just pretending to be.

They don't understand that creating an environment that gives people more rights as an individual naturally leads to tolerance, reduced violence, etc. Proper classical liberals realized that these things happened automatically if you gave each person strong personal rights, so it focused on creating an economic situation of opportunity. They corrupted that message and took it to mean "force all others to be tolerant with intolerance to views that do not line up with ours", lol

It's just a complete failure to understand the concept and through ignorance becomes socialism, fascism, and totalitarianism in drag.

I find some modern liberals to be the good kind.
They even listen when conversing with us extremists.

It's not odd at all, it's an attempt at argumentation from intimidation which exposes the weakness of their positions and their hypocrisy.

For me, demonization is always strange when it's combined with ideas of persecution.

Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?

Interesting article based on various scientific studies.

Comments? Observations? Depraved rants?

This was badly done. Its all a bunch of rumor and information unavailable to the general public to criticize. We pay for the research, but we aren't allowed to read it. The article only cites the abstracts of some studies: 1 study in Texas, then it mixes in something from the UK about the UK and then finally it throws in a barely related study by a sociology department in Illinois that begins with the assumption that guns secure masculinity. Notice very little data is being discussed, regional data from a few places and not random sampled data, but lots of people are being smeared.

It's more honest than ad hominems, or strawmanning me into some archetypal conservative. (I'm not, not even a little bit.)

The liberal motive is ruling through tyranny and divisiveness, nothing more. Whatever flags they fly on issues they support are merely means to that end. The anti-gun thing is specifically because white males have them, and they need to check their privilege or something, lol.

They'll jettison any of their ideas in a hot minute because they were propaganda in the first place.

The Popeye Syndrome arrives in the 2nd post.
But it's not just white guys.
Black folk & women are into gun ownership too.
The age of Trump is producing more black gun owners
Female Gun Ownership Up in America, While Male Gun Ownership Continues to Shrink
Rising Voice of Gun Ownership Is Female
More Chinese immigrants enjoying the freedom of US gun ownership
My Chinese (ABC) bro-in-law is getting into guns too.

I wonder....
Would Popeye also tell black gun owners they have tiny penises?
I think that would turn out poorly for him.

Not that they "have" tiny penises, but that they feel they do, and therefore are prompted to compensate, just like white gunophiles.

​

Are you suggesting I have more to fear from blacks than I do whites? OR that blacks have significantly bigger penises?

​

If it's the size thing, then certainly not.

​

In any case. According to the stats. white gun owners outnumber black owners by 83% more, and males outnumber female gun owners by 185% more.

The average modern liberal doesn't line up with all of these distinctions, mind you. If they perceived the cruelty in it the public at large would reject it. Instead, they have to focus on the tolerance, injustice, inequality issue, and so on to sympathize with the borg collective.

Their only failure is in not realizing that strong individual rights are exactly what gave us the platform in this country in the first place. They're willing to trade those rights for the fore-mentioned altruistic ends, but they don't seem to fully grasp what that means.

If you have no guns your other rights are merely suggestions rather than rights. If you cannot enforce them when you have to you don't have them. This is going down in the UK, Australia, Canada, and any other country with these policies. They lose the gun rights, then the speech, then something else. They can't do anything to stop it without a bloody revolution at this point.

And this is changing.
But still no excuse for the sexism & racism.

I agree.
But there sure are different perspectives on how to balance liberty & security.

 

[Twilight Hue]

They're afraid they're going to have their right to bear arms taken away. So they stock pile now. Secondly, many are "preppers" getting ready for a societal collapse. In other words things aren't looking so good and they know it. Many minorities are doing the same. Thirdly, they just like guns and some are literally addicted to buying more guns. However, it's just "cool" right now to single out white men in America by liberals.

I'm wondering what black men will use now.

No there isn't, and I'm surprise you brought it into the discussion.

I didn't bring it in.
I addressed what was already here.

Because Obama wants to take everyone's guns away so he can impose a Muslim communist atheist government by providing universal health care for everyone!

Maybe (as my parents would say) protect ourselves from coward whites guys who can't fight. Like the ones who complain about no allowed to carry their guns everywhere....Muuuhhh guns. There are some of us who grew up knowing how to defend ourselves without weapons.

It seems that your parents gave bad advice.
Black guys would have more to fear from each other....on average.
