A recent study in California purports to show that the public views men holding guns to be 17% taller than those holding hand tools.
It seems that the pressing need to buy unlimited numbers of guns (as in Virginia, for instance) has nothing to do with hunting or “sport”, but is all about sex toys with barrels. According to some psychologists, males in America feel they are being neutered by their females, who are better educated and have better jobs than they do. Buying a gun is a way of enhancing the ego and the illusion of manhood.
Things haven’t changed since the caveman turned up with a hairy chest, dressed in a skimpy leopard skin and wielding a club, and made off with the local maiden.
Epicureans view men with guns as 17% smaller than a rational man.
“..males in America feel they are being neutered by their famales…”
Ah! now I understand. Historically and now in modern times, males have claustrated their famales. The Chinese bound thier womens’ feet; in some African countries famales are castrated; in some Moslem countries females are covered from head to toe and forbidden many things; in many countries for many centuries females were forbidden education.. these are some examples.
It must be that men ‘know’ at some level that women are, at the very least equal, if not in some ways superior. SO becaue they had the sexual, economic and physical power they had to claustrate their famales. If they cannot do it in traditional ways then they stalk about with guns.
FOOLS.
There is little more incomprehensible than the American gun culture. To foreigners it totally negates the “City on a Hill. ” trope. Instead it presents to the outsider the aspect of a country which civilisation has passed by. Arguments against this point of view?
