Why do professors buy so many books?
Because they can and they want to!
Why do marxists kill so many of their own countrymen?
“Why do professors buy so many books?”
The old dictum of “Publish or Perish.” They buy each other’s books.
..as the expression goes, opinions are like someting else....everybody has one... I agree....I live in Texas; no pdroblem buying guns down here as long as you are eligible...I buy my guns because I CAN and I WANT TO... tell these professorial types to go pound sand someplace where the sun don’t shine.....
I call BS on the second sentence. For one thing, it is inconsistent with the first one.
The other is that I have never found gun owners to be an anxiety ridden impulsive group. On the contrary, they seem pretty rational and objective and can see more clearly what is coming down the road than the mind numbed, spoon fed liberals.
we like guns and they are a great hedge against inflation.
If you use the purchase of a firearm as a proxy for those who are less sensitive to fear then of course your study will conclude that those who purchase a firearm are less sensitive to fear.
If I have to explain, it you wouldn’t understand anyway
I’m an American. Weapons are part of my religion.
Why do we buy guns? Because we know history.
I wonder if this professor can answer why there have been so many murders in Jamaica since their Gun Court law was created back in the 1970s (banned all civilian firearms ownership)? Or why the U.K. has seen that good bit more criminal violence since sets of modern gun control laws were introduced in 1967, 1988, and 1997?
Canada and Australia.

A gun is like buying an insurance policy. You’re insured against the coming time when guns will be banned. It’s like taking action to protect yourself because government is subject to the whims of people with purple hair and a degree in Gender Studies. You’ll probably find that people who buy guns are also prepared for storms, power outages, and other natural and manmade disasters. You’ll find we have quite a bit of necessitates stored. We don’t trust that just because things are safe now that they’ll always be safe. You’ll find we know exactly what happened to people, like European Jews, who were not prepared to protect themselves and their loved ones. All of these things are manifestations of highly socialized and protective Alpha people who can and will act to protect themselves and others. What is happening now in Canada and France, for example, could easily morph into what happened in half a dozen other countries that suddenly and brutally killed half of their own people. I think both of those countries are pushing some of the wrong people into a response and they are doing so in the hopes that they can react to that response with prison camps...which almost automatically become death camps. Western civilization is teetering on a precipice and THAT is why people are buying guns.
Guns are also beautiful and clever mechanical mechanisms. Some like to collect stamps or clocks. The professor needs to go pester them.
Like Larry Potterfield says, why do womens need so many shoes?
