Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?

From the article

"For these economically insecure, irreligious white men, “the gun is a ubiquitous symbol of power and independence, two things white males are worried about,” says Froese. “Guns, therefore, provide a way to regain their masculinity, which they perceive has been eroded by increasing economic impotency.”
​

Ah, , , just as I've been saying all along,

​

Then there's this.

"A gun in the home is far more likely to kill or wound the people who live there than is a burglar or serial killer. Most of the time, according to every single study that’s ever been done about interpersonal gun violence, the dead and wounded know the people who shot them. A gun in the home makes it five times more likely that a woman will be killed by her husband. Every week in America, 136 children and teenagers are shot—and more often than not, it’s a sibling, friend, parent, or relative who holds the gun. For every homicide deemed justified by the police, guns are used in 78 suicides. As a new study published this month in JAMA Internal Medicine once again shows us, restrictive gun laws don’t prevent white men from defending themselves and their families. Instead, those laws stop them from shooting themselves and each other."
​

YET.

Republican gun ownership is about 55%, and probably not much different for people who consider themselves Libertarian. Democrats do own them as well, I believe that number is somewhere around 30%. The short: More people have them than don't, always have.

(Gun Ownership Higher Among Republicans Than Democrats)

I find it more interesting that this study focuses on white men when the largest growing sector of firearms purchasers are women of all racial backgrounds. (Well, I don't believe there is any race, but human... but that is another discussion... what people commonly mean by the term, lol)

This is more driven by politics than anything, but also a factor is white men are more likely to have the duty of protecting the nuclear family. (since they actually live with their wives, and kids) There is also the factor that being racist against white people is O.K. in liberal ideology. (as in new-liberal, aka socialism or marxism masquerading as liberal, lol) If you spend all of your liberal media resources hating on the white folks they will gun up, so get over it.

White men are leaving the Democratic party in droves and their women are following for the same reason. From Hilldabeast herself, forward to about 1:30: (RF rips off the time links, lol)

Probably a "get em while you can" motivation.

Probably a "get em while you can" motivation.

It's mostly because if you don't own a gun via the #2A, the rest of your rights are merely suggestions.

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.

No, 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.

The war on guns is really a war on white conservative masculinity. Good luck with that war mind you, because real men don't care what you think of them.

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.

Eerily how that completely describes me.
Very few other guys wear teal.

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 realizes the need to protect them would give their views any consideration?

He did have a long gun did he not.

A real man doesn't care about your feelings when his families safety or other needs are in question. They just do what they gotta do.

An admirable trait in their culture.

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