    Default According to science, gun-humpers have feelings of inadequecy

    ...And are fearful of black people.
    According to science anyway...
    Obviously, these are statistically significant trends, but do not imply all gun humpers are bigots and mediocre losers.

    Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?

    Research suggests it's largely because they're anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market and beset by racial fears


    So, who is buying all these guns—and why?

    The short, broad-brush answer to the first part of that question is this: men, who on average possess almost twice the number of guns female owners do. But not all men. Some groups of men are much more avid gun consumers than others. The American citizen most likely to own a gun is a white male—but not just any white guy. According to a growing number of scientific studies, the kind of man who stockpiles weapons or applies for a concealed-carry license meets a very specific profile.

    These are men who are anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market, and beset by racial fears. They tend to be less educated. For the most part, they don’t appear to be religious—and, suggests one study, faith seems to reduce their attachment to guns. In fact, stockpiling guns seems to be a symptom of a much deeper crisis in meaning and purpose in their lives. Taken together, these studies describe a population that is struggling to find a new story—one in which they are once again the heroes.

    Coming from a creation who know nothing of why there are varied calibers of firearms, or their uses.
    Yep, that suggested science isn't science, it's simply one fool's opinion, and other fools believe it.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Looks like you hit a nerve with this thread.

    Remember how retired ppl used to volunteer (and still do in some areas) to be crossing guards at public schools? Maybe some of these patriots with their well-humped guns should be putting their bullets where their braggart mouths are and volunteering at their local schools to patrol inside and out and keep out shooters. After all, if you're going to brag on an anonymous politics forum about your firepower, your skill, your expertise, and your bravery -- shouldn't you be putting all that to good use for the good of the nation? And wouldn't this help keep saner ppl from wanting to take your beloved bang-bangs away?

    And they say there is no such thing as a stupid question. Sonny boy, you just proved that axiom wrong.

    When, or if anyone tries to take what's mine, I will put those skills to good use. Hopefully, you'll be leading the "charge."
