>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
>Since the 2008 election of President Obama, the number of firearms manufactured in the U.S. has tripled, while imports have doubled. This doesn’t mean more households have guns than ever before—that percentage has stayed fairly steady for decades. Rather, more guns are being stockpiled by a small number of individuals. Three percent of the population now owns half of the country’s firearms, says a recent, definitive study from the Injury Control Research Center at Harvard University.
>“We found that white men who have experienced economic setbacks or worry about their economic futures are the group of owners most attached to their guns,” says Froese. “Those with high attachment felt that having a gun made them a better and more respected member of their communities.”
>That wasn’t true for women and non-whites. In other words, they may have suffered setbacks—but women and people of color weren’t turning to guns to make themselves feel better. “This suggests that these owners have other sources of meaning and coping when facing hard times,”
when did it become socially acceptable to group and marginalize white people based on nothing but their skin color?
Cooper Torres
Under Obama there was a big "scare" of a weapons ban so therefore people bought what they could. Plus whites in the US are descendants of pioneers, and frontiersmen and we still have a culture based on those things. White men, we're not scared of shit, but what's the big deal brown people? Why are you scared of white men owning guns?
Jacob James
I was gonna say, half sounds like a pittance. I mean white people are still a majority.

>it doesn't affect me so I have no problem with that That should be the liberal motto, I hope anyone who thinks like this gets gang raped and murdered slowly desu
Most gun owners are for "law and order" and support "thin blue line/ blue lives matter", etc. They forget the police and the government are their adversary.
>Research suggests it's largely because they're anxious about their ability to protect their families Now why would they feel that? >almonds activated Maybe we need more articles singling out white people and pitting them against literally every other race to determine why white people are the problem here.
this vid is an excellent example of why training is so important. Four guns, not one handled proficiently. At that range all my shots would have been center of mass.
She killed one, and I believe the accomplices were tried for their murder due to that nifty state law kek
Leo Rodriguez
Yeah, but believe it or not that woman killed one of them, and they hit nothing but toilet paper and drywall. It looks like her husband was the one with better training, she just got to the gun first.
Hudson Evans
do you know what collecting is? most of these people will never shoot these guns because they're too nice.
William Murphy
So... Shitskins hoard the other half? How is this worthy of discussion?
Cooper Gomez
Dragon Man is a badass. Probably accounts for 25% of the privately owned weapons in the US. The Discovery Channel (or TLC, maybe) were filming a documentary about him but his wife got hit with some shrapnel from a stunt explosion so it was never released.

1. Overly restrictive gun laws, so much so that it unduly burdens 2A rights, are retarded, because criminals will not follow the law anyways. >b-but schizo incels will shoot up a school 2. Schizo incels, and criminals in general, will think twice before attempting to use a firearm to commit a crime (or just commit any crime for that matter) if they know that there's a good chance that the stranger next to him is packing. Most criminals are cowards. >b-but we should make it harder for schizo incel retards to get guns 3. Restrictive gun laws are a band aid to manage the symptom instead of the disease, and that disease is shitty parenting. Instead of acknowledging that parents raised entitled little shits and churned out literal human garbage, restrictive gun laws instead punishes normal human beans who raised decent children

No, but it is needed because you faggy sissy wytebois allowed your representatives to fuck you in the asshole and take away your guns.

The left used to be the right before they switched sides.

>“We found that white men who have experienced economic setbacks or worry about their economic futures are the group of owners most attached to their guns,”
Sounds like they're the biggest group with some common sense. In an economic disaster, having a gun would be a very legitimate form of self defence, especially now that the country is 40% non white.
> >That wasn’t true for women and non-whites. In other words, they may have suffered setbacks—but women and people of color weren’t turning to guns to make themselves feel better.
I'd feel fine about my economic future if I completely relied on the government for gibs too. White people actually have to work and depend on their jobs to keep their family well off.

I gotta give minecraft a try again. Sounds like they've added lots of cool stuff lately.

That's a kike
Justin Flores
I get involved in road rage incidents every other time I leave the house. One time I was returning from an 8am dental cleaning and had someone following and honking at me because I didn't yield for his turn when I was going straight. So yeah, I fully expect people to be killing each other in a societal collapse.
Jaxon Anderson
Hell ya. We know they are fucking up and fucking us over. Civil war 2.0. Guerrilla war on the (((bankers)))

Good luck finding one. Most Romanians fight barehanded. It would be a close fight.

Uh... why would a person seeking to kill you with a gun agree to a fistfight, retard?

The inefficiency in this video is making me cringe bro. How many bullets does it take for a nog to kill another nog.
Landon Nelson
They can keep the gun. Not that it would help them too much.
I doubt it.

He that is afraid, will be saved because prepared, in all possible worst case scenarios.
>I'll get a handgun to conceal carry >I'll get a bolt action rifle to hunt deer >I'll get a 22 to plink, kill small critters, and teach my kid to shoot >I'll get a shotgun to hunt >I'll get an AR-15 for home defense and the whole "muh tyranny" thing >I'll get this surplus WW2 rifle because I like history >I'll get this surplus WW2 handgun because I like history >I'll get this older revolver because I wanna larp as cowboy >I'll get this lever gun because I wanna larp as cowboy >I'll get this modern revolver because I like wheel thingy There's reasons I can think of off the top of my head for personally wanting to own at least 10 guns. I don't get why people fill their room with funko pops but whatever.
Also, I'd like to add, that how many guns a person has is irrelevant if they never use them. Overwhelming number of gun owners, like 99% never shoot anyone. So your study or "statistics" are irrelevant, and the tone of the article seems to suggest theres something wrong with these people, which is clearly not the case.
