>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,”
I'm pretty sure black men just have illegal firearms. Women rely on men and society for protection. Men understand they must defend themselves and their family if all else fails.

Honestly you people laugh at gun hoarders, but you really dont have enough guns yourselves. The average person uses 1 gun per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 guns a week. Over 100 a month. Guns will be worth its weight in gold in a few months, because everyone uses them.
Isaac Bennett
A lot of gun owners are historians. Who else would buy 100+ year old guns that may not even be safe to fire anymore even IF the ammo for them weren't out of production itself? When's the last time you saw some .44RF at Walmart?
Julian Howard
Because I can. Sorry your God-given rights aren’t protected.
Benjamin Gutierrez
Wal-Mart doesn't even carry .223/556 anymore.
William Williams
But they still carry .30-06, lol. Anti-gunners are braindead.
Kevin Nelson

100yo guns work perfectly fine. And a lot of calibers are old as fuck. 9mm, .38 special, 50 cal, 30-06, 8mm Mauser, 7.62×54 etc are all over 100 years old.
Sebastian Mitchell
He's clearly specifically referring to 100 year old guns that aren't reliably safe to fire, not all 100 year old guns. Shit, I'd be more confident firing my dad's Sharps rifle than half the discount ARs people are making these days.
>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,” other sources of meaning and coping when facing hard times i.e. Depending on white men with guns

now this is a good copypasta

Don't worry Soros, they'll share the ammo with you.

only white guys notify Big Brother that they're armed. blacks and latinos aren't so dumb to tell the Man about their gats

Take them away. Once they unarmed we whoop they ass. It's a known fact that white men always lose street fights to blacks.

>white people are half the population >surprised half the weapons are in white people's hands >"THESE PEOPLE ARE RACIST HOARDERS" >"THEY ARE INSECURE AND HAVE SMOL PPS, BUT THE BLACKS THAT HAVE GUNS ARE NORMAL"
we're talking about 3% of the population who are white males (not all the white male population)
Jeremiah Thompson
Scientific American is a fake journal pushing fake science. If it were a real journal it would publish studies explaining why 5% of America's population commits 75% of America's gun crimes.

The real question ought to be why everyone else isnt. You can never have access to too much destructive capability, because people behave exactly as badly as they think wont get them BTFO. Humans are tool using primates and every bit as savage, nothing will change that, attempts to do so just empower one group of monkey to easily brutalize everyone else for their own primitive motivations.
Aaron Lee
Boomers think buying guns and ammo and randomly shooting the air while yelling "freedomz" is gonna cure them of the disease.

Sebastian Martin
See: There are a lot of examples around that aren't 90+%, you know, and I'm not talking about gunbroker "90%".
Ask the Taliban as they kick yet another Empire out of Afghanistan.

>le 54% White males and their families are half of the mutt kingdom. If anything they should have a bit more than 54%.

You would bring a first to a nigger gun fight

You could write the exact same article with the title "Why don't blacks care about protecting their families?"
Cameron Cooper
So, only 6'+ males in their prime years with combat training and no health problems/injuries have a right to security of the person? How very humane of you.

>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 Shouldn't most gun owners be white given demographics? What kind of "researchers" can't even do basic math?
