>Over the past few years, far more women have favored banning semi-automatic weapons. A full two-thirds of women favor a ban compared to only 48% of men, according to a 2013 Pew study. Indeed, women tend to prioritize gun restrictions over gun rights generally, unlike their male counterparts. Couple this with the fact that the vast majority of mass shooters are also men, and a pattern emerges. America’s gun problem can’t be distilled down to one single issue, of course, but it’s clear that on top of crime and fears of terrorism and insufficient mental health resources and the Second Amendment, America’s gun problem has something to do with America’s masculinity problem.
>As Alankaar Sharma, a social worker and researcher, tells Quartz, “Possessing a gun is considered by many men, if not most, as a straightforward way of subscribing to dominant masculinity.” In his view, the patriarchal system, which privileges a certain set of masculine behaviors, values, and practices, provides men with “a clear and justifiable reason to own guns.” It cements their identity as masculine men.

>Gun """"problem""""
>Masculinity """"problem""""
Wow most chicks hate guns. no shit who woulda thought that such an obvious fact would be considered worth doing a study on, I'm sure in the past they have hated swords and clubs as well. the reason is a weapon is responsibility, it is essentially having the ability to kill easily and refraining from using it needlessly.
>Not only does civilian gun use fail to protect people, there is a direct relationship between gun ownership in America and gun violence. John Cassidy at The New Yorker is right: Americans’ rush to buy more guns is a bit of “collective insanity.” But it’s a mistake to think about the trend in logical terms in the first place. Buying a gun isn’t a rational decision; it’s an emotional one
Friendly reminder that liberalism is a mental disorder.

If women want to restrict rights so badly, I say we oblige them.
Their right to vote goes first of course.

If people have a problem with guns they should just take a class on how to use them
funny because women and homosexuals are the largest growing demographics of firearms owner. the point being, the second amendment is for everyone. defending yourself is a human right

>owning guns is a part of a patriarchal system
Considering the biggest benefactors for having a gun would be a woman due to lesser body strength, this is completely contradictory to the shit they're trying to say.
I don't see how you could be pro-feminist but anti-gun.
>>28701159
>Couple this with the fact that the vast majority of mass shooters are also men, and a pattern emerges.
The vast majority of violent criminals of any variety are men. It's irrational for a woman to oppose her own right to the most effective means in existence for day-to-day protection against Y chromosomes.
Aren't women and gays some of the fastest growing gun demographics? It's like the kinda people that might be attacked or threatened want a way to defend themselves.

Owning a gun gives you a measure of independence. Independence leads to less reliance on the State. For feminism to destroy the "Patriarchy" a strong State must supplant men as primary provider and guardian of women. Therefore, while individual women may suffer from being unable to defend themselves, the "Greater Good" is served by eliminating guns and fostering reliance on the State. Plus all the defenseless women add to the statistics to use against the Patriarchy. It's a win/win for feminist-socialists.

You people are part of the problem. You're just giving the feminazis more ammo.
Instead of bitching about how women shouldn't have been given the right to vote and won't date you, how about you do something towards solving the fucking problem, and try to get more women interested in the sport. Take a female relative or friend, assuming you have any, plinking with a .22.

>all this stupid macho bullshit is actually pretty annoying
Personally, I do not consider anyone a true feminist unless they are pro-guns for women. Women need guns even more than men do given their inferior physical strength.
So when I see anyone arguing for women not having guns, or as is this case, women somehow being in the right for wanting to ban guns, I instantly know they are full of shit.
It's a black/hispanic problem and a totalitarian problem.
Take out the blacks and spics from the gun crime equation and it will drop between 80 and 90% according to your definition of spics.
Get fucked "liberals", vote Trump.

Hmm, reading the article, there seems to be this sense in the way they talk. Like they talk about men like cattle samples, and the way they talk about how you should let someone else take care of everything for you too is prominent. I feel like I'm talking to someone that used to get beat up in elementary school, like a handful of guys dweebish and wimpy, who portray it like it's the next step in male evolution, to apologize and have sit downs and cry over the toilet seat being up.
I can't do it. I just can't, it feels good to be a guy, it feels right, and I am not gonna apologize because I exist.
Rule: Do not post threads about gun control. They belong on /pol/.
part of the problem is that most girls don't like getting dirty or going outside.
behold, two things being a gun owner usually involve
I can totally see how some people, usually guys, who own guns let it go to their heads.
I think 'masculinity' is somethings guys can go wrong doing, and guns can tie into that. but I know that's the exception and I hate sweeping generalizations.
Only one answer, more gays, girls, and traps should be armed. Also, more mental health coverage is something I would like to see.
There's being manly, then there's being a 'I'm a man!' tryhard, who is nothing but a douche.
If a man likes pink and cartoons and ice cream, all power to him.
>>28701752
Friendly reminder; women are idiots, they are the reason we had prohibition and without that there wouldn't have been the war on drugs
They also weaken the military by demanding inclusion while being incapable of performing and they are limited in their shooter abilities, if you take a woman shooting make sure its a 22 because she won't be able to hold anything else steady for more than 30 sec
