This point about the use of guns by males, fairly exclusively may be changing. I just returned from a week at HOTDOCS and the Toronto Film Festival, where a young female film maker was pitching a new documentary about how the gun industry and the NRA are targeting women as their new hot market. They are playing on women's fear to get them to buy and use guns and join the gun culture. Evidently some women are being persuaded...;-(

Although I don't agree with the idea of violence being carried out by white men as a norm, this was an informative post.  There is definately an emphasis on aggression in our culture.

Be well,
