Why do white men have the highest rates of gun ownership?

[flvegan]

128. White male owner of guns checking in!

I live in a violent city and a violent society. I consider myself prepared, not scared. I'm bigger and stronger than 95% of anyone I'll see today, and that doesn't matter. Not really much different than having a home alarm, security cameras...or is that admitting fear as well? Is locking doors fear too? I don't carry concealed regardless of the new FL law. My guns never leave my house.

Also, as a vegan of over 20 years, but who still owns guns, I have partaken in far, far less violence than 99% of anyone else responding before lunch of any given day. I don't believe in violence, yet here we are. Is it accurate from the article to mention that CNN article and Pew survey to be of 3,930 adults, including 1,269 gun owners 6 years ago? I only looked briefly, but if so, that seems...clickbaity.

That said: Please stop generalizing. If anyone is trying to equate that being male, white and owning a gun equates somehow to being republican, try again. If it's being suggested that "white men are so scared they feel they must own guns" please, just stop.

Recap: White, male, gun owner. Has committed less violence than almost all of you today, and every other day, and every day going forward. God willing.
