“....The American citizen most likely to own a gun is a white male — but not just any white guy. According to a growing number of scientific studies, the kind of man who stockpiles weapons or applies for a concealed-carry license meets a very specific profile.”
Yeah, he can actually read the Bill of Rights and the Constitution...
Baylor University sociologists Paul Froese and F. Carson Mencken created a “gun empowerment scale” designed to measure how a nationally representative sample of almost 600 owners felt about their weapons. Their study found that people at the highest level of their scale—the ones who felt most emotionally and morally attached to their guns—were 78 percent white and 65 percent male.
The US is 77% white (including so-called "white Hispanics"), so the conclusion is really pure BS. Regarding the sex finding, weapons owners throughout all human history have always and everywhere been predominately male.
This article does not even rise to the level of being bad science or fake science. It's nonsense.
