re: Study: White men have guns due to feelings of inadequacy and fear of black people

Among the works cited in the article is a 2017 study by two Baylor sociologists who plotted gun owners on a “gun empowerment scale.” They found that the people who were “most emotionally and morally attached to their guns” were 65 percent male and 78 percent white.

According to science, the average gun owner is a white man without much education who is worried about providing for his family and who is afraid of black people.

science doesn't determine such things.

Crazy stuff.

I'm honestly only surprised that 1 out 6 was white. It's usually 1 out of 25 or so.

That isn’t science.

And “sociology” isn’t a science.

It's a blog using loose sociology information, it's definitely not science

Science is the ultimate arbiter


Science was created by white males to oppress women and peoples of color

Guns are tight

Is that a picture of Ted Nugent?

Yep.

Guy has a high school diploma, attended a community college, is a multi-millionaire, a radio and TV celebrity with his own shows on both, wrote a NY Times Bestseller and is published in over 20 other publications, sits on a national Board of Directors (NRA), is a major political celebrity and does numerous paid speaking engagements every year to different organizations. But they use his photo to describe a poor uneducated white male who fears black people. WTF?

quote:

---

Because they're scared of black people

See. Who says we can't find common ground?

Some sideways shooting thug that has a gun he has never practiced shooting and is more likely to jam than fire worries me less than a hillbilly with a sniper rifle. Signed... random white guy.

Well let's see,which group is responsible for half the murders in the US while being only 13% of the population?

and there you have it
