They left Dreadi and a bunch of others out, and they missed and the article is pure opinion bullshit, based on no science at all and the research was just made up bunk. But other than that, the article is made up garbage.

The last paragraph of the article begins with this quote from Angela Stroud:
“Ridicule of working-class white people is not helpful”

And yet, the entire article is basically a hit-piece against white males. The conclusions the “researchers” jump to vis-a-vis the supposed racism of white males are astonishing, as is the manner in which they completely ignored the inner-city gun culture and violence crisis, which occurs primarily in minority communities. Finally, it’s really tiring to hear about how guns are more likely to be used in a suicide than in a justifiable homicide with no acknowledgment that often the deterrent effect of a gun is enough to stop a criminal - even if the trigger isn’t pulled.

I’m glad she did this study. I had no idea I was a racist and feared loosing my job to minorities. I guess my wife has been lying to me all these years about liking guns as well. Wait, I got guns because I felt inadequate about protecting my family? I wonder why I started getting them long before I was ever married or in a relationship. Crap! I have to change my whole way of life and start thinking completely different. I don’t even know myself. Thank God this woman did the study.

I had trouble reading this study. It is so wrong I was amazed.

SciAm has been a rag for years and only getting worse.

American Scientist is a bit better. Science News just cuts to the chase and gives references - sometimes it's better to read the source materials yourself.


Just for fun let's play along. One explaination for the preponderance of white (we are playing along) firearm ownership is the racist gun control laws have been successful at keeping non-whites disarmed.

Convenient of this 'author' to ignore the fastest grown segment of the firearms market - it's not men.

And a personal anecdote - the person I know who owns the most firearms is Japanese. When personal experience runs counter to the narrative it does matter. How can I believe propositions that run counter to my experience? I need to see a great preponderance of evidence to the contrary to sway my own experience. I'm biased like that - I think we all are.

Perfect example of why we no longer fund the CDC to do 'unbiased, scientific research' on gun violence. Basically left wing propaganda under the guise of a 'scientific study'.

Does this mean we qualify as victims under the leftist umbrella? Will they build us ranges paid for by public funds and supply us with free ammo to sustain our addictions? Perhaps free guns as well as some of us are financially disadvantaged and cannot afford all the guns we need.

PS
Glock owners are racist while 1911 owners are not. The data is clear on this point.

What if you own both? Do they cancel each other out?

I no longer fear losing my job. Is that because I own guns or I identify as Gutamalan?

Bipolar mental instability is a thing.

Generally being conflicted is a normal part of human existence.

Besides, every one knows the only real guns are wheel guns.
