Social science is not science as properly understood

Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?

Everyone I know that has a bunch of guns? Either they have different guns for different game, or they just like shooting guns

I do know a guy who is convinced the end of the world is coming, and he wants to be ready.

I don't know who they sampled, but I would wager that I know more white gun owners.

According to a growing number of scientific studies, the kind of man who stockpiles weapons or applies for a concealed-carry license meets a very specific profile.


What is considered stockpiling?

I can think of several specific profiles that own multiple guns that most likely were not included on this data inclusion.

Then your line of thinking is all fricked up.

that’s a short sighted point and so is the OP. Straight white men have always and will always be the primary market for firearms and regardless of what you think that has very little to do with “being afraid of the world we live in”

Such as what?
Anyone who responds with a question or lack of insults or aggressive commentary.

That is kind of up to you though.

I would hope you would hold yourself to a higher standard.

Again, that is up to you though.

The benefit of anonymity is that how you are viewed on here is irrelevant.

Personal attacks and opinions don’t matter, and if you take them as personal, it is an aspect of this website’s impact that should be re-evaluated.

Good grief. This is like a back person walking up to a white guy... calling him a racist piece of isht, hen saying “see I told you” when the guy punches him in he mouth.

When you provoke people, and they respond, you’ve only proven they were provoked.

I legit want to better evaluate the gun issue in this country and you clowns think I’ve become some idiot who flings shite at the walls. What in the hell happened to actually being able to reevaluate positions?

I actually do still like this board, and there are some of you that are still fun to have a decent conversation with.

Go check out the video of the PC debate in the last thread I started. Michael Eric Dyson basically does this for an hour rather than actually debate the actual topic.

Uh, why do you think the Russian ads during the election were so effective? They targeted people based on their language and post history.
I don’t think they were actually that effective, but that is a whole other topic.

I will agree that, to a certain extent, your stance has merit, but it is a much smaller grouping, IMO.

Taking offense to being called a racist and becoming angry in response wouldn’t be a sufficient reasoning to believe that that individual is racist.

Neither would taking offense to the commentary offered in the OP.

What percentage of those who respond negatively to being painted, well, negatively do you believe are truly as presented by the paper?

What is the gun crime rate of the "White Men Stockpiling Guns"? I'm curious as to how t statistically significant that is
Probably quite low, but that would be a different study.

I own two shotguns: one gauge for dove and one for quail. I own two rifles, for different game. I own two handguns: one for the house and one for the truck.

This study is about the guys who own two gun-safes full of weapons. That sort of obsessive-compulsive hoarding is interesting and worthy of study.

You should pick better source material.

Sure it is.

Both contend that a negative character aspect resulting in a subsequent negative reaction is enough evidence to make a judgement call on the individual’s character as a whole.

Guns have never been harder to get than now. I also think it’s silly to blame “guns” for teen shootings when we have an entire genre of “first person shooter” games.

Kids are getting the idea that shooting up a venue is a good idea. But that idea has come a long after guns were invented.



If you don't think that first person shooters are a factor you sure picked the most fricked up way possible to voice that opinion.

Perhaps you can elaborate on your previous comments about first person shooter video games? You thought it pertinent to bring them up in the other thread. Please tell us why.
