Are gun owners really tougher, braver, and more masculine than non-gun owners?


Yet another simpering whine from the usual paranoid gun-haters, trying to pretend gun owners claim to be something they'd never claimed to be? And then trying to bash the gun owners for it?

You guys need some new material. This one is SO old and tired.

A gun is a tool. Does a screwdriver make someone more manly? How about a hair curler... that's a tool too!

Why do gun haters divide the world into gun owners and non-gun owners anyway?

It's hard to answer the question but the desire to defend yourself and your family and not rely on the police or government is a masculine trait. Relying on others, such as the government, is a feminine trait or outlook.

Hunting is a masculine activity.

I think the above zeros in on most gun owners.

Real, brave men and women only need guns in dire situations. Some not even then. And they don't use guns to intimidate others, waving them around like a lunatic with a giant pe*is.

This isin't about gun rights, I support the 2nd amendment and don't support Feinstein's proposal to ban "assault weapons" Keep all your guns and high capacity magazines, buy 100 more if you can afford it.



Bill Maher Subject Cojones American Males Lack Thereof - YouTube
I have always wondered why Maher laughs at what he says. I wonder if it could be that he finally realizes that his writers have done something he thought funny.

Since he says that the Pentagon can't get as many guns as they would like to have I can't wait to see what he says about DHS ordering 7500 of those assault weapons to use for personal defense. Maybe they should share with the Pentagon since they aren't supposed to need protection from us.

Most of the people I have seen linking guns to masculinity come from the far left side where you come from.

Those are the words of progressives who want to take all our guns away. I hope they don't cry too hard once that happens and they see why it had to happen.

Someone posted a photoshop image of Obama shooting a rifle while wearing high heels and women's shorts and you said this
