Yes. I don't own guns and I don't care about the gun control argument one way or another. I don't know the difference between an assault weapon and a semi-assault weapon or a shell or a magazine or a cartridge or whatever. I don't care. So whenever you guys argue for one rule or another that might solve this situation, I don't even know what you're talking about. It sounds like a foreign language.
As for your other point, it's not men only. Look up Annie Palmer, Colleen LaRose, women suicide bombers in the middle east, Phoolan Devi, who committed a massacre against an entire village and then was elected to the Indian Parliament. A number of normally sane humans are one bad day away from gunning down their family, and the mentally ill have an even higher risk. We're all violent and tenuously balancing on the edge, I'm INSANELY violent. More so than Anthony, far more, and I'm female.
So, in your own words, fuck that. All you're getting by insisting on a sexist categorization of violence is people questioning how committed you are to other kinds of double standards.
Anthony might be afraid of the police, but you equate Anthony with murder and death and "phallus worshiping male violence" just because he has a gun. You equate Sig with that as well. You are afraid of guns As MUCH as Anthony is afraid of police. The only difference is that Anthony hasn't claimed that you're masturbating yourself with your fear. It should be readily apparent to everyone in this thread that such a claim applies to NO ONE in this thread and is and completely outlandish.

No, I view you mostly as a cool guy, but when this topic comes around I see you saying that you can only be secure if you have a gun as big as the other guy.
So?
Hello,
You persist in only being able to see my argument in a single light. I don't have an arming policy that requires me to personally match the size of the other guy's gun. So your insistence of an analogy to manly insecurities is not only insulting, it's wrong.
Unilateral disarmament shifts the balance of power against the people while failing to address the problem of weapons deemed too dangerous for circulation in our communities.
Mutual disarmament is the only solution that actually addresses the problem.
How hard is that to understand?

Do you feel that the only way to achieve peace is through having a big gun?
Do you feel that your right to have as big and scary a gun as makes you happy trumps everyone else's right to live in a safe society?
Do you feel that you are completely, 100% safe as long as the metal in your hands is the most high-powered deadly thing available and you've got access to as much of it as you need to take all those evil MF's out?
If so, I'd say you were stroking your gun phallus.
Hello,
This describes exactly 0% of anyone speaking to you in this thread.
You have no idea how incredibly frustrating it is to argue with you when the only ideas you see are the ones you construct in your own mind as those of a phantom opponent.

Do I think that is a stereotype of manliness?
Gonna get in trouble here, but... maybe.
Men are expected to prove themselves through risk and - if necessary- violence. While many victims suffer from PTSD, men more often reach for a gun to assuage panic and dread. Men dominate through intimidation and violence. In addition, men are encouraged to be independent individuals... pathologically so, I believe. I think all of those factors together make men more prone to view violence as "the solution" and not "the problem". Even insane mass shooters are exclusively men.
Do I equate that with stroking a phallus?
No, not really. The men who are most adamant about keeping their guns are the ones who express the highest levels of fear. (Parenthetically, women who express the highest levels of fear are more adamantly against unrestricted gun ownership.) Frem and Wulf came by their PTSD honestly; early abuse taught them dread. I don't understand where Tony's fear comes from; I think it was taught to him at his father's knee and he carries it forward.
So, back to my other point: Men more often than women tend to look on violence as "the solution" instead of "the problem". Obviously it doesn't apply to all men and all women, but an honest look at gun deaths specifically (and violent crime in general) will support that generalization. I don't think that is a stereotype as much as a fact.

I agree with your thoughts about this gun-stroking thing, Sig. But I'm troubled though by this idea that men are either inherently or trained to be more violent than women.
It's an idea that's persisted european and asian culture for thousands of years, and it's the same idea that suggests that women are the "fairer sex." That women require men to protect them, fight their battles for them, die for them. That women belong in the household because they're "nurturing" instead of "violent" and so are better interacting with children. It's an idea of gender roles that I must reject.
