Maybe Men Are Too Emotional to Own Guns

As Always, the Latest Mass Shooting Was Committed By a Man

It might be advisable to only allow women to buy and use guns. Many men seem too emotional to own them.

Mass shootings are one of the biggest problems we face in our country. 98% of them come at the hands of men. Yet another mass shooting happened at Brown University yesterday, with the suspect being a man, as always. Perhaps men are too emotional as a gender to be allowed to own guns.

There is certainly a typical profile of a mass shooter in the United States of America. The majority of them are committed by white males, usually between the ages of late teens to early 20s. Their political leanings are almost always to the right or far right. They are usually self-proclaimed “patriots” who think liberal people deserve death for their accepting views of marginalized people.

They’re not a fan of non-believers, either.

Their religious views are often some extreme version of Christianity. They sometimes live on their mothers’ couches or in their basements. One mother had had enough after her son was arrested for being part of a white nationalist group that was planning to riot at a Pride event.

She evicted his dumb ass from her home the next day.

They don’t generally enjoy the successes in life that most achieve through education and hard work. They have a difficult time regulating their emotions in a safe, productive way. Most don’t believe in going to therapy, which is unfortunate and sad.

They bottle up all of their negative, angry, hateful emotions. They turn to racism and bigotry against people of color, those of differing religions, and the LGBTQ community when they feel insecure about their shortcomings. They blame the shitty state of the country and their poverty on illogical sources.

And when they’ve had enough of their disappointingly average, unfulfilling lifestyles, they snap.

Instead of working hard, educating themselves, and trying to be better human beings, they’re holing up in the basement and reading far-right propaganda on websites like Parler, Truth Social, and Fox News. Douchenozzles like Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and Nick Fuentes whip them up into a frenzy with hateful rhetoric, and their already-fragile emotions and thought processes turn murderous.

Many men are too emotional to own guns.

Hey, Mr. Mediocre MAGA Man: Jesus doesn’t want you killing his creations.

Did you forget about this commandment? And the one about honoring your father and mother? I don’t think most parents feel honored when you go into a place of business, school, or church and start spraying the crowd with bullets. Men have historically enjoyed using the falsehood of “Well, women are too emotional for (fill in the blank).”

That’s total bullshit. Women are NOT too emotional for anything. That’s some male gaslighting crap.

I’ve hated that expression for the longest time. Men are the ones always seemingly in conflict with anyone else who disagrees with or challenges their ignorant views regarding politics, religion, racism, and bigotry. Women aren’t the ones treating the LGBTQ community like crap. Women are far more accepting of people living their lives and choosing to love who they love. Truly, who gives a damn if a couple is in a same-sex relationship?

Insecure men seem to be the ones with the biggest problem with it. They are the ones talking about gay or bisexual people being child molesters and groomers of children, which is also total bullshit. Even though statistically, more straight, religious men are convicted of these crimes than the people they spread lies, fear, and paranoia about.

Being that damn insecure and ignorant aren’t appealing character traits. Refusing to seek therapy, mental health help, or education to better themselves is the recipe for the next mass shooter. Perhaps it’s time we made a change in light of these all-too-common set of circumstances.

I’d trust a woman owning a gun far more than a man.

I think it’s time we made a new law regarding guns in America. Women should be the only citizens armed and ready to defend their homes. Or the only ones allowed to hunt while the men drive the ATVs. Or make the coffee, run the camp stove, or film a TikTok of the hunt.

Of course, men would never agree to this. They’re too emotional to go down without a fight. Likely, a gunfight. So there would have to be provisions in the law.

For example, any man who has owned a gun for at least 10 years or more and has demonstrated a responsible, law-abiding lifestyle during that time could be allowed to continue gun ownership. I also feel that the minimum age to own a firearm should be at least 28 to 30 years old.

The human brain isn’t fully formed until age 25 or 26. This is abundantly clear in the regard that most mass shooters range between the ages of 15–25. They don’t fully process the consequences of their actions when they commit a mass shooting.

Many of them are ready to die because their lives have been mediocre and unsatisfying for quite some time.

Another way to vet a man owning a weapon could be an extensive psychological evaluation before owning a weapon. Or mandatory counseling sessions to be required as part of the path to gun ownership. Men could benefit from therapy and learn how to control their angry, out-of-control emotions.

The male ego and pride would make this scenario unlikely, at best. Men who need these types of rules and regulations the most would object to participating. Fine, then let’s arm the women instead, Mr. Prideful, Angry, Unarmed Citizen.

With women armed and in control of their emotions, our country could be safer from the biggest enemy it faces: The mediocre, religiously/politically radicalized Caucasian man.
