I get it about Republicans. I also get it about Southerners. That they'd be gun owners doesn't surprise me one bit. Republicans are nutjobs, and Southerners, well, is that any surprise?
However, I'd love to hear an explanation of why MEN tend to be the gun owners, and I'll tell you why I ask this question.
If guns are for PROTECTION, wouldn't women be the more likely ones to carry them?
If guns are for people who are SCARED, wouldn't women be the more likely ones to carry them?
If guns are for people who are less able to protect themselves against aggressors, wouldn't women be the more likely ones to carry them?
Why then, are men generally the gun owners?????
