>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,”

That's some top level leaps of logic.

Why does everyone think collection something that wont expire or takes a long time to go bad is a problem? They dont think it is a problem if people have more than a few fishing poles, cars, shoes, games, coins, stamps, baseball cards, sexbots, tvs, cooking pots, etc.. It is almost like they have an agenda of something specific to deeply look for and try to limit.
I feel vulnerable that I cant protect my family from someone who has a gun if all I have is a baseball bat or my fist. I honestly never understood that until now. Whoever wrote this is an absolute genius.

I have never, in my 5 or so years of focus on public discourse and politics, seen any publication that is not right of center actually acknowledge why the second amendment exists (i.e. to win a civil war to save the nation). Like in many areas, they use outright censorship --by omission, if not explicitly-- to shape the dialogue. It is sad to see a (((science))) magazine become a weapon of censorship and misinformation. Until people learn to look at reality clearly, they will have no fucking clue how the world works, what people are doing and why, or what to do next (i.e. to actually strategize and become more powerful in society).
>real men fight barehanded not at all, faggot. shiteating sodomites and their nigger masters do so because they are obsessed with violence, real men use guns to solve the problem of faggots like you and leave the littler things behind.
If you don't own a gun in this day and age, you are failing. If you don't know why, you are lost.
Leo Cruz
Could it be because of the racial animosity directed towards white people coming ftom the brown people whose population keeps growing in the U.S. Also when people see tougher gun laws on the horizon they start stockpiling.

Scientific American has been nothing but a left wing shill organization for many decades. How do they explain the large growth in women owning firearms within the last decade. Relating everything to penis size, only implies that the people doing so, constantly think about nothing but cock. They are depraved faggots and cum dumpsters.
Grayson Ramirez
Not particular to guns, it's plain hoarding, they like the gun narrative but it's bullshit, if they were really prepping they would buy a gazillion guns, they'd buy a few and a lot more ammo, they also would be a bunch of out of shape fat fucks if they were actually interested in being prepared, they'd get fit to be ready for action, not tied to needing to be on a dozen medications from a bunch of associated illnesses.
Nolan Jones
The biggest mistake liberals ever made was the 1994 awb with the sunset provision. I remember it because i was pissed i couldn't get the rifle my friend had. Then it expired. Every gun owner who had been burned by the first ban stocked the fuck up. Every time it's possible another one gets passed you make sure you got all you want before hand. They fucked up huge, because they gave us a taste of the ban and then let freedom back in.

Imagine living in a time where (pseudo)“scientific” studies belittle white men and it’s publicly and socially acceptable, yet even any joke or remark or accidental comment that could be considered offensive to other groups can get you crucified. Then imagine thinking there’s no such thing as a liberal bias in the mainstream media.

Isaac Rivera
There is no federal legal limit on how many guns a person can own in America. There really isn't a whole lot of point to such a limit, as one person can only really use one gun at a given time, so having multiple guns doesn't make them any more dangerous. However, different guns are used for different purposes.
Brandon Torres

Every sane and reasonable man who lives around minorities will own a gun. Any sane black surrounded by whites should own one legally as well. If I was black and surrounded by whites I wouldn't trust them either.

Protip: most gun owners have many guns of varying sizes. And yet, you antigun folk choose to obsess over our dicks.

People have every right to kill them,selves if they want to. It's cowardly and shitty but they have that right.
We don't restrict the rights of free people in the name of protecting crazies from themselves. Also you just admitted you want to ban all guns you fucking kike. Because banning AR-15s wont change a god damned thing about suicides. People kill themselves with handguns and shotguns. not magazine fed semi-automatic rifles.
it literally spells it out. White men are taking personal responsibility for themselves and their families; whereas women and non-whites complacently expect the federal government to look after them
But my point is that removing guns is no guarantee that those people will then not kill themselves.
Shall we ban ropes and razors too?
Simply banning the tool a person uses to commit suicide doesn't remove the urge to commit the act. It's sort of treating the symptom not the affliction. It may make it a little harder, which may cause some people to think twice. I seriously doubt it will save as many lives as you think it will.
Though I guess there is one way to find out.

Nathaniel Sullivan
Also, based on shitty stupid laws, it basically forces you to buy multiple guns to do certain things. For example, the NFA has dumb barrel length and stock restrictions. I needed to buy another stripped AR-15 lower to build as a "pistol" (and/or "firearm" depending on the configuration) since I originally built one as a rifle. This is necessary to avoid needing a tax stamp for a short barrel rifle. Plus, this article could be counting AR-15 lowers as individual guns, which are generally tiny little $40 pieces.

>if someone wants to die they will die. Wrong. Most suicides are spontaneous and most survivors express regret after the attempt. If the means available for spontaneous suicides are highly lethal, the rates go up. This is why it's best not to let people buy sleeping pills in boxes of 1000 or have handguns sitting by their beds.
Same argument applies. Vulnerable people deserve protection, especially military veterans with depression and other temporary mental health troubles.
And the bigger the dick the lower your IQ more likely will be. See the correlation in society? BBC= Double digit IQ.
Jacob Gomez
>But my point is that removing guns is no guarantee that those people will then not kill themselves. Reducing access to guns reduces the rate of successful suicides. Some will try by other means that are less consistently lethal, which means more people will survive.
>Wrong. Wrong. if someone wants to die they will die. you can toss a word salad and cry all you want but its not your life to force them to live, and its not my consideration or concern when i go make another purchase.
personal responsibility and agency is good thing to have. and if someone wants to use that agency to off themselves then so be it.
Expect more ramp-up of portraying all white Americans in the MSM as racists, christians, racist christians, and gun-owning racist christians are a RED FLAG threat to our democracy.
you can open carry in your own home you pussie fag. But you should have a gun in every room.
