Tag: Gun Culture 2.0

At First Glance

At a glance, my father looks like the last guy who’d ever want a gun. He is Jewish, an immigrant, a politically liberal city dweller. He didn’t grow up around guns. Most of all, he believed America needed stricter gun control laws. In fact, on many occasions, my father had referred to gun owners as crazy. But I had spent the previous five years studying American gun culture, and I had seen first hand that my father’s position was not so unusual. [More]

Go ahead and make my points for me.

If your father had a clue, he’d be the first guy to want a gun.

With the newsraper of record backing off of confiscation demands and grudgingly mentioning (but not accepting) self-defense utility, I’m starting to sense a pattern here, like with our bud G. Anteus. The grabbers are betting on SCOTUS taking ARs off the table (for now) and are setting up the field for a legislative fallback agenda until such time as they can oust Republican majorities and get back on plan.

Your Friend Across the Aisle

Stephen Cooper, a Satanist biological male who identifies as a woman named Katrina DeVille and is running as a Democratic Socialist in the 2026 primary for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, has been forced to delete a campaign-related video showing him at a gun range shooting at targets that included President Donald Trump. [More]

I’m confused by all the condemnation. Shouldn’t we be celebrating gun owner diversity?

Only If They FAFO

Suddenly I found myself wondering if I should write this story at all. If doing so would put my sources—gun-loving trans people in Trump’s America—in danger. [More]

That’s entirely on them.

Tell me again how “diversity” is a big win for “our side,” as opposed to just some leftist sympathizer trainer$.

Stay Focused

In my analysis, guns resist simple categorization as either universally good or bad, dangerous or protective, fun or frightening. Instead, they are best under-stood through a “kaleidoscopic view,”considering the issue from multiple angles. To be sure, this requires maintaining a clear-eyed understanding of the lethal capabilities of firearms. [More]

Some of us have a clear-eyed understanding that sees through fabricated distortions.

That’s why we insist on “shall not be infringed.”

And reject kaleidoscopic views of gun owners as a panacea.

A ‘Liberal’ Approach to Guns

In contrast to the dominant scholarly approaches, which focus on gun deviance and harm, I find there is more to firearms than criminal violence, injury and death; more to gun owners than straight white men; and more to gun culture than democracy-destroying right-wing politics. [More]

If not for “straight white men” and “right-wing politics,” you wouldn’t have any guns, you fool.

I’ve written about his DEI “gun culture” before, and rather than unifying us, as he either delusionally believes or pretends to believe for an agenda, it’s a divide-and-conquer tactic, aided and abetted by Democrat-enabling trainers: Remember, with “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day.

‘Study’ on School Shooters Really an Innuendo-Based Hit Piece on Gun Owners

We’re supposed be influenced by a statistically insignificant sample of losers and apply that judgment to young people, such as those involved in NRA Youth Interests programs…[More]

Half the article is just deconstructing the first sentence of this nonsense, it’s crammed with so much wrong. So naturally, the media runs with it and amplifies it.

NSSF’s Happy Talk®

“Today’s gun owners are representative of America because they come from every part of American society. We don’t all look the same or talk the same, but we share the very important idea that safe and lawful firearm ownership is our right.” [More]

We don’t all vote the same either, do we, Joe?

And define “lawful.”

It’s not about guns. It’s about freedom.
