The gun laws are designed to appeal to a majority of women If true, this is the problem to be corrected. I think they're largely designed around non gun owners, especially those who have had little contact with guns. Women may be the majority, but there are lots of urban males who've never touched a gun as well.
Their lack of knowledge about firearms and gun owners is the problem that needs to be addressed.

Many people I know fear guns, even more so than they fear criminals. Most of these people also fear their neighbors more than they fear criminals. It's a visceral, non-reasoning fear of firearms. No amount of statistics, reasoning, education, etc., will help. The common complaint I hear is mostly: "Well, I just don't like guns."

That's me: urban male. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to become a gun onwer, but now I think "Where would I be w/out one."
NJ is one of those states where the rabble aren't allowed to defend themselves.
