Every abortion clinic should have guns on hand, for example, to protect themselves from all those who want to do harm to abortion clinics and shut them down.
And, don't forget, if Trayvon Martin had been packing he would be the one in Zimmerman's shoes right now.
"Why are gun sales setting new all time records in America?"
Because people are afraid the GOP will win the White House and they want to protect themselves from an onslaught of big government knocking on their doors.
There's 400 hundred years of history as well as more than a century's worth of thought and research to support what I've written. What do you have to support your position, besides your own delusions.
Those who study, research and think about race and racism in the US already view what I have written as common knowledge. Among those of that academic circle this is a non controversial issue.
What do I have to support it besides my own delusions? Well I have your delusions for starters. I could even allow that there could be something to your interesting, albeit rather primitive theory about black penis envy. I'm sure there are white guys who go into a locker room w/ black athletes for the first time in their lives, and come out say OMG. (whether they then feel a need to purchase a gun I find doubtful).
But to ascribe this as the general motivation for gun purchases is lunacy. In the first place, as a poster noted, women have been the fastest growing segment of gun buyers in recent years. Secondly, there has been a lot of attention paid in recent years to the fact that the very idea of gun control got its start in the US thru efforts to keep blacks from getting guns. Just google gun control+racism sometime. Many of the civil rights activists of the 50's and 60's were very pro-gun. Google Robert F Williams sometime. Or read up on Condi Rice who has said "I am a Second Amendment absolutist," due to her experiences growing up in Birmingham, AL in the Bull Connor era.
"Whilst Europeans may not share the same affection for guns as some Americans, there are still a lot of people in Europe who own guns and a lot of very fine good firearms manufacturing companies in Europe."
Yes I'm aware of kindred spirits in Eu countries and actually know a few. Belgian Brownings are a legend. Mauser actions a blessing.
Still the media generated social predominance is presented as EU looks down on firearm ownership. It is only reasonable that many individuals in EU countries would be the first to appreciate gun ownership.
